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.

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

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.
