To piggy back Wabi's movie thread, what was the first movie you ever saw in a theatre?
Mine was "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams"
I was very young but it left a lasting impression on me.

First movie I have recollection of is Lords of Flatbush and that was at a drive-in.

Assuming Drive-In theaters count ... Old Yeller.
If not, if only indoor fancy theaters count ... 2001 A Space Odyssey.

I saw quite a few at the drive in with my parents which used to be a family thing. The first I remember going to at a theater was the original Star Wars parent free.

I think it was a double feature. Walt Disney. Nikki wild dog of the north and the other was the Walt Disney story of John Wesley Powell in the grand Canyon. I remember going with dad.

Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

Back in 70 or 71 The whole junior high English class got on a bus and drove to the big town to see Mary Queen of Scotts. the teacher wanted us to pay attention to the costuming and the proper english accents
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Don't remember the movie 'cause it wasn't a cartoon or a kiddy movie. Spent lot's of time at my maternal grandparents place when the parents were working or just busy. Rode a bus into the city with my grandmother to a big fancy downtown theater to catch a matinee of something she wanted to see. I was blown away by the fancy interior of the theater. IIRC it was the old RKO Palace in downtown Rochester NY because I recall that it had the word "palace" in it's name and that's what I thought it was. The inside was certainly palatial for a 5 year old who'd never seen such fancy stuff except on TV. This was circa 1955 and that place is long gone. I thought the movie sucked so I lost interest in it but the high point of my day was riding a city bus and seeing that fancy theater.
