First movie you saw in the theater?

[Thundarr]

The first movie that I vividly remember going to was the original Star Wars in 1977. I was only 3 years old at he time.

I do have vague memories of being taken to he theatre to see whatever Disney film was being rereleased at the time (back then Disney rereleased one of their classic animated features once a year or so) but I haven't a clue as to which one it was. I do remember seeing Song Of The South in the theater, though whether it came out before or after Star Wars I can't recall. It must have been the last time that movie had ever been released in theaters, because since then it has been banned in North America (and unjustly too, IMHO).

Because I have no clear memories of any specific movie before Star Wars, I'm going to stick with that as my official very first movie in the theatre.

 

[CGHulk]

I can't remember if it was Sleeping Beauty or Pinocchio.

 

[breadtalk]

Too bad i really can't remember what was that movie?????

 

[scifiwolf]

I'm fairly certain it was The Little Mermaid in Thanksgiving of 1989. However, I remember all of the summer movies coming out earlier that year. I just wasn't allowed to see any of them.

 

[Curt424]

I believe my first was Batman Forever.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I believe it was either Batman & Robin or Zilla 98. Might've been the latter.

I remember seeing commercials for Song of the South when it was re-released in theaters. It was definitely after Star Wars, maybe early 80s? I can’t remember exactly.

I didn’t see that one in the theater, but I saw a bunch of those Disney re-releases as a kid. I remember seeing Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Alice in Wonderland, The Rescuers, Mary Poppins, and Snow White in the theater. It was the only way you could see them back then.

 

[Daltonio]

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace when I was five years old. Still love it to this day. Oh, and I love Jar Jar too. t:

 

[Maximus One]

If I remember correctly, Oliver and Company.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I believe mine was Toy Story 2.

 

[Zantera]

The first Pokemon movie back in 1998. Good memories.

 

[Galactus123]

Toy Story 2 in 1999.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Do silent films or newsreels count?


Seriously though, I think it was Disney's Sleeping Beauty. And no, not the original run in 1959 (Sawyer, DS, Erz, don't you dare )! The re-release in 1979, thank you very much.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

I can't remember honestly. I think it was The Lion King but I am not 100% sure.

 

[Supernova]
