My parents took me and my sister to a drive-in theatre while we were on vacation in Vegas. We saw Silence of the Lambs. I was four and my sister was two.

I was somewhere between 10 & 12. He looked at me incredulously and said "he was beating off..... have they told you in school about masturbation?" and I pretended like they had in order to avoid the conversation.

I first watched it up at my uncle's cabin on a Saturday night double feature that one of the local channels used to run. It was on a small CRT TV, and the signal wasn't all that good. Couple that was TV censorship and I couldn't tell what Miggs had done, she walks away, head jerks back, then suddenly Hannibal I is agreeing to help. The generator started to die towards the end so I missed more stuff when I ran outside to top it off.

Star Wars: A New Hope. This is the first movie I can recall going to the theater to see with my Pop. I was 7...he was 27. There can be no better father/son first movie experience, of this I am sure.

I'm not sure exactly what my first movie in a theatre was but I'm fairly certain it was either Toy Story or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. The former was more notable to me because I saw it a theatre we only went to once and it was for that movie specifically. Not sure why we picked that theatre but it's a grocery store now which I find kind of surreal each time I drive past it.

 I don't personally remember this, but my dad took me to see the re-release of Snow White when I was about 2 or 3. He tells me that when the Evil Queen transformed, I completely freaked out and tried to exit the theater by scrambling directly over my seat (into the startled people behind us). The first movie experience I really remember is also Toy Story My family was visiting our cousins in another state, and my dad and uncle took all the kids to the movies for a day. We were from a much smaller town, and dad was apparently shocked at the ticket prices even back then. Years later we moved to the same city, and I totally remembered that theater.  Also not the first anything, but my dad (again) decided to take me to see The Matrix Reloaded when it first came out. He'd liked the first, I was in a phase of thinking it was the coolest movie ever, so it seemed like a good idea. He also thought it was rated PG-13 like the last one, so surely everything would be just fine! I was 12. That Zion scene went on for way too long. ...Now that I think about it, my dad doesn't seem to have the best luck when it comes to taking us to the movies.

The only movie I've seen both on the original release and re-release in a theater is Toy Story. It was one of the first movies I got to see by myself at the movie theater. Also, the last actual film I saw in a theater was The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the first digital screening I went to was for Metropolis.

Apparently 1982 was a big year for me. I looked up all of my very earliest movie memories and they all happened back then. My very, very, very first memory was being in the theater lobby (which seemed impossibly huge and lavish to me at the time) and being offered the choice between two movie:   Now, I was absolutely determined to go and see Annie because even at the tender age of three I was a ladies' man and I had decided that Aileen Quinn was my jam. I remember whoever had taken me to the movies trying to convince me to go and see E.T. by telling me that there were cool things like aliens and flying bicycles. My impressionable little mind understood that to mean that you watched the movie while riding a flying bicycle and I still wanted to see Annie instead because gently caress flying bicycles, I was in love. I also remember my parents taking me to a drive-in. This must have been during the brief period where they were still together, because other than that I can only ever remember them being divorced. So, what movies did my parents decide would be great for their three-year-old son to see? That's right!     Needless to say, I was loving traumatized. I spent the entire run of both movies with my hands over my ears and my eyes closed but that wasn't enough! I had to have either my mom or dad put their hands over my eyes, too, just to make sure no emotionally scarring images got through. Nonetheless, they did. I spent most of my childhood terrified of trees, clowns, and vulcans. Then, in December of that year, a couple of months after turning four, what movie did my parents decide to take me to?  gently caress you, Mom and Dad.

Hey, ear bug buddy! I too saw Wrath of Khan way too early. Also, my mom thought it would be fun to watch Pink Flamingos with me when I was little. One of my earliest memories is watching a fat transvestite eat a hunk of poo poo.

I can't remember which is first - or if they were my firsts, but I distinctly remember walking out the theater of Power Rangers: The Movie, and vividly remember the "That is one great big pile of poo poo" scene from Jurassic Park.

The earliest I can remember seeing was a double feature of Wargames and Cloak and Dagger at a local drive in with my family and I think my cousins as well. Not sure if it was a double feature due to memory haze but we definitely saw both movies at that drive in!

