Oh yeah. The Born Losers was very adult with loads of violence and sleazy bike gang characters. I remember there was a gang member named 'Crabs' for his condition and when it was being mentioned by the characters we kept wondering where the crustaceans were.

A Bond movie is particularly cool as a first.

I'd like to know how much it cost us then in '73.

LOL That is hysterically funny.

That's funny too the way you word it. "marched".

The best day of the junior high school day was the annual noisy projector showing of radio station Q-107's 'History of Rock'. The one day a year to see live footage of what you've been listening to daily.

Grease (I think I was like 5) and Pulp fiction (10? 12?) come to mind, but on video. Both times, I got caught halfway, and my older bro got scolded.

Hell no! We watched Gremlins in our YMCA when I was like 3! Dude! I had nightmares for years after that.

The first movie I saw in theatres by myself was Pokemon: The Movie. And it was awesome.

Sigh. I feel so much younger than everyone else.

Beauty and the Beast.
Don't ask.

Never been to the theatre w/ my parents.

First time I did go to a movie theatre, I watched "the skulls". 'Twas a school field trip.

Is that a Mcfarlane? It's amazing the detail that goes into action figures these days! It almost looks real.

I think it is actually Stalone...

Now I am all paranoid and am doubting myself...

My first film: The World of Apu, by Sayajit Ray. My brother, being twenty-some years older than I, often took me to repertoire cinema.

I wanted to make a funny remark about your first movie experience but there were too many to choose from.

Actually, after thinking about it a little more (1962 was a long time ago) I've realized that "Summer Holiday" wasn't my first movie without my parents ... it was the much more intellectual "The Three Stooges in Orbit". I was 8 years old.

 

[BlindTiger]

I think it was Saturday Night Fever. I was 12.
I think one of the few movies the whole family went to see was Enter The Dragon.
