What was the first Movie you saw in a theather?

[royalfan5]

I saw Return to OZ when I was 3. In retrospect, probably not the best movie to see when you are three.

[Petro-Sooner]

E.T.

[soonerinabilene]

[OKC Sooner]

Drive-in, double feature... Forbidden Planet and The Black Scorpion

[colleyvillesooner]

According to my parnets, it was Empires Stirke Back, I was 1 1/2.

First one I remember seeing on opening night was Batman when I was 11.

[Scott D]

so nice coffeyville posted it twice ;)

[colleyvillesooner]

:mad:

[Beef]

King Kong (1976) was the first I really remember seeing. I'm sure I saw some before that. My first R movie in the theater was Blues Brothers. I can't remember what movie I actually bought the ticket for though since I was under age to see an R movie.

[TopDaugIn2000]

E.T.

ditto, but I slept thru most of it.

[Hamhock]

drive in...urban cowboy

[KsSooner]

Sound of Music in Tulsa

[Scott D]

ditto, but I slept thru most of it.

I knew I was twisted when pressed by friends if I had cried when it looked like ET had died. My reply was I laughed out loud when I saw the raccoons trying to eat ET's body.

[pb4ou]

My uncle took me to see Blazing Saddles when I was 5.

:D

[lumberlady]

Creature from the Black Lagoon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1954 in 3D boy was it impressive!!!!!!!

[King Crimson]

either 3 Musketeers (Mi Lady Raquel Welch+cleavage=teh win) or the Bad News Bears at the old east side drive-in Norman.

[Viking Kitten]

My uncle took me to see Blazing Saddles when I was 5.

:D

Ditto. Only it was my parents and I was three.
(Edit: I had to double check since PB and I are the same age. It was released in '74 so IN YOUR FACE PB. :D)


BTW... what is a theather? I'm thinking either a gay Roman emperor or Cindy Brady covering Veruca Salt.

[Condescending Sooner]

High Plains Drifter.


Reminds me of one name they considered before settling on Brokeback Mountain. "Hi, plains drifter!!!"

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

The first one I remember was E.T. but my parents took us to the drive-in all the time before that.

[SicEmBaylor]

Birth of a Nation
Spek

[SicEmBaylor]

Man, I wish I could remember but we used to go to a ton of movies and my parents would always take me with them. Even to R rated movies, they never restricted what I watched so honestly I have absolutely no clue.

[47straight]

Transformers, the movie.


And not the michael bay crap.

[Pricetag]

I can't really remember what movie I first remember seeing in the theater. There are hazy memories of several, but I can't remember for sure. My parents took me to see Star Wars, but I don't remember that, so it doesn't count.

I do remember the first drive-in movie, though. That was Superman, at the old B.A. drive-in on 71st.

[SicEmBaylor]

Transformers, the movie.


And not the michael bay crap.

That could very possibly be the first one that I remember. I would have been 4 and I distinctly remember seeing it.

[OUDoc]

American Graffiti, Star Wars or Close Encounters. Hell, I obviously can't remember.

[King Crimson]

the best was in the old days in Norman, when you would take the exit ramp off 35 to get on to Highway 9 as you looped around South to East there was a drive in down in the low area where the Residence Inn or whatever it's called now is....and they showed adult movies there sometimes....and so as kid you're sitting in the back seat and coming around the corner there a decent chance at night there'd be 5 story tall pron shots plastered across the darkness for about 10 seconds.

i'm not sure i understood it, but it was compelling.

[SicEmBaylor]

...Close Encounters...
I watched that movie last night, but I don't think it was about aliens. :texan:

[pb4ou]

:P
Ditto. Only it was my parents and I was three.
(Edit: I had to double check since PB and I are the same age. It was released in '74 so IN YOUR FACE PB. :D)

Well, I guess I was 3. :P :P :P

:twinkies:

[Uncle Rico]

'76 Kong....Muskogee theater over by Bacone...Probably an Old Navy or something now....good times

[AllAboutThe'O']

I know it was at the old Oaklawn Cinema in Texarkana and it was one of the Walt Disney movies. I'm thinking it was "Return to Witch Mountain." (mid 1970s)

[SoonerInKCMO]

I believe it was Escape To Witch Mountain. Starring the incomparable Kim Richards.

[mdklatt]

Does a drive-in count? Jaws, as best as I can remember.

[Soonrboy]

I remember going to the cleveland drive in alot, but was too busy running around to watch the movie.

[KC//CRIMSON]

Drive-In Double Feature

Magnum Force and Enter The Dragon

my parents were cool in their twentys.....:cool:

[Newbomb Turk]

I don't know, but I remember a friend of my dad's was a ticket taker at the movie theater. He would let us in every Saturday afternoon to see matinee for free. My mom would drop us off at the theater with our paper grocery bag full of home-made popcorn. You could do that then.

[KC//CRIMSON]

I think the first movie I saw in an actual theater was Doc Savage.

[Tailwind]

Shane.

[reevie]

The first movie I can remember seeing in the theater was Star Wars. I saw it at the theater that was at SW 44th and Western or was it Penn? I would have been 4 and a half at the time. I'm sure I had been to a movie before that, but I can't remember anything nearly as clearly as the first time I saw Star Wars.

[Sooner24]

Creature from the Black Lagoon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1954 in 3D boy was it impressive!!!!!!!


Are you the WWLS lumberlady?

[WILBURJIM]

Jungle Book. "Bear Necessities" is a rockin' song.

First drive-in movie I remember was, My Side Of The Mountain. Hippy movie.

First movie I paid my own money to see, American Graffiti.

First date movie, Friday the 13th.

[Sooner24]

Pinocchio at a theather on May Avenue in 1960 or so. I think there is a BlockBuster there now or at least there was.

[C&CDean]

I remember my first movie very well. Why you ask? Well I'll tell you. My folks were uber religious. Going to the theater was an absolute no-no. Burn in hell kinda dealio. Same with dancing. First time I ever danced was in 7th grade at a social, and if my mom knew I had, she'd have whooped my ***.

Anyhow, The Cross & the Switchblade (starring Pat Boone) was going to come to the Fox Theater in downtown Tucson. I'm not sure how old I was or the year, but it was in the 60's sometime. The whole youth group from church all got to go to the Fox and eat popcorn, drink cokes, and watch their very first movie. Of course they started it with a big prayer asking God to forgive and understand that we were only at the movie because of the message being presented, and that we're all good christian boys and girls and we promise to never set foot in a theater again.

What really ****ed me off is a couple months later, Doctor Zhivago came out while pop was in Vietnam, and my mom went to see it with some of her girlfriends. Us kids nailed her on that one, and pretty soon, we all started hitting the Apache Drive-In with a big ol' paper sack of home cooked popcorn and those little Coca Cola bottles. Movies I remember the most were El Diablo, Casino Royale, The Pink Panther, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Old Yeller, Rin Tin Tin, and The Sound of Music.

Oh yeah, watching a flick at a theater without extra-buttered popcorn borders on sacrelige.

[Sooner24]

Man, I wish I could remember but we used to go to a ton of movies and my parents would always take me with them. Even to R rated movies, they never restricted what I watched so honestly I have absolutely no clue.


Can I use that for my sig? ;)
