What was the FIRST movie you ever saw at a theatre and with whom? |
|
Mine was "The Green Slime" and my Dad was friends with the owner so we got to watch it from the balcony. I remember they had a guy dressed up as the 'Slime' walking up and down the aisles trying to scare people during the movie.

3. Don't recall...may have been "Battle of Britain" or "Run Wild, Run Free," |
|
both from 1969...I think I saw the first with my father (maybe both parents...think I saw it twice at the theater, actually) and the second with my mother. May well have first seen some Disney cartoon or movie, though -- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a strong contender, though I was only four when that came out and maybe I saw it a year or three later.
I saw Fiddler On The Roof (1971) early on -- didn't understand a thing about it, but loved "If I Were A Rich Man" and Dr Zhivago (obviously in rerelease) early on, too...both a little beyond me at seven or so years old, but I haven't seen Dr Zhivago since and yet I still recall the stunning cinematography and the scenery in the shots from the train.

7. My mother, but I wouldn't remember what movie it was. My first drive-in |
|
Edited on Sun Jul-30-06 07:51 AM by Hissyspit
movie was "True Grit."
I know I saw "Doctor Doolittle" with her in a theatre. Also "Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.," starring Dick van Dyke, "Valley of the Gwangi," "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" (a very under-rated movie), "Blackbeard's Ghost," "The Boatniks," etc.

12. Wow that's a pretty good question |
|
and I can't answer it for certain at all. I'm pretty sure Star Wars was the first one I saw on my own with friends but my parents must've taken me to see something before that...hmmm you know it might have been one of the Herbie the Love Bug movies.

With my grandmother. Or maybe In Search of the Castaways. Thoughit was a long, long time ago and those are the two I remember from way back then.
...Wait, I just checked IMDB. Pepe came first. Castaways was released a couple years later. So Hayley Mills was my first Hollywood crush.

but it was probably something like "Snow White" or "Bambi" with my parents. Mom says I was about a year old when they took me to my first movie and that I was actually pretty well behaved. :)

26. The first one I remember seeing |
|
was Christopher Columbus (1949) with Frederic March. My father took me; we also saw American in Paris together. Looking back, I think my mother kicked us out so she could have some 'space' for a couple of hours.

"The Lady and the Tramp" or "The Wizard of Oz". I also saw "Bambi" and "Love Me Tender", the first three with my sibs in our hometown of 1100 people in Illinois, for *gasp* 25 cents (WTF happend to the "cents" key on keyboards????), "Love Me Tender" when I was 5 at a theatre with the woman I refer to as my 2nd Mom.

33. The first I remember seeing was 9 to 5 |
|
..with my mom and her best friends. I'm sure I saw movies before then but 9 to 5 was the first one I remember.
By the way, it's such a crackup to watch that movie now and realize how much stuff went over my head as a kid. I was SHOCKED when I saw the scene where they were smoking pot as an adult. As a kid, I had no idea.

Not a bad first movie to see. I was 7 at the time (one year younger than Ron Howard) and I'm pretty sure that was my first time in a theater.
edit: I didn't say with whom. My dad brought the whole family. We rarely went to the movies but he was a big fan of that one. Later that year, I saw another one, Lady and the Tramp, with all the kids at my best friend's birthday party.

I was very young - 5 or 6 maybe - and terrified of the witch when she turned into a fire breathing dragon and talked about all the demons of HELL! :scared:
