Radi0 4 years 9 months ago Posts: 105	The first fully coherent memory of seeing a film at the theater was the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in 1990. I remember going to Pizza Hut beforehand and then waiting in a surprisingly long line for the theater. Of course this was an actual theater, with curtains and only one screen, those were the days. While waiting in line, this creepy bespeckled janitor-looking fellow gave every kid in line a small stuffed Ninja Turtle and a little box of cookies. My Rapheal was missing an eye and had stuffing coming out of the side of his mouth, like the poor little guy was beaten and then had a seizure. I proudly held on to him throughout the film, but my parents wouldn't let me eat the cookies. To this day, I've never had a better time at the movies... well, if you discount the liquor-aided visits :-P

Alyssa Branen 4 years 9 months ago Posts: 2171	I can't remember how old I was with each one, but these are some I saw in theatres, not in order of when I saw them, just in order of when they pop into my head LOL. I'm trying to think of movies I would have seen from the earliest I can remember to about right before I started highschool. Dumbo, Bambi, Rescuers, Aristocats. 101 Dalmations, Song Of The South, Lady And The Tramp, Fox And The hound, The Great Mouse Detective, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc all when they were re-released at the theatre. Other than the ones that were re-released, these are what I remember seeing (i'm pretty sure) the first time they hit theatres. All Dogs Go To Heaven Beethoeven The Flintstones Huck Finn with Elijah Wood Batman Spaceballs Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Death Becomes Her Beauty And The Beast The Little Mermaid An American Tale The Land Before Time Aladdin Free Willy 1 and 2 Ninja Turtles (the first time we went to see this the lines were all the way outside wrapped around the building and up the street. We had to wait and see it a different day because it was sold out. That was the first and last time i've personaly experienced that.) 1-3 Mobsters (lol my first R rated movie in a theatre, but not my first R rated movie) Dick Tracy Honey I Shrunk The Kids Beetlejuice Edward Scissorhands possibly E.T if it was re-released after 1982 sometime a few years later) Ghostbusters 1 and 2 Back To The Future 2 and 3 Pocahontas Ghost My Girl 1-2 Home Alone 1 and 2 The Black Couldron Gremlins 2 (I remember watching the first one on VHS tape when I was really little), Willow Oliver And Company (the first time and then when it was re-released but that was when I was in highschool) Flight Of The Navigator (possibly, I can't remember if I saw it in theatres or on vHS) Big Top Pee Wee Honey I blew up the kid The Lion King Ferngully Ladybugs Casper Hook A Muppets Christmas Carol Mrs Doubtfire Addams Family and Addams Family Values The Brady Bunch Movie (Right before highschool) Look Who's Talking Hocus Pocus The Santa Clause The Last Of The Mohicans Legends Of The Fall Forest Gump The Santa Claus Movie (the one with Dudley Moore) 9 months Jurassic Park Independance Day Robin Hood Prince Of Theives Bodyguard Groundhog Day Dumb and Dumber The Mask Super Mario Brothers Naked Gun 33 and a 1/3 or something like that. Waynes World 1 and 2 Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (can't recall if I saw the first one in theatres) I know i've seen more than this but the others were probably not as memorable or at least not hitting me at the moment.
