[CyberCubed]

Jesus goddamn Christ, did you really type all that out? There is no way I am going to bother listing the possibly 50+ movies I've seen in theaters since I was born.

[JakeSully]

Of course, i've seen tons of movies in theaters since i was 3 with Pinocchio 84 re-issue being my first movie.

Impressive ain't it? even me going to see R-rated movies since i was 4 when i saw Fright Night.

[Wildcat]

So what's the point? Why specifically what we saw in theaters as kids?

It's not really an impressive thing. We all goto the movies. A lot of kids see rated R movies too. I did. I saw the Child's Play movies when I was like 7.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Flintstones
Hotshos II
Sunes sommar
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III:

I've always prefered TV series or books and comics before movies because they can cover a universe so much over a long time. A movie is just circa 90 minutes (but fun to watch in a cinema).

[Prowler]

I have never really been much of a cinema going person, but even I can't remember every movie I went to watch there.

[Kris]

As I've mentioned in the thread about the latest movies you've seen/re-watched, this is going to be a bit hard for me as I haven't really gone to the movies that much all my life. As a result, most of the movies I saw before turning 13 (That is, if we're also going by "Movies you saw in theaters before you became a teenager".) were already released on VHS.

But what really came to mind in an instant would definitely have to be Jurassic Park, The Lion King and Small Soldiers. I might've seen a few more movies in theaters before turning 13 though, but it's hard for me to remember as most of them really were already on VHS.

[Kanon]

I dunno if it´s the first movie i´ve seen in cinema (high possibility for not), but I remember going to an old and dirty cinema to see "The Grinch" with Jim Carey.

I liked that movie so much when I was a kid

[TheSkeletonMan939]

What the hell, you remember every movie you saw in the theater? You sat down and typed it all out?

I checked it in Word, it looks like you listed 400 movies. 400 goddamn movies.

Everyone knows the #1 rule for making a decent thread is to make sure people are going to want to read it.

Also... you went on field trips to the movie theater??

He always makes threads with never ending lists.

[CyberCubed]

Isn't it kind of wrong or odd to remember every single movie you've seen in a theater? Sounds very autistic to me.

[Leo656]

Eh. Not really. I could if I really sat and thought about it. Meanwhile, however, I got sh*t to do so maybe later.

[Prowler]

Odd, yes. Since it requires having quite a fantastic memory. maybe he doesnt' throw away movie tickets? But wrong?! Why would it be?

[Leo656]

I actually try not to throw mine away. I have ones in a box from forever and ever ago. I once knew a guy who stuck every single movie stub on his bedroom door with a tack. People are weird with that sometimes, it's no big deal.

I might've been to a couple when I was real, real little that I wouldn't remember, like before age three, but I could definitely remember everything I've ever seen in theaters if I pondered it for a spell. I do like to list random nonsense so I just may take a crack at this later. I probably couldn't remember how many times I'd seen some of them though.

[BabyTurtles]

Disney...
Pixar...
I don't remember watching anything other than animated movies when I was a kid.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Sweet Mother that's a long list! Well, I don't remember EVERY movie I saw as a "kid" (are we counting teen years, here?) but I DO remember a few specific ones. E.T., Return of the Jedi, and Gremlins, E.T. being the first one I ever remember, when I was 3. Later, I recall seeing all three TMNT's in theaters (and all on opening day!), Ferngully, Gremlins 2, Ghostbusters 2, and Cool World, as well. Flight of the Navigator, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid, all with my mom. Bram Stoker's Dracula was my first real "date" movie, and I also saw Robin Hood: Men In Tights and Dead and Loving It in theaters as a teen, as well.

I needed a laugh today

My brother is one of those people who keeps soccer match tickets forever in a drawer. That's probably not uncommon either.

[ssjup81]

This is a tough one. I have to think about it. Unlike most, though, I didn't see R-rated movies as a child. My parents (well, my mother) was a bit strict about ratings and always felt if it had a certain rating for a person that particular age, then there had to have been a good reason for it. I remember when Tim Burton's Batman came out. My mother and aunt went to see it. I was maybe....8 at that time, my other cousin 5. We wanted to see the Batman movie, but our mothers said, "No" and that they had to see it first...just in case there were things in it that they didn't deem child-friendly or appropriate for a child to see. So...nope, we weren't allowed to see it. The deal breaker? Joker's handbuzzer burning the guy in the chair. lol My aunt did get the movie that next year when it came out on video and we were allowed to see it then with both our mothers.

So, anyway, aside from a couple of films, as I was 17 at those times (and still was carded when my friend wasn't), I've never really seen an "adult" movie in theaters as a child.

Okay, here goes...

ET (This was my very first movie in 1982...but I have no actual memory of this lol)
Heathcliffe the Movie (this was actually a field trip for me for some reason in like Kindergarten)
An American Tale
All Dogs go to Heaven
Oliver and Company
The Little Mermaid
Ducktales the Movie
K9 (I was 7 at the time I think and my mother was upset with my father for taking me to see this film lol)
The Rocketeer
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Rugrats the Movie
Austin Powers (I had no idea what this was....my father took my mother and me to this film and we were like, "What's an Austin Powers?" lol)
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
The Land Before Time
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Lion King
Mulan
Harriet the Spy
Last Action Hero
Dennis the Menace
Jurassic Park
Baby's Day Out
Home Alone 2
North
Power Rangers the Movie (our choices were this or Titanic..we chose this despite neither my cousin nor I being fans of the show and only knew a little about it from our younger cousins who were HUGE fans)
Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat Annihilation ( -_- )
Rush Hour (Saw this in the theater at Universal Studios Florida)
Star Wars Episode I
The Blair Witch Project
Mom and Dad Save the World
Godzilla 1997
Look Who's Talking
Men in Black
Soutn Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

That's about all I can think of.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Hmm, to add to my earlier list, I saw all three Jurassic Park films in theaters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (even dragged my dad to that one, and he hated it, LOL!), Batteries Not Included, An American Tail, Oliver and Company, and The Secret of NIMH (all with my mom), all three Karate Kid movies, Titanic, The Crow, Young Guns II, The Three Musketeers (Disney one), Batman and Batman Returns, Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Look Who's Talking, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I could probably think of others, if I wracked my brain hard enough.
