So, inspired by this thread in the music section...

...I decided to make this one.

So what was everyone's first movie in theaters that you consciously remember?

My first theatrical movie was ET in '82. My mother was told that kids liked the film so mom took me. lol. I have no conscious memory of this though, and can only go by stories.

That aside, my first theatrical film where I actually remember was either Heathcliffe: the Movie or either An American Tale in '86.

Batman: The original Tim Burton Movie!

Such an awesome experience. Jack Nicholson used to scare the sh!t out of me as a child. :)

My younger cousin and I wanted to see Batman, but our mothers wouldn't let us because of our ages and because they hadn't seen it first. They went to see it, though and the deal breaker was the hand buzzer part where the guy was shocked and burned.

We didn't see the movie until my cousin's mom got it on VHS.

[joefsas]

My first film at the cinema, that i can remember was Jurassic park! I hid behind my mum when the T-rex came on :lol:

[Gunpowder]

You know, I don't even remember. Probably Land Before Time. (still have it on VHS 8))

Edit: That was the first movie I remember watching. I can't recall the first movie I saw in theaters.

My first movie I ever remember seeing was E.T. It was a drive in, and I was a way to little to be at the movies and bored out of my mind. When I got older and rewatched it again, I realized I still hated it. Sorry E.T. lovers...

[CyberCubed]

Probably Batman.

[Icebot]

The first movie I remember seeing in the theater is The Sandlot, I couldn't think of any times I was at a movie theater before then, I'll let you know if I do.

[Leofan26]

Either the first original three Batman flicks or the Superman one that aired on TV.

I don't think I saw them in theater though, does that still count?

[pandaderek]

My first movie theater experience, that I can recall, was at Tokyo, Disney. It was Michael Jackson's Captain EO. So awesome to have seen in 3D, even if it was only 15mins.

[Allio]

according to my mother, it was dick tracy

I was just a baby probably no more than a couple of months, mother wanted to go see the movie and when I had gone to sleep she took me with her so she could see the film

[DarkFell]

I honestly do no remember my very first movie that I ever saw. However, I do remember that my father told me of the times that they had to get up to leave the theater *see #crying baby annoys movie viewing audience*

As a kid I got to go see quite a few movies at our *then open* local drive-in movie theater, the first Batman movie, and later Terminator 2.

[Donnieangelo]

For me, I'm sure it has something to to with Disney or The Wiggles.

[ssjup81]

Either the first original three Batman flicks or the Superman one that aired on TV.

I don't think I saw them in theater though, does that still count?Well, in a way...no since I did say first theatrical movie, meaning the first one in conscious memory that you saw in the actual theaters, but it's still cool to hear about your first movie nonetheless. ^_^

Well the first movie I went to was E.T but I was 2 so I don't remember it. However the first movie I DO remember was Robocop. My dad dragged my mom and I to see it. My mom put her hands over my eyes at what she deemed the inappropriate parts since I was only 7. *lol*

I never would've been allowed to see something like that at that age for language sand violence and "adult situations". My parents were strict on the movie rating thing, which is why my mom wouldn't let me see the Batman film.

[Mzx10484]

Disney's "The Little Mermaid" (in German: Arielle die Meerjungfrau).

[ObiWanFan4life]

At Home, the original Star Wars trilogy. At the theater, Toy Story 2. Both of which were awesome.

[turtlefanforever]

honestly no idea. But first scary movie I remember watching was jeepers creepers when it first came out when I was young. Scared the sh*t outta me haha. Now it's just funny.

[Prowler]

The first movie I've ever watched all the way through in my life? No clue, but I'm say one of these:

Space Jam
A Goofy Movie
Toy Story
The Lion King
Ducktales movie
Tom & Jerry's movie

At the cinema? Now that's easy: Asterix and Obelix vs. Caeser. Not much later after I'd go back to the cinema to watch Toy Story 2.

To be honest, i think the 1989 Batman movie is a very mild R movie.

Batman Returns, not so much lol

[ssjup81]

Batman wasn't rated R I don't think. Maybe PG 13. I wasn't 13 so my mom and aunt wouldn't take my younger cousin and I to see it.

[Slade]

First movie I saw in theaters was Home Alone.

[Jester]

Part of me feels it was Oliver and Company....

[blindturtle02]

Part of me feels it was Oliver and Company....

I definitely feel that it was something Disney for me too, Jman. Wanna say it was one of those movies they released into theaters around 87 or so. Wait, it was a double feature. Snow White and Pinocchio. Yup, just confirmed that with dad. Big motorcycle riding softy still has the stubs! haha

[Gorilla Grodd]

I have no idea what my first movie was but the earliest memory I have of watching a movie is probably A Nightmare on Elm Street or one of the early sequels. Which was cool because it spawned a love of horror movies throughout my youth but I think it desensitized me to the scary aspects of them. So I feel like I've missed out on part of the experience. I've watched movies with people and seen them legitimately freak out over certain things and it's always looked like fun to me.

[snake]

Probably Return Of The Jedi at three. I ran out of the room after seeing the rancor.

[Raph's Girl]

Oliver and Company was the first movie I went to without my parents. Went with some friends. I was 8 at the time. It was a double feature too with the original Lassie movie.

[arkangel]

The first movie I saw in a theatre was Star Wars. I was only 6, so I don't have a solid memory of it. I can definitely remember seeing Empire Strikes Back at 9 and Return of the Jedi at 12, as well as Ghostbusters and ET on opening day, though.

[discordiatookie]

Hmm, don't know if it's the first film I actually watched at the cinema but the earliest one I remember is the Ducktales movie.

[shuriken]

To be honest, i think the 1989 Batman movie is a very mild R movie.

Batman Returns, not so much lol

I find Returns to be a bit heavier than the first to be honest.

Anyway I think Batman Forever was the first movie I actively remember going to see in theater. I loved it. I still enjoy it to this day, and say what you will about the movie, but I find it more entertaining than The Dark Knight rises (less plot holes too).
Since we had THE BOX I'd wait for a movie to come out, then watch it.
