For me, it was one of these two..these were the first two movies I have ever seen in theaters from 1989.... Batman and Uncle Buck Posted by sofatater (Member # 4209) on :
Indoor theater- "Georgie Girl" I think that was in 1968. (I was ten and I went with the neighbor's older kids.) Downtown Pittsfield, Ma.
Drive In Theater- I think it would have been "Blue Angels" a biker movie. I think that was in 1964 or early '65. (It was before my dad went to Viet Nam)
I wish drive in's would make a come back!

Snow White & The Seven Dwarves. I'm only 30, so it obviously was one of those back in theaters things or just a theater that showed older movies. I saw it with my grandparents.

My dad took me to "The Rescuers" (from Walt Disney) some time in the late 70s. And I remember that they showed a trailer for a cartoon Spiderman movie...that facinated me those days.

For me, that would be The Lion King. (I know, right?)

I think it might have been a Care Bears movie, with my dad.

I can recall it was probably at a drive in theater in the really early 1970s. I saw one of the several Planet of the Apes sequels and even The Exorcist in 1973 when I was 5 and my parents thought I was snoozing in the backseat.
I saw Dumbo in a drive in around that time too, but I can't remember exactly what would have been the first thing I saw.
Are there actually any drive in movie theaters around anywhere anymore??? It was such a weird concept.

I guess they were pretty much gone by your teen years, huh? That's where a lot of us lost our virginity. In the back seats of our cars at the drive in movies! I wonder how many WU"s members were conceived at the drive in. Posted by LeDaemon (Member # 198) on :
Pretty much so. I think one by my house when I was a kid showed its last feature when I was in middle school. There are the remains of another one we used to go to 30+ years ago you can still see from the highway. All that remains is one of the large screens looking much like a decaying blank white billboard in what is now overgrown with full grown trees and underbrush.

I'm 51 and remember in the 60's going to the movies to watch Sinbad of the Seven Seas.

I vaguely remember the "The Wiz" In 1978, however my mother tells me that I was with her and my father a year earlier when they saw Star Wars, but I had fallen asleep through most of it. I was only 3 at the time. My mom felt it wasn't appropriate for a boy my age, my dad on the other hand thought it appropriate for boys from all age ranges.
