First movie you ever saw in the theater?

[Volcane]

I think it was E.T.

 

[thebeeks]

Dad took me to see The Little Mermaid when I was 3. Apparently when the movie was over I asked him to play it again.

 

[Sheng Long]

We went to a lot of drive in ones when was little, but the first theater one may have been Star Wars which my father took me to see when it came out. I was four.

 

[poutmeter]

Terminator 3... what a disappointing start.

 

[Hank Hill]

101 dalmatians.What a pile of crap.

 

[sir_crocodile]

Beauty and the Beast (the original one, of course).

The 1962 one?

 

[DavidDesu]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 199X, can't remember what year but very early 90's, maybe even 89 possibly actually... I should really just google it lol. Ahh it was 1990 in UK.

 

[Creamium]

Jurassic Park is the first I can remember. Unforgettable to see as a kid. I got obsessed with dinos after seeing it, like many others I bet.

 

[Clowns]

That I can remember is either Terminator 2 or Jurassic Park. Seems I would have been around 3 when T2 released so probably JP?

This. I was 5 and it was awesome.

 

[bob100]

I think it was this

 

[pauljeremiah]

My dad took me and my older brother to see this in January 1989 at the Savoy Cinema in Limerick.

 

[Shadybiz]

My parents told me it was the original Superman at a Drive-in, back when those were a thing. First one I can actually remember was Lady and the Tramp, I think.

 

[tino]

It was a Japanese film call "Being Two isn't Easy" (1962), you can guess why I remember it.

I actually have no idea what was the plot since I was two, I think I will find it and watch it with my son when he is two.

I do remember the smell of the theater seat so I would say it qualified the first film I saw.

 

[Rassilon]

The Empire Strikes Back in the 90s. Most likely a re-release due to the special editions coming out.

The cinema I saw it at is now a Sainsburys. The sands of time are cruel, it was a beautiful cinema.

 

[Travo]

Grease. Yeah, I'm that old.

 

[Abe Lincoln’s Ghost]

I think it was An American Tail.

 

[GatsGatsby]

Batman Forever it was one of the rare times my dad actually took me somewhere when it was his weekend to deal with me. That Halloween he got me a riddler costume I never got to wear....asshole.

My mom took me to see The Little Mermaid when I was 3. I found it mostly confusing. Eels were scary.

 

[Macleoid]

Jurassic Park when I was about 12. I thought it was amazing.

 

[theBmZ]

1999. Inspector Gadget. I was 7 years old. I saw it at a Missouri theater, later that day we went to some park where the Batcopter from Batman 66' was dropping ping pong balls out of the sky for some sort of raffle.

 

[Supau]

 

[Grym]

I recall E.T. in theaters so that must have been it

 

[Thatonedice1]

First one I remember is Power Rangers the Movie back when I was a kid. I was so excited lol.

 

[DoubleG]

The neverending story III: escape from fantasia

I was 6 and not ready for Falkor the luckdragon.

 

[Sabretooth]

Border (1997).

It was a hell of an experience.

 

[bgbball31]

The first one I remember seeing is The Lion King. Not sure if there was one before that.

The Phantom Menace was my first midnight movie (throwing this one in there since I can't remember my first movie theater snack).

 

[vider]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I was 6 and I basically don't remember anything about the movie, because I never saw it since.

 

[shimon]

Tim Burton's Batman

 

[Deleted member 401]

Supposedly, it was George of the Jungle, but it's not like I remember anything more of the movie than the commercials on Disney VHSes.

 

[Lari]

My mother took me to watch Star Wars when the movies were re-released in the theaters, I was about 7 years old.
She told me I stood up the entire time and wouldn't stop talking about it afterwards.

I still love Star Wars to this day.

 

[Mike Double U]

 

[siteseer]

the first movie i saw without a chaperone in the theater, i still remember my mom dropping me off at our local 2 screen ...

I saw the sequel in the theater. Now that was a pile of crap.

The final act results in Cruella being baked in a cake:

 

[UltimateHigh]

[Spiritual_Chaos]

Aristocats with my mom.

Soon after my dad took us to The Lion King.

 

[nnex]

I'm sure it wasn't the first film I ever saw in the theater, but Masters of the Universe, which has surprisingly been mentioned multiple times already in this thread, is the first film I remember. I walked away pretty confused since it was quite a bit different from the animated series.

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie also came to mind, haha. It came out like two weeks after Masters though.

 

[blackhawk163]

The wrath of Kahn

 

[Lenneth]

I was 7 years old and I remembered it was Christmas Eve

 

[Lionheart]

Aladdin
Ace Ventura
The Lion King

I think that's the order they released in. First three, loved them all.

 

[KDash]

My dad says Masters of the Universe, but I was only a few months old when that came out.

Earliest I remember might be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

[Falchion]

My parents took me and a girl in my class to the Lion King.

 

[Deleted member 19813]

 

[Deleted member 17630]

The Lion King is the first one I think. I ran out of the theater because I hated the noise. I was like 4.

 

[Rizific]

Weekend at Bernies 2. Was probably around 8-10 years old and my older cousins took me. I loved it.

 

[Stranger Things]

Star Wars phantom menace

i was like 4 or 5 years old

 

[Bluelote]

the ending of Free Willy is the earliest thing I remember from a theater I was like 5-6
last time I went to a theater was 12 years ago.
