I definitely enjoy watching people watch something that's new to them but which I've seen and enjoyed, but only with a fairly small group of people who I know well enough to be confident that (a) they'll enjoy watching it too and (b) there won't be any expectation weirdness.
Another social watching thing I enjoy is watching detective things with my Dad and discussing our theories about who dun it. (We're both experienced detective fiction readers familiar with meta detecting rules like He's Obviously Guilty So He Must Be Innocent. Once, when we were watching a TV adaptation of an Agatha Christie story I'd never heard of before, I had a lock on the murderer by the end of the first scene, because of the director's choice of camera angle for one shot.)
