What do you think about that movie now?
Kiki’s Delivery Service
That is a lucky draw. That’s a damn good movie!
Hehe yeah, I’d have to agree. Studio Ghibli films are really nice. I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.
Star Wars, drive-in, 1977. I was 4.
Does Empire count for mine even if I was still in utero?
No. It barely counts at 4.
6 for me. Surely I saw something sooner than that? Can’t think of a thing.
Star Wars - the one where R2D2 gets zapped by Sand People and falls over with a comical thud.
Haven’t seen it for yonks, but enjoy it when I do.
If you were in the cinema in the 70’s, then it was just called Star Wars at the time. If you saw it in the 90’s or later, it was A New Hope.
A horror movie called It’s Alive. I was 5 years old. My mom would rent horror movies without checking the ratings and I’d watch them. Even after this I always loved horror and never had nightmares or anything. But, I rewatched It’s Alive a few years ago and it is definitely not for kids… But honestly the craziest thing my mom rented was The Toxic Avenger, when I was maybe 10. She never saw it herself it so still has no idea what she allowed me to watch at a young age!
You could say…
{Puts on sunglasses}
You got Troma-tised!
YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Ronja Räubertochter
I’ve never even heard of this before. I’m definitely going to have to look it up
It’s a great movie, but watch the original, titled Ronja Rövardotter, instead of the German dubbed version:
Possibly Fern Gully
The Abyss.
Still awesome now.
It might be a new hope, but I couldn’t imagine when or where I saw it.
I still remember my dad renting a vcr to watch empire strikes back. It was well after the release of the Return of the Jedi, but it was the first time we used a VCR.
My family wasn’t poor, but money was tight and so we turned it into a huge home theater experience with lots of special foods and unlimited soda. The last half was basically non-stop terror for me and I loved every minute of it.
I remember being more surprised that Luke lost his hand than Darth Vader being his father. My little kid brain just figured, yeah, that makes sense; not a lot of other potential dad figures lying around.
Bambi or An American Tale, probably. 1st one is okay. Feivel is still amazing.
An American Tale is the first movie I remember watching in the movie theater. And I feel in love with it. But I don’t think I’ve watched that movie in over 30 years. My kids and I will 100% be watching that this weekend.
Disney’s Cinderella was re-released in theaters in 80s, I’m pretty sure that’s the first one that formed a permanent memory. I’m not sure I’ve seen it from start to finish since then.
Empire Strikes back. Han Solo being carbonised, Luke skywalker hanging from bottom of cloud city. Just wow. Probably earlier ones but that was stamped on my brain.
Yeah, was 7.
Carbonite == Kryptonite at that age.
Had to cover my eyes for the freezing
Ghost Busters, the possessed vacuum cleaner scene gave me nightmares lol
I think probably Star Wars. I still like it.
The first movie I can clearly remember watching in a movie theatre was Mio min Mio, with a very young Christian Bale, and I’ve never watched it again since then but now you got me curious about doing that:
First, Roger Rabbit in a theatre. I was probably fourish.
More interestingly, at maybe eight, Pet Semetary. Kid me didn’t sleep for a good long time after…
