What is the first movie you ever saw in a movie theater?
That I can remember...... Star Wars, 1977 I was 7 years old.

The first clear recollection I have of sitting in a theater watching a movie is "Willow".

Groucho

(in re-release)

Kurt D

Yes, it has to be Bambi (and yes, the movie did experience a re-release or two, chucklehead. . )

Willow? Wow, you're a youngun, relatively speaking of course. I've got shirts older than you, son!

Poltergeist is the first one I can remember. I was five, and I was terrified.

I graduated from high school in 1988, do you need help crossing the street old man?

Oh and I just remember going , I was not old enough to enjoy movies in 1977. I did not really start enjoying movies until I was 14 , The Terminator was the movie that I got my start loving movies. I saw it like 5 times in 1984. To this day I have seen it over 35 times.

Disney's Robin Hood was my first. It was during it's first theatrical run, not a re-release.

Travis McClain

I know my mom took me to see E.T. I remember being overwhelmed by the experience of being in an auditorium full of people, in the dark. I was three. I also remember being taken to a drive-in to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I don't recall much about the experience, except I think it rained before the movie started.

PopcornTreeCt

Probably not the first one but definitely the first one I can remember was Disney's Oliver & Company.

FantasticVSDoom

For some reason I remember seeing star wars but I turned 3 in November of 77.. Im guessing it must have been re-released a few years later.

godzilla rules

My first movie was ET. I was two.

DthRdrX

Ghostbusters

Ky-Fi

I know it's hard to judge ages on here sometimes, but yes, that does confirm my assumption that you're not in your early eighties.

Hmm...I saw Star Wars in the summer of '77 when I was 9....I don't THINK that was the first movie I saw in theaters, but I don't remember any before that.

I was 6 1/2 when it came out in May '88. I still remember the theater I saw it at in Windsor, CT.

The Cow

Pinocchio (early 70s)

arminius

Puss n Boots(1961) We went after church on a Sunday afternoon when I was about 8. I looked it up and this was a Mexican musical that was pretty weird. I also remember going to the drive in and seeing The Charge of the Light Brigade along with The Night They Raided Minsky's. Being about 13 at that time I was almost positive I saw boobies. Ah, a night to remember.

I was born in '71.I have very vague memories of seeing Disneys Robin Hood and Fantastic Planet..so either of those very well could be the first movie I saw in a theater.

Dr Mabuse

Wow... memory lane thing.

I vividly remember seeing King Kong '76 on the big screen. I love that film to this day just because of the impression it left on me when I was young. That may have been the first film I chose to go see at the movies but I'm not sure.

Also I remember seeing 'The Island of Dr Moreau' '77 very clearly. Those are two of my earliest memories.

Of course 'Star Wars'. I still remember the first time I saw the trailers for that. It was like something from the future or an alien civilization, it blew all our minds.

sauce07

The oldest movie going memory I have is seeing the rerelease of Song of the South in 86, but that is only a few flashes. My first full movie memory is Who Frammed Roger Rabbit.

EdTheRipper

E.T. and Beastmaster are the first two that come to mind. I specifically remember seeing E.T. something like 8 times in the theater.

Chad

I'm fairly certain it was Ghostbusters.
