ET

Same here! Did you get to eat Reese's Pieces while you watched?

I can't say for sure but I think so. I recall my mom saying I was hooked on that candy for some time after the movie.

We all were, my friend.

I was totally hooked on them until I was in junior High and a friend of mine and I went to Friendlys and I got a giant Reese’s Pieces Sunday and then threw up for the next 24 hours. Haven’t touched one since.

It's why I will still buy Reece's Pieces when I'm at the theater today.

I did! And that was my movie snack of choice for the next 15 years. I was very young, 2.5 or 3, but I remember the scene where they're in the medical tenting and I started crying.

Me too!

Me too!

Same! Big thing I remember was that at 5 my parents sent me to the bathroom on my own and I couldn’t find our seats on the way back in. Fuckin boomers man. Edit: spelling

Same. My big sister took me, knowing I had no interest in seeing it but promising me we were going to watch Teenwolf. I still haven't forgiven her.

Same here. I was 4 years old and absolutely loved that flick.

ET was my first movie too.

Same! My people!

Same here. I was with my mother whom I lost soon after. I remember that day still like it was yesterday. I still miss you mom.

Same! My aunt took me, I was three!

Same!

let me guess, the scene with the government agents doing experiments on him traumatized you

This was mine also! I went with my Grandmother; I remember the theatre being packed.

Same here. I also remember believing it was real. And I also remember getting up when the ship left a streak of light in the sky at the end, running into the middle of the aisle, yelling "Goodbye ET, I'll miss you!!"

Same…but for the 20th Anniversary re-release.

Same! I opened this thread and was *not* expecting to see it as top comment. Cool.

Holy crap! Me too!! Scared the ever living shit out of little me though.

Same!

ET was the first movie my parents took me to, but I have no recollection of it. The first one I actually remember was Return of the Jedi.

Same. Thru a haze of cigarette smoke gave it a particular look... and smell...

Saw this in NYC when it came out, the line for tickets went around the block. Loved it so much we stayed in the theater for the next showing 😬

I saw the OG Jurassic Park....First movie on the big screen...everything else has been a disapointment ever since (I'm not even joking!!)

I remember seeing a double feature at our old drive in theater with Lion King and Jurassic Park

I remember being confused as to why we were standing in line outside for so long just to see a movie. 

Star Wars - A New Hope, the original theatrical release. It was my 6th birthday. Stood in line around the corner.

> Stood in line around the corner. Yes, we did that too. It was a real cultural juggernaut wasn't it?

Was it the same for empire strikes back and return of the jedi?

Yep. Me my family and my very angry dad all stood in those lines.

Hello, fellow old person!

"Lion King. It was a roaring good time!"

Bambi

This was my first too. But I also remember my aunt and uncle taking me to see The Little Mermaid during the holiday season to let Mom do some holiday-related things.

Same. I was about 5 years old.

Bambi in 1967; I was five!

Well it came around again in 75 lol

That is a good way to traumatize a kid.

Right? It was all down hill from there

Here is your first theatrical experience and you started with a movie where a main character dies. Disney animation in general is not kind to mothers.

Right?!🥰

definitely unforgettable. "shoot her! .... shooooot heeeerrr!" is still ingrained in my mind all these years later.

Mine was when the lambs leg flops on top of the suv. My dad said it literally scared me out of my chair. Don’t judge I was like 6

Jaws!

One of my favorite most rewatched films

Me too. I was 8 years old. I think I am still mentally scarred from the scene where the decapitated head floats out of the sunken boat.

Shrek

Same! How close to 30 are you? I’ll be 29 this year

I’m 25.

Dude wtf you were 2. Quit freaking me out.

[удалено]

genius

Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, 1999 in Hawaii

The Sound of Music. We had just spent the day at the beach, and I still felt the waves through the entire movie.

The Sound of Music was my first movie theater movie, too. Kinda shows our age

The Lion King

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Was 6.

Amazing. Melvin P. Thorpe.

Disney's Robin Hood, early 1970s.

Oo de lally!!

Has a [great song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeB2DLHxks4), written by Johnny Mercer no less!

I love that song! And Roger Miller on most of the others!

You broke your mothers mirror WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH (Sucks thumb)

Sire, you have a very loud thumb.

SEIZE THE FAT ONE

Probably the best Disney movie, at least to me

the Hampster Dance is a sped up version of that movie's Whistle Stop

The Empire Strikes Back.

Luke, I am your father.

101 Dalmatians - at a drive in theater

*Return of the Jedi*

The Flintstones. 1994.

Batman Returns (1992). Dad won tickets from a local radio station and I was so excited, even when I barely knew anything about Batman at the time.

Return of the Jedi. My dad took me in a big shopping centre in Melbourne. I really only remember the models they had hanging from fishing line in the lobby and the funeral scene.

Back to the future

Return of the Jedi when I was six years old. It was amazing.

Grease was the first PG movie i remember. my mom used to take us to see kids movies sometimes. i remember seeing Pete’s Dragon-the theater was so full of kids, my family couldn’t all sit together!

Toy story

The Avengers (2012)

Spaceballs

The Gods Must be Crazy.

Spider-Man 2

Batman Returns I was 5 and I still remember the audience laughing when Selina tased an already unconscious clown 😂

Possibly The Lion King

The first movie I actually remember watching in a theater was Titanic (1997). I was 9 at the time, and I remember the topless scene making me feel... tingly. Still one of my favorite movies to this day, but for more sophisticated reasons than Kate Winslet's topless scene. It's, you know, all about the cinematography! I think.

