First Films

[Flix]

As far back as you can remember, without it being cartoons, what were the first films that you recall seeing? To the best of your knowledge, what was your first movie memory at the theater?

Not positive, but I think the first movie I ever saw at the theater was Back to the Future. That was about the time my parents got a divorce, and I remember going with mom and then again with my dad.

My grandparents had HBO and Cinemax when I was little, and I remember watching movies there. Some of the ones I remember were Teen Wolf, Real Genius, Hamburger the Motion Picture, Star Wars, Howard the Duck, House, Cobra, The Wraith, ect.

Man, it bums me out that I just didn't care about movies when I was younger, because I wish I had an impressive "first theater" example, but I can't remember back too far. The best I got is "Dick Tracy (1990)". I don't remember it very well, but I clearly rember seeing "Terminator 2 (1991)".

As for the first movie I remember watching? No idea.

[Neverending]

I can't remember my first non-animated film. But, the first one I saw in theaters was Mr. Mom. :redface:

[morpheus1987]

First movie I saw in theatres was Batman, as for first movie I remember I have no clue.

[Doomsday]

The first movies I remember, even though they were animated, were All Dogs Go To Heaven and Bambi, which I guess was a rerelease. I do remember though seeing a movie back in the day that I doubt anyone remembers called Cheetah, a Disney movie about......well, a cheetah.

[chewie]

The first film I remember seeing at the theater was E.T.

[coach34]

the first movie for me was rocky.grown men jumping of there seats shouting for rocky to win that was quit funny.

I can't remember the exact movie I first saw in the theater, but one that I do clearly remember was The Naked Gun when I was about 7. The theater in town only had one screen and my family wanted to see No Holds Barred with Hulk Hogan(I was a big wrestling fan back then). Anyways, we got there during the last moments of the movie so we decided to see The Naked Gun and wait until the next screening of No Holds Barred in a couple of hours.

One thing I do remember clearly was everyone in the theater laughing so much during the Naked Gun, particularly during the scene where Drebin leaves his mic on during his restroom break. At that age, I didnt understand alot of the scenes during the movie but I clearly do now as an adult when I watch it again.

[Tzarinna]

I'm so fcking old. I think it was "Snow White" and I believe it was around Christmas cause when we left the theater it was snowing and oh so magical. I only have vague memories of seeing "Star Wars "but I do recall "Empire Strikes Back"

[Diablo23]

Oh man.. the first movie that I actually remember seeing in theater was Jurassic Park I think.. I remember because I started stretching and then my uncle hit me and told me to put my arms down so people in the back could see. ;)

I don't know if that was the first movie I saw in theater.. it's just the one I can REMEMBER seeing.

[WuTical]

i started seeing rated R movies in the theaters when i was 8 in 93

[Kable24]

Star Wars in 1977. Just my dad and me at a little movie theater that had just one screen.

[todd philip]

I remember it very well, Beetlejuice. I was freaking scared by that movie, and then I fell asleep during the third act, I think my second movie was ghostbusters 2, I loved it! Then i think the next movie was Feild of dreams, the back to the future 3, and so on...

[AnimalLova]

The Little Giants / Sandlot / GHostbusters / Beetlejuice

[Sculder]

First movie I remember seeing tho it wasn`t the first was a Indian version of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi . First animated was either Bambi or Fantasia.

[FVD]

I was about 6 when I saw A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back for the first time. I also remember seeing Jaws 2 at a young age being scared out of my wits. How I managed to endure the movie was beyond me.

[fantasticfour40]

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I was 4 years old and I was scared.

I'm told my first theater movie was Pinochio, and I was terrified of the whale.

I know I watched the animated The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Last Unicorn, and Star Wars at home alot.

I do remember watching Jaws 2 when I was 5 and having a nightmare that night heh.

The first movie I saw in the theatre was either Batman or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade... I'm leaning toward the former.

[JBond]

Ahhhh, I remember seeing Jurassic Park. I had just finished the book. I definitely remember seeing it the second time, the theater was so full I had to sit in the front row. Now THERE'S an experience.

[the elmo zombie]

[prizm]

it was a movie that i snuck in to see when i was like 5
it involved some astronauts going to mars or something, one of the astronauts was swallowed by a giant mysterious orb that opened up and took him in

i cant for the life of me remember anything else about this movie, but i wish i could because it has been bugging me for years

[TBeane]

Oops, I missed that you had to see it in the theater. Probably a disney film like Beauty and the Beast or something like that.

Don't feel bad, in 1969 I was 7 yrs old. First move I can remember was either "The gang who couldn't shoot straight" (which back in those days showed 30min of cartoon shorts before main feature. ) or "Across 11th street."

1st movie I saw at the drive-in was " The giant spider invasion"
