What was the first movie you loved?

*The Deadman* · 10-24-2021, 04:36 PM

Jurassic Park and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for me.

*FredWolfLeonardo* · 10-24-2021, 04:55 PM

The Jungle Book (1967).

Wow.... Diggin' really deep into the childhood on this one. OMG I honestly don't know if it was Superman II or Raiders of the Lost Ark, but both of those movies affected me to the core as a kid and I think they basically came out at the same time, although I couldn't say which one I saw first in the theater.

All I remember clearly was using a cowboy hat, one of my Dad's button up shirts and some string as a whip and running around the yard as Indy. But I also remember taking one of my Dad's blue button up shirts and tying it around my neck at the arms as a cape and running around the house "flying" too.

But either way it had to be Superman II or ROTLA for me.

*Icebot* · 10-24-2021, 06:23 PM

I think mine was The Wizard of Oz.

*Wildcat* · 10-24-2021, 11:25 PM

It was either Ghostbusters or House ‘86.

I was born in 84 and those were the first movies I remember wanting to watch over and over again. I’d guess it was GB since it came first. House came out the same year as the RGB cartoon.

I had the Proton Pack and trap toys and some figures and ghosts. Also some other various merchandise. House is rated R. It had no toys. Instead I got a toy rifle similar to the one the main character uses and pretended to fight monsters.

After those it was definitely Child’s Play and Jurassic Park.

Probably Ghostbusters. It's the earliest movie I have strong memories of, but I would've been like barely three, maybe.

I know I loved the Superman character before that but I honestly can't remember when I first saw the movie, or whether I saw the first or second one first.

So for now I'll just say Ghostbusters and keep it simple.

Has to be Ghostbusters. Or Aliens. One of the two.

*Turo602* · 10-25-2021, 01:22 AM

Toy Story. Used to pop in the VHS after school and watch it, rewind it and watch it again until I fell asleep. It was the first movie I remember owning as a kid. There were others too but Toy Story was definitely my first.

*newfan* · 10-25-2021, 02:04 AM

Venturing waay back into childhood, I am not sure but maybe either the Wizard of Oz or the Neverending Story, not sure which I watched first, maybe the latter.

I didn't care much for movies, but I recall enjoying Home Alone and Hot Shots. I first saw Hot Shots II in a cinema.

*Prowler* · 10-25-2021, 05:54 AM

Probably Toy Story.

~~ABrown~~ · 10-25-2021, 09:17 AM

Gotta be the original Transformers the movie from 1986.

*CyberCubed* · 10-25-2021, 09:33 AM

My earliest memories are probably Batman 1989 and Ninja Turtles 1 and 2. I’m sure I saw other movies around that time with my parents but I wouldn’t have cared about them much as a kid.

*MikeandRaph87* · 10-25-2021, 09:40 AM

I watched Secret of The Ooze in loop as a kid.I can still quote the script solidly.
