seeing vividly in a movie theater? Mine? teenage mutant ninja turtles 2. i got a free movie poster with it as well....man i still wish i had that poster :(

I remember getting really hype for that Kino fight at the beginning, and then the turtles come crashing in.

it was 83 & I was 5 yrs old...

was 7

still my favorite movie of all-time to this day.

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...

fell asleep during the movie.

Stop using slang just for you to be cool
Cause I go back to when it was cool to be you

It had to be like my 5th or 6th B-day.

My mom took me and some friends to the movies.

I still cry when I watch this movie lol...ah well I'm a crier at happily ever after movies anyway.

I still don't change the channel when I find it on cable.

but it is possible that I saw a tape of it, because I know my grandfather got a VCR around that time

This was mine :)

I was 5 years old.

"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 started off with a bang. GO NINJA GO NINJA GO.

I'd say I'm getting old but I think I'm already old.

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 cried at the intermission because I thought it was over. I was 6.

Flash Gordon

...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.

and too lazy too look it up

Raising Arizona
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
one of the Fantasia re-releases
the first Ninja Turtles Movie

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.

LOL

As opposed to me, who dragged my parents to more screenings of Star Wars films than I care to admit.

My mother must have had a supreme amount of patience.

I'm the resident old fart, and *I* was only 9 at the time.

when I was a kid. I also remember catching TMNT in theatres as well.

<--- now thats just funny i dont care who u are

bins super soulful record of the week (5/28 update): http://tinyurl.com/cq63ok

I saw that too! I forgot about that one

.

Pretty sure I had seen movies before that... But strangely that's the earliest vivid movie watching experience I can recall.

My parents couldn't get a sitter that night. Oh, did I mention I was like five years old. Nightmares were inevitable.

E.T.

1985ish in Germany.

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.

developed a life long obsession with Reese's Pieces b/c of that flick. I haven't watched it probably 20 years b/c the movie is depressing to me, now.

"Hi"-(c)Joker

.

specifically catwoman almost swallowing the bird.

.

i was probably in second grade for mathilda. i love that movie

Dolph!

the bear freaked me out... I cried and mom had to take me out to the lobby.

the specialist was second, I think... sharon stone's were the first boobies I saw, which was a much stronger memory.

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.