Jose Oquendo posted:Bunch of children in here. I also remember this as one of my first, but I believe it was a theatrical re-release sometime around Christmas 1984 based on my assumed age and where my family was living at the time. I don't remember much, but I do remember that the theater had a guy dressed up like Darth Vader walking up and down the aisle before the movie began. My other earliest memory is Ghostbusters at a drive in somewhere in the White Plains area of New York... Literally the inky thing I remember about this viewing was the college administrator telling Peter he's a poor scientist.

Yet another child of the 70's, I had to look at lists of movies that came out to see what it probably was, because I know it wasn't Star Wars, although I did see that. I definitely remember watching the pink panther movies with Peter Sellers, so I think those are probably it. The whole family would go to the movies together back then, and there was usually only one choice of what to watch. My most traumatizing movie experience was a double feature of Little Darlings and Saturday Night Fever, which had to be 1980 or 81 when I was 9 or 10. I think my older sister got stuck babysitting me so she took me out to spite my parents. She covered my eyes during any sex parts, I didn't remember any of the backseat gang bang in SNF. But I do remember when Bobby falls off the bridge, I had loving nightmares about that for years. A lot of my nightmares as a kid involved falling and/or falling in to water, and we didn't have the onslaught of realistic TV and movies that kids do now, so I very strongly internalized it. Back in 2009 I bought Saturday Night Fever on Blu Ray so I could invite my sister to visit and we could watch it and have a laugh about that, but she got cancer, rapidly deteriorated and passed away in early 2010 and I never got the chance. I still haven't watched it. LloydDobler fucked around with this message at 21:33 on May 19, 2015 |

First movie I recall seeing in theaters was The Land Before Time (1988). I definitely remember my mom taking me after begging to see it, because dinosaurs were my first major geek obsession in life. To the point that I spent time figuring out how to pronounce 'archaeopteryx' and other dinosaurs that seemed odd for a 5 year old to give so much of a poo poo about.

Titanic, when I was four. My 7-year-old sister watched Spice World in another theater, and since it's less than half as long, my mom took her into Titanic after Spice World was over. Right at the scene where the ship breaks in two and some guy covered in blood dies, so my sister got scared and went to wait in the lobby. I loved it.

I went and saw Mad Max with me pa today, and as we waited in line we started taking about the new Jurassic Park and how mediocre it looked, especially compared to the original and got to talking about when we saw the original. The first film I remember seeing was Jurassic Park at the Chinese Mann Theater with my dad, and my lord was that an amazing experience. I was 5 and I can still picture standing in awe in front of the theater. Walking inside was even more incredible, my jaw dropped at the interior, oh the sea of red velvet, the decor, and the balcony! Never had I seen a balcony or curtains in a theater before, let alone the size. Just sitting there looking all around in stunned silence, and then the movie started. I mean as a 5 year old little boy the movie just blew me away, and I really am still thankful for my dad for taking me to that theater, let alone at all. He almost didn't as he felt it might scare me, it did, and when went camping the next week I was certain raptors would eat me if I was alone, but still so so worth it. Ahhhhh memories

I can't remember the first film I saw at a cinema but I have recollections of Batman Returns,Super Mario Brothers, and Jurassic Park. I do distinctly remember the first 15 rated movie which was Mortal Kombat I was 11 or 12 and only got in because the lovely cinema didn't give a gently caress who they let in and only charged £1.50 a film. I remember it so well as their was a couple getting extremely friendly a few seats down from us it was pretty gross.

1st movie I can remember was a re-release of Snow White. I had to have been 1 since I don't remember much of it save the dwarves returning from work. The theater was torn down decades ago The next two were re-releases of Peter Pan and Fantasia but I didn't (& haven't to this day) see them in full since we were late for the former and left after The Sorcerer's Apprentice for the latter (My mom had fallen asleep which was common). The 1st rated R movie was Eddie. Sorry Dad.

The first movie I saw in theaters was Bambi, my parents took me to it when I was like three. I remember being said when the momma deer died and scared of the forest fire, but not much more than that. A couple of years later they took me to see Star Wars and I was scared of Darth Vader and wanted to be Luke Skywalker when I grew up.
