Do you remember the first movie you ever watched in the cinema? It could also be a cartoon :)

The first movie I ever watched in the cinema was an R rated film called Leprechaun when I was 3 year's old because my mom was a kid herself & had no sense. That still pales in comparison to when my mom's best friend took me to see the movie called, "The People Versus Larry Flint" when I was 7 which still confounds me till this day. Then again her & I used to take shot's of NyQuil every night before bed since her & I shared a room & slept on a literal pool floating device. One time she was babysitting me, & when my mom came home found me passed out in a puddle of my own puke, when my mom questioned her friend she blamed me saying that I was the one who drank her wine coolers, I was 2. Another time I was balling my eyes out & she couldn't figure out why so she frantically rushed me over to my mom & was all like, "he won't stop crying & I don't know why!" My mom looked at me & reached for the burning cigarette that was embedded in the bottom of my foot, & said, "hmmm, I don't know, maybe it's this lit cigarette attached to his foot." She wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, that's for sure. Que Destiny's Child I'ma Surviver for surviving my childhood! Aww man, this post brought up the memories. Moral of the story is don't take your kid or friends kid to watch The People Vs Larry Flint. How the movie theater didn't say anything is concerning as well.

I don't remember - probably something Disney - but I vividly remember seeing Star Wars when it was released. I was 7, and it showed in the biggest theater in our town, and everything about it was SO far beyond the quality of anything we'd ever seen before it - not just the special effects, but the costumes, music, sets, props, ships, world-building, etc., that it defined our whole generation. I saw it in the theater 9 times, 5 of those with my own money (and you had to mow a lot of lawns and rake a lot of leaves to make the $3 or $3.50 a movie ticket cost - and I was 7!).

My parents weren't much for SciFi or even movies in general, but I'd also spent a lot of time with my god-parents and their kids, and my god-father was WAY into Sci-Fi, "creature-features"/monster movies, Kung-Fu movies, and other adventure movies like Sinbad and Jason And The Argonauts. I'm pretty sure he's the one who took us to Star Wars the first time - and at least one other time at the Drive-In, and he also took us to the premier of the Christopher Reeve Superman in '78, Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior, and many others.

Nothing had the impact of Star Wars, though. That was in a league all its own.

I can't remember if it was Power rangers. Only because my older sister was babysitting me and her son my nephew wanted to see the movie. Or if it was the John Travolta movie Phenomenon that our entire year was made to go and watch during a school trip.

I can’t remember for certain and it’s bugging me! The earliest that I can remember is seeing Mrs. Doubtfire at the drive-in but it wasn’t the original release showing.

Mr_Potatoman · Answer

One of the first movies that I remember watching was Puss in boots, I remember my older brother was taking me to a dentist appointment when I was 9-10 years old. For some reason we got there a few hours early, I think we made a mistake of thinking our appointment is earlier in the day, so with extra time my brother had a brilliant idea to go impromptu to the cinema. That's when we watched it.
The very first movie I watched in cinema is probably Ice Age 2, although I don't quite remember that time well.

I actually don't remember... I need to get checked for alzheimer syndrome. The first Jurrasic park is somewhere in there... that Jack the pumkin guy when I decided to finally skip out on trick or treating... Damn... I really don't remember. I do remember watching 'The Joker' where I snuck a bunch of alcohol in and I was dumping it in my soda... I was crying and I think I was freaking out the chicks that were all sitting around me.

Listen chicks... don't sit next to the hawt guy watching the Joker by himself and getting trashed by pouring booze in his soda if you're just going to get freaked out by him totally relating and having a moment with the character in the movie.

BeMuse · Answer

I don't know. I know I saw the Indian Jones movies in the theaters. I wasn’t born in time for the first one, but I’m pretty sure I saw it at a budget theater later. I remember seeing the second and third one with my mother and older brother. I remember seeing ET in the theater, but I don’t know if it was a budget theater replay or when it first came out. I know we saw it repeatedly in summer camp on the big screen. I saw all the Never Ending Story movies in the theaters. I feel like I saw Beverly Hills Cop in the theater. I saw Gremlins in the theater. I’m pretty sure I saw Star Wars in the theater. I think I saw Karate Kid in the theater. I saw All the Back to the Future movies in the theater. The first cartoon I remember seeing in the theaters was An American Tail. I'm not really sure which movie was the absolute first...

Lliam · Answer

The first one I remember was a double feature at the drive-in theater. The B movie was The Horse with the Flying Tail. The headliner was Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
I was five years old. I was absolutely enthralled by the leprechauns and the banshee.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I can’t be completely certain, but i’m pretty sure the first movie i ever saw in theater was “E. T. the Extraterrestrial”. I distinctly recall the experience because it was kind of a family event. I’m pretty sure i was the only male of my family to attend, and i’m somewhat sure it was the first and last movie i ever saw in the theater with my mother.

abc3643 · Answer

It may have been a movie in a drive-in theater. However, the first movie that I remember seeing was around 1969 and it was "Marooned". It was basically "Gravity", but more intelligent.

ChiTown33 · Answer

It was either "Annie", Star Trek 2 the wrath of Khan, or the movie "Krull". I think Annie actually came out first. But I think the movie Krull is more memorable because the movie theater caught fire in the middle of the movie and they had to evacuate us. I was only 8 years old at the time so it kind of leaves a lasting memory.

I THINK it was Dances with Wolves. The parents couldn't get a sitter, so I was expected to be on my best behavior. I remember being really really bored, but I tried watching it because it was the only thing to do. I may have even slept. No toys, keep the mouth shut.

altaboy · Answer

I think it was "Saturday Night Fever." You know, John Travolta with the Bee Gees music. No, I didn't pick the movie. I was 4. It was memorable only because it was at the local drive in theatre, and I thought that was so cool! We had the speaker on the window and everything!
