DarthChile 3 years 2 months ago Posts: 10	In my case, it was Return of the Jedi (or so I think). I was about 5 and since then Star Wars changed my life. I also have vague memories of things like "The Gods must be Crazy" and other movies I did see in a theater when they were new. Goonies, The Never Ending Story, Ghost Busters (I really liked that one, I had to sit on the floor cause the theater was so full). I saw ET a few years later after it was released, in a auto cinema (hahahah kinda miss those). Good times...

Drahken 3 years 2 months ago Posts: 1237	Does "theater" include drive-ins? The first movie that I can be certain of a general date for was one I saw at a drive-in when I was about 5, "convoy". The first one I can affix to a certain timeframe from a walk-in theater was disney's peter pan, when I was 6. I was familiar with star wars when I was 5, but I can't be certain if I saw it in a theater or if it had been on the ABC weekend movie or somesuch (this would have been after the first movie came out, but just before empire strikes back). Likewise, I saw disney's cinderella &robin hood at a very early age, but can't recall exactly when or how (I just know it wasn't on video, since I hadn't even -heard- of a VCR until years later).

jitteryjewel 3 years 2 months ago Posts: 168	Summer School was the first movie I remember watching in the theaters. My cousin took me and the funny part was I was 8 or 9 and it was a pg-13 movie. LOL i can't remeber what I thought was cooler watching the movie or that I was breaking the rules

Hard to say, I think the earliest I can remember is Dunston Checks In (1996)

OldSchool6239 3 years 2 months ago Posts: 239	Well I think I've finally figured it out after really drilling my brain ironnically enough it was Disneys Robin Hood. What threw me off was that, that came out in "73" but I remember watching it in a theater on a field trip in "85" with a summer camp center. Must've been a special screening or something that day weird.
