I think this topic got brought up recently. I don't remember if I ever even participated in the discussion, though. Personally, I like it when people react at the end of a movie. I look at it the same way as I look at a crowd going wild after an amazing concert, or the way the passengers scream "WHOOOOOOOOO!" at the end of a badass theme park attraction. To me, it isn't corny at all. I just tend to see it as part of the overall experience. The crowd's reaction not only provides just a little insight into what others might have thought about the movie (while not 'important', I sometimes find interesting), but often serves as the icing on the cake, if I - too - enjoyed the movie enough to want to give it a celebratory "FUCK YEAH!"

That being said - I can completely understand why some people don't like it.
