    Mary Poppins with my mom and siblings. I don't remember exactly what age, but we were pretty young. Not even in school yet I think.

    I'm pretty sure it was either Star Wars or Superman.

    I saw Star Wars at a drive-in at 7.

    First movie I saw in theaters was Beauty & the Beast. My mom got me out of school early to go see it. It was a very surreal experience to be sitting there with my kid watching it when it came out in 3D.
  • I vaguely recall "Herbie Goes Bananas." I think i was with my mom and my sister, and I must have been maybe 8?

    I think the first one I saw in theaters was Rescuer's Down Under, I can't remember how old I was. I still like that movie.

    This is the first movie I REMEMBER VIVIDLY. It came out in 90, so I was 6 or 7. I also saw Arachnaphobia the same year. 21 years later, I'm barely getting beyond my fear of spiders.

    The first movie I remember seeing in a theater - but I might have gone to others before - was Star Wars in 1977 when I was 5 years old. :heart:

    I went to see The Lion King when I was 3 or 4. My daughter's first movie was The Lion King 3D. She was 17 months, and she did surprisingly well! Just had to tug along a sippy cup and some snacks. There were other babies her age there, too.

    While Titanic was not the first movie I saw in the theater it is the one that I remember seeing. It was my first real date outside of going to a school dance. I saw Disney movies and cartoon type movies when I was little. My Mom cried when we saw Lady and the Tramp!

    I was 5. I went with my friend Allyson and her family and we saw Operation Dumbo Drop.

    This is the first time that I can ever remember, anyway. I fell asleep and remember waking up when my dad was carrying me inside from their vehicle.

    Home Alone - I was 6 or 7 (I was born in 1984, so however old I would have been when it came out). My father took me and my sister and he fell asleep by the opening credits and snored the entire time.
    I was mortified, but I still love that movie.
  • The first movie I remember seeing is Jailhouse Rock. I was five. My father worked nights as the projectionist so Mom and I got in free.

    That's one of my all-time favorite movies........not the crappy remake, but the original with Gene Wilder!

    I think it was Return of the Jedi, and I was born in 1980 so I was little.

    Mine was 'Once Upon a Forest'. I assume I went with my mum and one or both of my aunts.

    I was six at the time, and I remember the movie but not the people I was with. The cinema was a very rare treat when I was young. I don't know of many people who ever saw the movie, I don't think it did that well.

    I love that movie!!

    i looove that movie too!! mine was the lion king if i remember right
  • A re-release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs when I was 3. I cried. The next one I remember is E.T. I cried. This remains a common theme in my movie going experiences.

    I have no clue. I remember the first movie I took my daughter to see. A Bug's Life. She was three. She dumped the big popcorn tub over her head and got salt in her eyes. Screamed like a banshee about "mine eyes".......mama help me "mine eyes hurt".

    I dont know if this is the first time but its the oldest memory I have of watching a movie in a theatre/drive in
    I had to be about 5 and my mom and her roommate and roommate's son went to see Grease at the drive in. We popped our own popcorn and took our own pickles. It was a good time. I dont remember the movie at all. Just the experience.

    I'm sure I went to the movies before this, but I distinctly remember going and seeing Jurassic Park when I was too young to see Jurassic Park.

    Still have @#$%in velociraptors running around in my dreams.
