It's Thursday!
Alright good folk, can you remember? I believe the first movie I saw at the movie theatre was Star Wars, back in 1977.
My older brothers attended the University of Iceland and it had a huge lecture hall that doubled as a movie theatre in the evenings. They would get student discounts and took me to see Star Wars (episode IV). I was seven 😊
How about you? Can you remember how old you were, where you saw it at, and with whom?
Have a great Thursday!
Time flies, doesn't it @John Funk hahaha. To be honest, I do not remember much from going. I remember parts of the movie, of course, but hardly anything surrounding the event :)
But was it the 1939 version of Gone With The Wind that you saw? That sucker is long!
Yes, it was the original! And something like 3 hours or so. I remember there being an intermission. :-)
@Kristjan Geir Mathiesen - Servado I don't know for sure. But the earliest one I can remember seeing was the original "Land before time".
@Jimmy Seddon yeah it is hard to think that far back :) Unless it was some major experience. This is a good one!
@Kristjan Geir Mathiesen - Servado I should have also pointed out that 1997 was the first time I saw a Star Wars movie in theatres when they re-released them for the 30th anniversary. My Dad took me to see a Episode IV - New Hope!
I don't remember exactly when (better off this way... it's been a long time), but for sure, my first one was The NeverEnding Story.
Ahh, Limahl and that song! Classic movie as well. I like it.
To this day, I still don't think I have every watched this movie in it's entirety.
Now that you mention it @Jimmy Seddon I don't think I have either. But I have seen most of it few times :)
I remember watching it a few times. To me, one of those movies that bring lots of good memories.
I loved this movie as a child (actually I still do!). I watched the VHS so many times there was a point where I could quote every single line in the movie word for word.
ET was the first movie I remember. I think I even got a little scared.
I do not remember exactly. I do remember Dad taking me to see Star Wars: A New Hope and 2001: A Space Odyssey when the Granby Theatre at Cemetary Junction in Reading was running Sci-Fi season (and that was before we saw ET in New York on its first release, I remember queuing around the block for that)
The inexactitude is that I have a feeling my grandparents took me to see a couple of Disney's before that.
As far as I remember, "Jurassic Park" was my first Hollywood movie that I saw in a theater in my hometown in India. I as 9 at that time, and it was a special "Movie Event" organized by our school and was a fun experience watching this amazing movie as a kid with all my school friends and class teachers.
That is an excellent movie with great cast!
Same as @Gokce Gursel _Snapbytes_ ... Lion King. I was about 6 years old and our dad took us to the theatre. It was amazing. I remember it was recorded with Czech subtitles. I probably could not read so fast but I remember the music... it was the best part. I still listen to this soundtrack.
There is also great musical (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewOAsUWQJvo), sorry I had to share :)
Mine was Annie! Great songs, iconic cast, still holds up today. Does anyone else remember the fireworks spelling out "A-n-n-i-e"? For years I thought those were real and was disappointed every fourth of July when the fireworks didn't spell anything.
I'm not sure what movies I saw at the theatre as a child but the first movie I went to with friends without a parent/grandparent/relative was:
I don't think I have seen this one, might just have to add it to my list :)
I remember this as the first "scary" movie I ever saw in the theater -- as a young child, I was terrified when the shrinking woman fell down the garbage disposal!! The humor was definitely lost on me... 😆
As a theatre kid and film enthusiast I gotta say the Princess Bride really hits home, from the first time I watched it in the second grade till now even, I catch something new! That script is MUAH 💕chef's kiss💕
@Kyren Wong did you see the table read they did a few months back? It was so amazing. Loved every minute.
