I think it was E.T.? Other than that, the only movie I saw when I was a kid was maybe Top Gun. We didn't go to the movies very often.
What's the first movie you remember seeing in the theaters?
-
Jurassic Park, on opening night. I cried!
-
Bambi. I think it was rereleased to theaters in the 80s. My grandma took my brother and I to the movies all the time.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: I saw that movie recently.... it's held up so, so well!!
-
Curly Sue
-
The Great Mouse Detective... Although what I really remember is looking all around the theatre and not paying attention to the movie at all. All of the people with their popcorn were so much more interesting!!
-
Hook. It terrified me. I slept in my favorite pjs for months just in case I got kidnapped in them and wouldn't be able to change. The fact that there was a balcony off of my room at the time only exacerbated the problem.
-
The Swan Princess!
-
@rattles: Omg the jammies thing is so cute! I can totally see how that would be a kind of terrifying first movie!
-
Star Wars! How cool was I?! (As in the first one, long before Jar Jar and Ewoks and midichlorians!)
-
Lion King. I bawled.
-
The original Land Before Time. I was 7!
-
The Little Mermaid! and then I remember Toy Story and...then my memory goes blank all the way until I was 14 and watched The Lord of the Rings.
-
Dune as a very small child. I'm still disturbed by the thought of those big worms... and Sting. I threw a huge tantrum when my parents tried to leave me with my grandparents, so they took me with.
As far as movies I was meant to see- Willow at the drive in and Little Mermaid in theater. We didn't go to movies very often.
-
Fievel: An American Tale. And now I feel so old!
-
Beauty and the beast
-
@FutureMrsMcK: mine was jurassic park, too!! at least as best as i can remember :).
-
Aladdin! I was SO SO SO excited to go see a movie in the theater!
-
A rerelease of 101 Dalmatians when I was about 5. My parents surprised me and it was awesome!
-
Lion King! And I still cry every. single. time.
-
Fantasia, whenit was rereleased in theatres in the 90s.
-
I'm not sure which was first, but I remember being invited to see the Land Before Time (invite came in the mail-must have been the PR campaign), The Little Mermaid (the theater was so packed they set up an additional ticket station using a folding table) and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (I screamed when the guys' eyes popoed out, my dad coveted my mouth).
So these three were all memorable experiences when I was little. Oh! Lady and the Tramp because my mom sung me the scary Siamese cat song v when I would act up. Ok...I don't remember. Lol
-
Titanic
-
My aunt and uncle took me and my siblings to see Lion King.
-
It was Beauty and the Beast!
-
The Little Mermaid. It came out on my birthday and I thought I was so special - lol
-
@TurtleDoves: I think my first movie was The Little Mermaid too! Aw, I love that movie.
-
it probably wasn't the first, but the first one I remember is pet cemetery and it scared the crap out of me!!!!!!! I still have nightmares to this day about it.
-
@TurtleDoves: @BabyBoecksMom: @swedishfish: me too for The Little Mermaid!!!

@FutureMrsMcK: Jurassic park for me too!!

Hercules, 1997. We didn't go to movies often, we usually just bought the VHS. This was a real treat.
-
dick tracy. we were late and the movie had already started so i had to sit separately from my family.
-
The Land Before Time. Loved it!

Another one for the little mermaid!!!

Aladdin!I remember because we always hear stories of how my sister asked my aunt very loudly in the theater: "why does he have a BANDAID on his HEAD?!"
-
ET. i remember being terrified afterwards.
-
Casper w/ Christina Ricci. It was fun.
-
I saw The Wilderness Family with my daycare and had nightmares! The first I remember with my parents was Willow. Land Before Time was a birthday outing.
