I'm pretty sure it was some Blaxploitation shit.
But I DEFINITELY remember seeing "Star Wars" in the theater in the summer of '77. This was before they tossed you out between showings. We watched that shit twice...
"Ghostbusters II" may be the first that I remember the most. I was a fan of the cartoon and I don't think I'd seen the previous film before I saw this. I remember being creeped out by Vigo and being geeked that Bobby Brown had a cameo in the movie.
I must've seen "Batman" 2 or 3 times that summer though. I remember the opening title sequence (I thought it looked like tiers of a freeway) and the end starting with the Joker taking down the Batplane.

I remember, vividly, going to the art theatre with my parents and seeing Broadway Danny Rose when I was 4. They must not have had a sitter. Later, I remember seing The Mission in the same theatre when I was 5 or 6. And though I don't remember it, I was taken to see the Dark Crystal at age 2, which makes me still uncomfortable seeing any of the puppets from that era of Jim Henson, including the Storyteller stuff.

honestly, i think that the first one i ever remember is Land Before Time. totally a kids classic man i used to love myself some dinosaurs back in the day, this was great
my mom took my sister and i to the dollar theater up the street from our house. this was before my mom drove - we walked there and walked back and it was glorious.

oh wait... no... i saw Mad Max at a drive in before dirty dancing. they piled all us kids in one car... and we weren't really paying attention to the movie at all. it was all about getting snacks and bring 'em back to the car and just goofing off.
man... drive-ins need to make a come back.

...I recall being in the back seat at the drive in with my mom and her friend Cathy while they watched a double feature of Risky Business and something else. Needless to say, I was extremely bored. I ate twizzlers and fell asleep.

Though I think I'm remembering seeing it when they re-released a little bit before "Empire Strikes Back" dropped. Though my parents tell me that I did go to see it the first time it was in the theaters as well.

it was a smurf's movie but not sure which one, here are the smurfs maybe because it was early 80's.
the voices weren't the same as the tv cartoon so i was not about to suspend my disbelief in that and ride with the rest of the movie. i couldn't get over it.

I laughed my head off in the theatre. But was scared to sleep by myself when we got home. Somebidy gave me a stuffed Gizmo and I wouldn't go near it for weeks.
