what was the first movie you ever saw?
that you can remember at the theater...

the first one i remember was this cheesy flick called 'sasquatch' ... i was about 6 or so... sometime in the 70's... scared the living shit out of me...

a bunch of guys were camping in a cabin & a pack of bigfoots (bigfeet?) were throwing rocks at them :scared:

3. My dad took me to see Disney's Alice In Wonderland
Until he died (when I was 21) we always went to see animated films and his favorite genre SciFi together.

The penguin scene with Dick Van Dyke was my favorite dance scene.
I've always loved penguins.

8. It was either Fail Safe or Mary Poppins
Now wouldn't that make a great double feature?

I'm sure there were a few before that (I was about 5), but those are the oldest I remember from a theatre.

13. Birth of a Nation.
Yep, I'm that old.
;-)

Not really.
The first one I can remember is "The Jolson Story".
1946, with Larry Parks in the title role.
I would have been 5 if I saw it during the opening year.

24. The Music Man
And later that year, for a friend's birthday party, Lady and the Tramp. I thought it was enormously extravagant for someone to take a whole group of kids out to the movies, especially after serving them a sumptuous feast of franks and beans.

14. Stalag 17 at a drive-in theater
I was about 3. I barely remember the movie but I remember my parents watching it. I think I fell asleep in the back seat of the car. I remember going to the playground at the front of the drive-in before the movie started. And I vaguely remember the snack-bar commercials that ran before the film. I asked my dad to go buy me a Tod-i, which was a type of cold chocolate-flavored soft drink they had in the 1950's.

15. I remember being in a theater
when I was very young. In my mind I can see that I was wearing those white baby shoes, so I must have been around 2 yrs. old. The movie was a special showing of "Gone With the Wind". All I remember was the part where the little girl was killed when she fell off of her pony. I've seen the movie several times over the years, but when it comes to that part, I always remember being in that theater.

18. "Jason and the Argonauts"
The first one I can remember.

Excellent movie. Good special effects.

Plus...a ship full of hot men on a journey for 7 years?? Works for me. :-)

22. The first movie I saw was
"The Sound of Music." And I still love it! Having spent three years in Austria, I can say that the mountains really are that beautiful and breathtaking, too.
