First movie you ever saw in the theater?

[Soj]

Batman

 

[Spectone]

I saw Star Trek the motion picture at the drive in and Star Wars at the cinema.

After I saw Star Wars I had a nightmare that the moon exploded.

 

[Scrobbles]

I think it was The Iron Giant

 

[Flame Lord]

The earliest I remember is the Phantom Menace, but it might have been Godzilla 98' too. They came out the same weekend apparently so whatever, pick your poison.

 

[Deleted member 1570]

It might have been Jurassic Park. That's the first one I remember seeing anyway.

 

[CylonToaster]

Hook

I loved that movie as a kid. I must have watched it like 10 times on TV.

 

[Hekku Takku]

I remember seeing Batman (1989), that's as far back as I can go.

 

[iAmPossum]

I don't remember being bored, but I also don't remember being excited.

That's how I feel.

 

[FRANKEINSTEIN]

The first one I remember is Robocop. I'm sure there was something more kid friendly before but damned if I can remember. My father to this day still apologizes for taking my 5 year old ass to it. I loved it but I definitely won't let any of my kids watch it till at least 16.

 

[OmniGamer]

Technically...The Color Purple. But I was like 3yo and asleep for most of it. First movie I went to as a kid that I actually wanted to see was Masters of the Universe

 

[Tiny Hawk]

Only one I can remember vividly was the first Harry Potter film, however, I fell asleep through most of the film I think.

 

[TheBeardedOne]

I honestly wish that I could remember. It's something that I would like to know. But I guess I was too young. Same with my first video games, it all blends together.

 

[Dreezy]

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and it was fuckin awesome. And it was at the dollar theater and it was still crackin.

 

[Urban Scholar]

It was the Sand Lot.

It was good times man.

 

[Rice Eater]

1st was Street Fighter The Movie. I was a huge fan of SF2 and Jean Claude Van Damme. What could go wrong? Well it even as a 11 year old I was like "eh, it was OK". Even though I already knew Ryu wasn't going to be the hero I still came out disappointed by the fact that he was shoved aside as a supporting character. But I went and watched Power Rangers the following year and to quote Dreezy who is only a little above me "it was fuckin awesome".

 

[Citizencope]

I can't do the math now but it was either Force Ten From Navarone(I saw boobs!), Jaws(bailed at the head in the boat), or Star Wars( Romantic comedy).
I'm old. =(

 

[The_Strokes]

The first one I remember is The Phantom Menace.

Yeah...

Came to post this exact same movie, holy shit.

 

[RetroMG]

Back to the Future, from the back seat of my parents' station wagon, at the drive-in.

 

[Suede]

I can't really remember, it was probably one of the early '90s Disney movies.

 

[Citizencope]

Great...I'm old.

Dude check out the OP's post and feel even older!

 

[Firefoxprime]

For me it was Disney's A Goofy Movie with my grandmother back in NYC. She passed away two years later so that movie's a pretty special part of my childhood (I was 5).

Eye 2 Eye baby!

 

[SandMan1216]

If I'm remembering correctly, I believe the First time I went to a movie theater, I saw Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie. It was awesome, though I know my dad had to be terribly bored, hahaha.

 

[KillerStar]

I was 7.

 

[Netherscourge]

Return of the Jedi.

The original one back in the 80s.

 

[Zedelima]

Star wars Phantom Menance.

I remember i liked a lot at the time, but my opnion changed over the years

 

[Just_a_Mouse]

Silence of the Lambs. Parents went to the drive-in and thought I was sleeping in the backseat. I wasn't. It was somewhat traumatizing at five years old.

 

[Dicer]

Star wars at the drive in, stars as the backdrop was mind melting to my young self...

 

[808s & Villainy]

I always strongly doubt people actually remember their first played/watched/listened/*insert activity* whenever these threads pop up, unless all of you have photographic memories or something. I don't know

 

[sappyday]

My earliest memory is Godzilla (1998)

 

[Citizencope]

Star wars at the drive in, stars as the backdrop was mind melting to my young self...

My frEREiend(that was a reach) I went to a 40th birthday party tonight and felt old. Come see me in the balding/hair transplant thread.
Movie related I(my dad) chose Clash of The Titans to take his kids to instead of Raiders of the Lost a Ark. Epic fail dad.
I put my daughter through Phantom of the Menace so hopefully they remember the hugs and words of wisdom before movie choices.

 

[BigMack]

Oliver and Company when I was 4. I loved Huey Lewis and had the Christmas ornaments from McDonald's. Was so excited to finally get it on vhs when in 1996 when it was finally released.

 

[Wein Cruz]

double feature at the drive in. it was a family movie and then The Shining. Me and my two bros were supposed to be asleep when the Shining played but my older brothers pretended to be. i was just a baby so I don't remember shit.

 

[Wyman Manderly]

beauty and the beast, 1991

 

[Incite]

Hmm, I really don't know but I know some of my earliest theater memories involve E.T and Willow.

 

[Kasey]

Batman 89 but I only have really fuzzy memories of it I may be conflating with watching it a billion times on VHS.

First vivid memory was Terminator 2. I think I saw Rocketeer around the same time. I remember having tie in Terminator cups from Subway and a Rocketeer cup from pizzahut that I'd play with like toys cause I was a poor kid.

 

[Deleted member 11093]

Never been to theaters, dunno when will it ever happen but I hope my first is a special one.

 

[Deleted member 17990]

I think it was Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone. I still remember seeing it.

 

[Deraldin]

First movie I saw in theatres was Pinocchio. I was three. The whale gave me nightmares. :(

How old if you don't mind me asking.

 

[Buffer]

Godzilla (1998)

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Batman Returns is the first I somehow legitimately remember seeing in the theater(which is crazy because I was 2 years old)
Jurassic Park at 3 years old is also the only other one I remember before I was around 5.

 

[Rad Scorpion]

A Bug's Life at a theater that served full on meals
Haven't been to a theater like that since

 

[Zan]

Loin King I think.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S A WEINAAAAAAAAA. IT IS BETWEEN YOUR LEGS.
(it is there. between them. between your legs.)

 

[Geeko]

First one I remember is The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

 

[John Caboose]

I believe it may have been The Lion King.

 

[Eleriu]

The earliest one I remember is seeing I think it was the 1998 version of Godzilla. Though I never sat through it because I ran out of the theater at the sight of a giant eye-ball gracing the screen.
