What was the first movie you saw in a theater?

[CJ]

I vaguely remember seeing a re-release of Snow White when I was 4 or 5 in the late 80s.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Pretty sure it was Power Rangers.

 

[Drizzle]

Beauty and the Beast when I was 3 years old back in 1991.

 

[CJ]

Beauty and the Beast when I was 3 years old back in 1991.

I was about 5 or 6. Me and my sister loved that movie. Saw it THREE times.

 

[CB Fan]

I was thinking about this recently and I believe it was

 

[kedrell]

My parents tell me they took me when I was 2 to see Star Wars Ep. IV in theaters and they say I was quiet and still and awake for the entire movie back in 1977. I'll have to take their word for it since I don't remember that at all. Earliest one I remember seeing in theaters was For Your Eyes Only in 1981 when I was 6.

 

[Dave McFly]

toss up between Popeye with Robin Williams and Herbie Goes Bananas which came out when I was 5

 

[Melpardus]

Earliest one I remember is Cats and Dogs when I was about 5.

 

[MadderMaximus]

First that I can remember was Ghostbusters when I was 3 or 4 (it was likely the movie theatre on a military base, so they tend to be the late runs, so I'm assuming I was 4 by then).

 

[m2k]

Gremlins and then a month later The NeverEnding Story back in 84 when I was 7. Many great movies that year but 2 was prob all a broke foreign kid could ever ask for really. Lol... Good times indeed.

 

[Mysteryman]

The first one that I have clear memories of is 2001 A Space Odyssey.

 

[titansupes]

I have two contenders for this--

Sister Act II: Back in the Habit (I have a very, veeeerrrryy vague memory of being in the theatre and being confused and annoying) or Batman Forever (not confused, definitely annoying).

 

[writer0327]

Star Wars in 1979 when it was re-released.

 

[Fincher]

Return of the Jedi, but I only remembered Vader tossing the Emperor.

 

[Tanin]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990

 

[Immortalfire]

Best I can recall, it was An American Tail

 

[sueb1863]

Either The Jungle Book (I really only remember being freaked out by the sequence where Kaa hypnotizes Mowgli) or The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969).

 

[StarLord]

I think it was The Addams Family in December 1991.

 

[kevork89]

Aladdin. I was 3. And I still remember seeing it in the movies.

 

[Guard82]

A re-release of Cinderella in the late '80s when I was 4 or 5.

 

[Neno_Kos]

Batman and Robin.

 

[Filmfan93]

Either The Matrix or Star Wars: Episode 1.

I remember these two as my first in-cinema memories.

 

[LoganPool]

1994 The Lion King.



The first day we went, every showing was sold out. My siblings and I were devastated. Had to wait a week. But it was worth it.

 

[-JKR-]

Batman and Robin.

I'm so sorry, man. t:

Anyway...
