And here I thought this thread was going to make me feel young. Didn't expect so many. When I was trying to get past second base in high school. To be so many people's first movies. Come to think of it. Which one of you cock blocked me in 93, by crying during a movie.

Its a toss up between the 82 release of Bambi, or E.t. I would have been 4.

The first was with my parents in 1976 , and it was a documentary about Noah`s ark . The first movie without my parents was Star Wars in July of 1977

I'm told I was taken to see The Wizard of Oz when I was 3.

And this could explain some issues I have to this day.

My first at a Drive-In would be Woodstock in 1970 or '71. That's the 1970 documentary that runs 3 hours 5 minutes. That in Memphis TN.

My last at a Drive-In was The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas on Oahu in probably 1984.

First in a theater would have been in 1972 and I think the movie was probably Sounder.

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I want to say it was either The Jungle Book, or Race For Your Life Charlie Brown. Possibly a double feature with both??
It was at The Roadium drive-in in Torrance CA, in my dad's Mercury Montclair.

Earliest I remember is Ghostbusters 2. Small town theater with decently priced snacks and a balcony.

Who knows? Who knows if I even watched it?

I do remember seeing Godzilla vs. Monster Zero. I doubt it was the first one, though.

Bambi

This is going to be funny I remember when I was very very young my Parents taking me to see Bambi at a local drive in, and I was in the back seat and I kept turning around to watch Young Frankenstein on the other screen and I remember my Mom kept saying turn around turn around lol.

First drive-in experience was in 1981. It was a Disney double feature of The Fox and the Hound followed by The Black Hole. I was 5 years old and fell asleep sometime during the 2nd movie.

My grandparents took us, and I thought it was a terrible movie.

35 years later, I still think it's a terrible movie. No idea what people see in it.

You know, as much as E.T. is generally regarded as a classic, I, to this day, have never watched it from beginning to end. The most I've ever seen of it is probably like the last 15 minutes of it. I know how it ends I guess

This was my first theater flick.

Don't remember the first Drive-in for sure but I think it was an early Bond flick.

If my parents took me to movies prior to the 5th or 6th grade, I don't remember them.

We lived on Minot AFB when I was that age and I was allowed to ride my bike to the base theater and watch movies.

I still remember scenes from The Battle of Britain and Grand Prix. I probably watched other movies at the base theater in those years but those are the two that stick out in my mind as memorable movies.

The engine revving scenes, the multiple image scenes and cars flying by the cameras in Grand Prix, especially on that big screen was just awesome.

I found out at age 3 at the drive-in that I like Rachel Welsh

The first drive-in movie I saw was Star Wars when it first came out. I still have a couple of hazy memories of Storm Troopers from the start of the movie. And that they had some cartoons before the movie started too.

Now for movies in the theatre, I don't remember exactly. I know I saw the Sword in the Stone but it must have been a re-screening because it was released before I was born. I guess I'll have to go with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, since I remember it and it came out a few months before Star Wars apparently.

So there you go I guess. Winnie the Pooh and Star Wars.

Aladdin. Second was Jurassic Park.

Drive-in? I don't remember. It was about eight years ago, and I forget the movie, but I do remember the blowjob.

"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World" at a drive-in somewhere in Columbus, OH. My parents said I was "distracted". I hope so... I was four years old!

By far one of my top five movies of all time. I watch it around the Christmas holiday every year. I never get tired of it and laugh more than any other movie I've seen.

A cast like that will never be assembled again, sadly...

... When I was a young kid, mom and dad would pile my brothers and I l in the back of the Rambler wagon and head to the drive in. We were poor. Mom would make a huge bag of popcorn and a few gallons of cold Kool-Aid. We'd go in early and watch the catoons and family-friendly trailers. But us boys were to go lay down and sleep when the feature film started. I fucking hated that, but I was 5 or 6, so I now understand. When my younger brothers would comply I would sneak a spot where I could watch undetected. I recall:
