Your first movie theater film?

I'm surprised that I don't know for sure but it was probably the 1966 Batman movie. Speaking of terrified, around the same age as you I went with a friend to see "The Brain Eaters". Five minutes in I was so scared I excused myself to go to the bathroom and bolted out the door and ran all the way home! Ha ha ha I eventually watched it as an adult and its a laughably bad "B" horror movie.

Jaws 3D

The Explorers. River Phoenix and Ethan Hawk. 1985

Jaws! With my cousins in Syracuse ,N.Y.. Cue the spooky bass sounds. When the head popped out of that boat Hull I squished my popcorn!

A nice fun thread !!


My mom was a big Elvis Presley fan and I remember going
to see Blue Hawaii in 1961 I was a young boy but I still
remember that movie .

I would say my biggie was True Grit with John Wayne
and I went my myself . I think I was 12 and went with
a buddy .

Jaws was mine too.
My Dad took us to Hollyweird for it because it was the biggest theater and best sound. It really didn't scare me though.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (original technicolor) - I can't remember how old I was.

My first movie was The Goonies which I went to see when I was eleven in 1985.

You were about Eight.

Either Robin Hood or The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes

Tremors. I was a wee lass. It scared me

Greyfriars Bobby


1961


Geez ; I'm old .................

I was impressed!

My parents took me to see “2001: A Space Odyssey” when it was first released in theatres in 1968 when I was 4 years old. It was my first visit to a movie theatre and I remember vividly how blown away I was by the imagery.

It’s still my favorite movie and I have been a huge fan of Sci Fi movies and books to this day.





I can remember my parents taking me to a Drive-In a few times before “A Space Odyssey” but they always had me sleep on the back seat while they watched the movie, so I can’t remember what they were, although i’m pretty sure one was a Billy Jack movie.

Magnificent Seven. (Brenner/McQueen)

I think it was Song of the South (Zippity do dah..) but it's been banned

also recall Jaws a bit later - was terrified!

"Oh Solon you are young"

You mean my first drive-in movie?

Memory gets foggy before I could walk, but I am pretty sure it was "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" with Clint Eastwood?

Forget what the other 2 were? The one I always wanted to see, I always passed out before it came on. (They did that on purpose. I am sure somehow in league with parents...they were crafty)
We could
Leave our home. All of us at once.
Get there before sundown, right at, and get parked. Hang a speaker on the window and stay there until 12 or 1:30 when movie three got over.
Between movies, you could go to the concession stand and it was all clean and the food was really good and everybody there and that worked there looked like you. Little kids. Since the whole thing had a 12 foot fence all around it, that the screen was outside of, everybody ran around wherever during intermission to run off sitting still for the movie. Nobody stold or fkd anybody.
We piled pillows and blankets in what was called the "way back" for a bed and nobody fought or shot anybody.

In my fog somewhere I am sure I remember Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson while passing out on popcorn, soda and ice cream narcosis....
