That is a lucky draw. That's a damn good movie!
Hehe yeah, I'd have to agree. Studio Ghibli films are really nice. I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.
Possibly Fern Gully
Star Wars - the one where R2D2 gets zapped by Sand People and falls over with a comical thud.
Haven't seen it for yonks, but enjoy it when I do.
If you were in the cinema in the 70's, then it was just called Star Wars at the time. If you saw it in the 90's or later, it was A New Hope.
Ronja Räubertochter
I've never even heard of this before. I'm definitely going to have to look it up
It's a great movie, but watch the original, titled Ronja Rövardotter, instead of the German dubbed version:
The Abyss.
Still awesome now.
Arizona Raiders, with Audy Murphy, probably at the age of 10. I thought it was the most sophisticated thing ever. I saw it again as an adult, and realized it's dreadful.
Bambi or An American Tale, probably. 1st one is okay. Feivel is still amazing.
Perhaps the Peter Cushing version of Dr Who and the Daleks when it was first shown on TV in the late '60s. It's pretty weak - toned down to get a 'U' cert - and not a patch on Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. from the following year. When I saw that one, I recall that I was drawing scenes from it for some time afterwards. I don't recall that from the first one though.
Something interesting I discovered recently, Bernard Cribbins was in Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. predating his role as Wilfred Mott by some 40 years.
I think probably Star Wars. I still like it.
Empire Strikes back. Han Solo being carbonised, Luke skywalker hanging from bottom of cloud city. Just wow. Probably earlier ones but that was stamped on my brain.
Disney's Cinderella was re-released in theaters in 80s, I'm pretty sure that's the first one that formed a permanent memory. I'm not sure I've seen it from start to finish since then.
A horror movie called It’s Alive. I was 5 years old. My mom would rent horror movies without checking the ratings and I’d watch them. Even after this I always loved horror and never had nightmares or anything. But, I rewatched It’s Alive a few years ago and it is definitely not for kids… But honestly the craziest thing my mom rented was The Toxic Avenger, when I was maybe 10. She never saw it herself it so still has no idea what she allowed me to watch at a young age!
I think it was Disney's Aladdin at the cinema.
I'm not a massive fan of that movie, never was. It's an ok movie in my books. In that regard, my opinion hasn't changed. But I appreciate better the Genie as a character and Robin Williams voice acting, which at the time I was so young I didn't even notice.
That was my favorite animated Disney movie and probably still is, just because there aren't a lot of representations of brown skin people in modern media and that was the first time I was like hey wait a second maybe I could be in a Disney movie somewhere.
Plus I was a huge fan of Robin Williams. Which makes it so that I can't watch any of his movies anymore because it makes me so sad, but at the time I basically idolized the man.
Star Wars in either 81 or 82 when it had additional theatrical runs.
Still love it.
The iron giant and bubble boy are some of my earliest memories. Still great movies
The Christmas that almost wasn't.
Thomas (the Tank Engine) and the Magical Railroad is the first movie I remember watching. I was a big Thomas-head as a wee kid lol and that claw train guy was terrifying to me
I did not know there was a Thomas the tank engine movie. That show was crazy
The first one I remember was Rescuer’s Down Under. My mom took me to see it in theaters. Like most Disney animated movies, it’s held up.
Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust
It might be Little Shop of Horrors. Definitely freaked me out.
I vaguely remember crying when the cat was electrocuted by chewing on Christmas lights in the Griswolds Family Christmas.
King Kong 1976 beat out Star Wars, which was the next year.
The first movie I can clearly remember watching in a movie theatre was Mio min Mio, with a very young Christian Bale, and I've never watched it again since then but now you got me curious about doing that:
I remember a drive-in screening of Clint Eastwood’s Firefox and Megaforce. Megaforce seems to have found a cult audience in 2023, and I don’t know if I’ve ever heard Firefox mentioned.
I’ve avoided both as even though I have positive feels of that particular night, I doubt the films were good.
MegaForce was such a disappointment. You figure that a movie directed by a stuntman would have great action, right? Nope.
Also, Persis Khambatta was in three bomb movies in a row. [not in exact order] MegaForce, Nighthawks, and Star Trek I
Firefox is actually decent.
I’ve considered giving it a watch as I would have been around 8 that night, and I can imagine I was a bit young, especially if it was after my bedtime and following the high of Megaforce.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
I was 3 years old and my parents took me to see it at a drive in theater. Fell asleep before the end.
Isn't that the one with the whales? Probably not a riveting movie for a 3 year old!
Whales and time travel to the present day. Which is 1986, of course.
Ducktales Treasure of the Lost Lamp. And man its got powerful nostalgia, i had completely forgotten about it but rewatching it 30 years later i remembered all the dialogue.
That may very well be one of my first ones as well! Could be fun to watch it again!
Lady and the Tramp. Had to have been a re-release because I definitely wasn’t alive in the 50s. Don’t really think much because I don’t remember much except the spaghetti scene.
Star Wars, drive-in, 1977. I was 4.
Some movies I saw so young I always knew them, like Star Wars ANH (I was a month old when it first released), but the first movie I remember watching was Cheech and Chong Up In Smoke.
First, Roger Rabbit in a theatre. I was probably fourish.
More interestingly, at maybe eight, Pet Semetary. Kid me didn’t sleep for a good long time after…
