Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire First movie you ever saw in a theatre?

The first movie I ever went to was Keystone Cops. I think I was in the 5th grade!

1977. I was 8 years old.

My older brother and 2 older cousins took me to this movie. There’s a scene where Bigfoot slams his fist through the cabin window! To this day, I’ll never forget everyone screaming. Scared the he11 out me back then! My mom was pissed they took me! haha

The Sting. I was way too little to grasp any of it, except the theme song.

First movie I saw in the theater that really made an impression on me was Star Wars. Gave me a love of movies that has never went away.

Too bad the vast majority of movies made today suck balls.

Pretty sure it was Disney's Jungle Book we did watch other shows so I'm not sure. ...BUTT they did all start with a cartoon until I mid 70s

Can’t remember the name , but some guy was driving a charger I think it was , on a cross country bet and ended up crashing into a dozer road block at the end .
Sometime in the early-mid seventies .

Vanishing Point was the movie Kenneth 66.

Vanishing Point. Great flick. It was a Challenger.

A back to back of Bonnie and Clyde and Bullitt.

"Magnum Force" When i was 10 yrs old... My older sister bought me a ticket and ditched me there for a couple hrs... I thought it was Thrilling!, And to this day the only handgun i own is a "357 Magnum"... Went back on my own and watched "American Graffiti"... Problem with that was, I grew up to be "Bob Falfa"... lol

"The Ghost and Mr. Chicken", starring Don Knotts.
Must have been 1966 or thereabouts.

Top Gun, 1986. I was 3. One of my earliest memories.

The first one I plainly remember?

Willy Wonka
Might have been Legend of Boggy Creek

Still enjoy both today

I'm pretty sure it was one of those awful Disney nature films called Cougar Country. Would have been about 1970. I was 5.

Pinnochio at the Hollywood in College Hill. I was 3. It was a complete fiasco. I think it was the whale that set me off and I panicked and went up over the back of the seat. Mom had to take me out of the theatre.

They had a similar problem with Babes in Toyland. There was about a year's hiatus before they tried it again. The first one I sat through was 101 Dalmations.

Jungle book possibly Bambi as a very young boy is the first I can recall.

Same for me....saw it when I was 5 or 6 at a theater in Golden, Co.

I have no idea, most likely I was asleep in the back eat of my fathers 1954 Olds.

Thanks , Vanishing point it was .