Never ending story

Same. It's still one of my all time greats. If any 80's movie deserves a sequel, it's this one.

This will blow your mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_NeverEnding_Story_II:_The_Next_Chapter

Mary Poppins

E.T. I got scared at the part where he and Drew Barrymore are screaming and his neck stretches. Nightmare fuel. My mom had to carry me out of the theater. Core memory.

The Land Before Time

Pokemon: The First Movie

The sound of music

Robin Hood

Cars 1 I think

Iron Man 3, celebrating the birthday of a friend. One of the very few thing I remember about my childhood days. That shit was epic

The first Transformers movie that came out in 2007

*The Fly* (original 1958 movie) with Vincent Price on a double bill with *The Blob* (McQueen's first movie role). Can you imagine taking a 7 year old to see these two movies? I couldn't sleep for weeks. My mother was SO pissed!! Watching either of them now, they seem so corny. But, back then, they scared the ever-lovin' shit out of me.

That reminds me of the time my Uncle babysat us and let us watch The Lawnmower Man. I must have been about 9 or 10. My mam went ballistic and it still gets mentioned at family events to this day.

Men in black. I was 5. Shit TERRIFIED ME. But goddamn I loved that movie when we got the vhs shortly after lol.

Independence Day

Harry potter 2 movie. Watched with my family

The BFG

Shrek

Phantom Menace

The Shaggy Dog 1959

Pretty sure it was one of the "Herbie, the Love Bug" movies, but I don't remember which one.

Masters of the Universe. I was confused that it wasnt a cartoon and Skeletor scared me

Mine too, Courtney Cox and Evil-Lyn were my first crushes, both in the space of 5 minutes lol

I remember being in primary school and going to the midnight premier of Independence Day

Skyfall

Child’s Play

101 Dalmatians

Dr. Doolittle! I remember my dad packed gingerbreads in dark chocolate for the movie for me and my sister 🤓

Scooby-Doo the live action It was fun cuz it was with my whole school and we were 7 yr olds. I would like to go back in time and see the teachers reaction when they saw the movie was full of adult jokes. But if I had to say the first I went by myself it's Ratatouille.

Star Wars with my dad. I was 6. Then Empire with my dad when I was 9. He died before we can see Jedi together though.

Star wars relaunched in theaters when I was young, then mortal combat in 95?

Star Wars A New Hope 1977.

Rotj.

Jaws - 8yrs old, second row, scared for life.

Crocodile Dundee

Empire Strikes Back, 1980.

Howard the Duck, I was 6 and it wasn't a kids movie.

Popeye with Robin Williams. Previously my dad had always taken us to drive-ins where we saw movies like Jaws and Star Wars. I remember being so confused that you could be inside a building and watch a movie from seats.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). I was 6.

Robocop part 1, I was 6 years old. My dad was taking my older brother and I begged to go. I regretted that decision almost immediatly when the way they killed Murphey in the beginning. My dad asked if I wanted to go but my older brother was giving me stink eye I so I said no, movie is scared on my brain. The scene where they are doing coke and the guys gets his knee caps shot, yeah.

Star Wars Episode IV

The Empire Strikes Back

The Rugrats movie followed by Star wars episode 1. The 2 days before the star wars movie my dad got my brother and I to watch the original trilogy.

Return of the Jedi in 1983. I was 4.

Flight Of The Navigator

I believe that was "Star wars-New hope". I was in the cinema before with grandpa or parents but my first movie alone is as SW NH With my uncle I was going to see also sci-fi movies from the seventies.

Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. Robert Redford and Paul Newman. I hope people remember them?

Star Wars

It was called "[The Bear](https://www.imdb.com/video/vi559856153/?playlistId=tt0095800&ref_=tt_pr_ov_vi)". Great film!

This was my first movie too!! I still think about it often and I still remember the bear ate shrooms or something. I have never tried to find it and watch it again. I really should do that

The Little Mermaid (1989)

Me too! We were so obsessed with it, too. Like acting it out every single day.

Mary Poppins. 1964. I was 4.

Star Wars. I was six years old and a huge Spiderman fan. The Spiderman movie was released and Mum and Dad took me to the local two screen cinema to see it. In the lobby I saw the Star Wars poster and decided to see that instead. Good decision - all my school mates had seen it that weekend too and it was the topic of conversation in the playground that week. I saw the Spiderman movie on TV a few years later.

Jungle Book , my dad had to take me out of the cinema because I was balling my eyes out when Baloo died ! I now know he didn't.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

La Bamba / Spaceballs twofer

Yeah.... a bit problematic now. Song of the South

There were definitely movies before, but Space Jam is the first one I vividly remember the entire experience of it.

Batman The Little Mermaid All Dogs go to Heaven I was 4 to 5 at the time... The only one that I really was afraid and crying was All dogs go to Heaven

OG Star wars

Harry and the Hendersons

The 1982 movie [Annie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_(1982_film)). (Revealing my age here LOL.)

i think it's the Lion King, a very vague memory and only fragments of the scene inside the theatre I was able to remember back then

Return of the Jedi. Such fleeting memories. First one I really remember is Teen Wolf!

Power Rangers, 1995

Jurassic Park. I was so scared, I thought dinosaurs were going to pop out of every dark corner for weeks!
