My cousins (there are a bunch of them, some quite a bit older than me) took me to a drive in and I saw one of the Planet of the Apes movies. If it was the first one I would probably have been only 3, so maybe it was the second in 1970, but I think it was the first.

Anyway my wife wants to try to take the kids to a matinee tomorrow. It's a little kid movie early in the day so even if they are little disruptive or whatever I guess it's no big deal. I think the volume of noise might be too much for them along with the darkened theater.

On Walden pond at a drive in when I was two or three.
Only reason I know that is I was watching the movie as a teen with my grandparents and remarked a scene seemed familiar and my grandmother mentioned taking me with her and my aunt as a toddler.

First movie I remember vividly seeing at the theater.
Robocop when I was about eight.

First I REMEMBER seeing was Jaws.

It was 67 or 68. I don't recall the name of the movie but I remember one scene. A crazy mad man put a woman is some sort of machine that stripped off her clothing and spit it out a slot. Sort of like the old school washing machine wringers. It was supposed to squish and spit her out also but she causes the machine to burn up. I was 5yo and all I wanted to see was her naked.

No idea. It was probably a drive in around 81.

First non kid movie was Return of the Jedi in the theater. Prior to that it was probably Bennie or Pippy Longstocking that they showed at the kids matinee.

Stir Crazy, with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. I have no idea why I remember this.

Don't remember 'cause I'm old.
Most likely a Sinbad movie at the matinee.
my parents would drop us off while they "cleaned house" on summer weekends.

My first movie was:

4 years old at the time of it's release and it made enough of an impression that I remember the movie when I saw it again on TV about 5 years later.

"Old Yeller"

I was around 4 years old at the time.

Can I sue Disney for years of emotional trauma?

Posted: 6/24/2017 3:01:27 PM EDT

Drive-In: Star Wars, opening weekend for my 5th birthday.

Theater? No idea, probably one of the Herbie the Love Bug movies or something like that.

LOL the Klan movie?

It was a beekeeper kind of a joke.

It was the first movie ever made (1915). An I-guess-not-so funny-joke.

I actually got it and thought it was pretty funny.

First move: Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea back in 1961. I was 5 and the burning sky freaked me the fuck out.

First drive-in: It was with Mom and my sisters and I think the movie was The Blob.

First drive-in that I drove to: The Devil In Miss Jones with Georgiana Spelvin with a young lady who was more interested in the on-screen activity than interested in me.

Star Wars. I watched it with my dad at the Fountain Valley Drive In when I was seven in '77. We watched it twice, back to back.

I don't remember the first movie I saw, or if it was at a theater or drive-in. One of the earliest movie memories I have was seeing The Eagle Has Landed at a drive-in in Las Vegas when my dad was stationed at Nellis.

Posted: 6/24/2017 3:17:09 PM EDT

I went a lot. The movies were a big part of my dad's fun growing up. He made sure I went.

Plenty of Disney stuff, apple Dumpling Gang... Herbie... Snow White.

Then Superman... Star Wars... Star Trek... Just about anything Sci-Fi

The first grown up movie I remember was Saturday Night Fever.

Posted: 6/24/2017 3:21:05 PM EDT

[#47]

The earliest one I can remember was some sort of marionette puppet version of Pinocchio, that may have been produced locally.

The film was cheap and grainy, and the audio was horrible.

I was 4 years old. The whale scared the shit outta me.

It was either smokey and the bandit or saturday night fever,, whichever i feel old now

I'm pretty sure The Lady and the Tramp was the first movie l saw at the theatre.

I know I've seen The Ten Commandments at the drive-in. But it would have been the re-release in the '67 or '68 time frame.
