Ghostbusters, but way too young to remember. The first ones that I remember seeing are: Bambi (re-release?) Friday the 13th Part VII (interesting progression here... ) Three Men and a Baby Beetlejuice Not sure on the exact dates, just remember that my older sister took me to like every movie released in the late 80's. And I remember CRYING one day because I wanted to see Willow but my mom took me to some Bette Midler movie instead.
Jaws is the first movie I remember attending, prob cause it scared the crap outta me. Plus we were vacationing at Cape Cod. Nice, Dad.
whoa... from you're posts i've always thought you were older. i guess that explains the jumping on other people who disagree with your reviews.
I think it was the original Planet of the Apes. I remember it well. I cried like a little b**** because I couldn't mentally digest that apes could talk and my mom had to take me home.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Home Alone in a drive thru movie combo with family like when I was maybe 5.
yeah... maybe those were some of my first american movies too. my first movie was probably some chinese movie. my memory of my childhood really sucks.
Y'all are making me feel old. The first movie I ever saw in a theater was a re-release of "Song of the South". They don't even get that cartoon out anymore... it has some stereotypes that could be taken as offensive, though they weren't meant to be. My parents wanted me to see it, probably because they saw it when they were kids? After that, E.T. Which was a couple years later. I didn't go to the movies very often as a kid. Eventually, Goonies, Gremlins, and Back to the Future (which I still love).
Ditto. I know it was the first one that my parents took all three of us kids to see, but I don't remember seeing anything before that. E.T. came out the same year I was born, so I don't think that counts, if I was there.
man, i have no idea. pretty sure i saw the little mermaid in the theater but i would think something before then would've been my first. i was born in 1981 so some disney movie from the late 80's may have been it. all dogs go to heaven? that oliver thing that was mentioned maybe. maybe it wasn't even disney, but it had to be some really kiddy movie. i would bet good money my mom has it written down somewhere.
I remember when I was a kid, I SOMEHOW talked my Mom into taking me to see a Cheech and Chong movie. I was probably 8 years old. We walked out after about 15 minutes... I still kid her about that one.
Me too... except I saw it out in the Memorial/Gessner area... 4 years old and humming the Star Wars theme for weeks.
I KNOW that I saw movies before this, but the first one I remember was seeing Jaws at the Galvez Mall......which no longer exists--they tore it down and put that new Target and Home Depot there. I'm pretty sure that before that I saw a movie or two at Gulfgate Mall....which also no longer exists.
"Empire Strikes Back" - 1980. Of course, at the ripe old age of 2, I hardly knew what was happening. In fact, I was probably one of those crying, screaming babies who I abhor to see in a theater today. (Given the fact that my parents love to regale my friends with tales of the terror that was baby drapg.) Parents.
