1st movie you saw theatrically?

I got the idea from the DVDTalk Forum. Can you even remember? I don't think I can, but it could have been a Disney.

First one I remember is Return of the Jedi with my dad. I remember being thoroughly confused since I had Star Wars memorized but hadn't seen Empire yet, for some reason.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves during one of many re-releases in the days before home video. (Age 3) I was so terrified by the talking mirror that I'd turn around and look at the kid behind me (perhaps it was jeffkjoe!) whenever it appeared.

The earliest I can remember is The Sound Of Music in 1965 with my mom - I was 5 years old. My mom loved it so much we stayed to watch it again.

I'm sure it was a Disney movie, Bambi or Dumbo perhaps.

The first one I actually remember was Return of the Jedi, I was 3 years old and I remember my mom leaning over to read me the opening crawl and Jabba's subtitles.

Another one for Return of the Jedi. I was 2 and I called robots "sore-butts" for a year afterward because of how 3PO walks. Ah, memories.

I'm pretty sure it was Alice in Wonderland, in the 1974 re-release. I remember seeing the commercials and asking my mom to take me to see it.
