It's a good night...hub's 2010 red blend and the first movie I ever saw in a theater...Star Wars IV: A New Hope is on tv...happy msp! My goodness you are young! The first movie I saw in theaters was John Wayne's "The Cowboys." I was a fan of the Duke ever since. But that didn't stop me from becoming a Trekker a few years later. Gary: you are never too old to become a Trek fan. My mom is a life long fan and I guarantee she's older than you.

The first movie I saw in a theater was Swiss Family Robinson, which my father took us to shortly after it was released. See: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Family_Robinson_(1960_film)For years I thought it was a Christmas treat for my sister and me. However, since my mom stayed home, I think the real Christmas treat was a couple of kid-free hours for her.

Feels like being carded at the grocery store - thank you!

I may have seen something earlier in the theatre, but my first memorable movie was the debut of Star Wars...seen at the drive-in. That would be 1978 or so.

Star Wars: 1977. I think I saw it about 50 times before the end of the year. Although I was already a Star Trek fan, I can definitely say this was the most influential movie of my life. It's the only movie I saw twice in the same day. The Return of the Jedi: 1983. I was on a high school trip to the California coast and we stopped in Loma Linda to see the movie on first release.

Babes in Toyland (1961) is the first movie I actually remember seeing in a theater (6 years old), but I probably saw others earlier. Star Trek came out on TV 5 years later!

Wait a minute. "Hole in the Head" was earlier (1959). It pays to check Google. I saw that one before "Babes." Frank Sinatra sang "High Hopes" in "Hole in the Head." So I was 4.

My first movie theater experience was a kiddie film, followed by Barbarella. I don't remember the kiddie film but I have vivid memories of the lady astronaut and the walking toy dolls with gnashing steel teeth. At that point, I was scared and Mom made Dad take us out. I remember lifting my feet very high on the way to the car, just in case any of those dolls were hiding in the parking lot.

My first "horror" film was a really bad movie called "It's Alive". You can look it up on IMDb. My little brother and I were scared throughout the film, but my older sister who took us was laughing the whole time. I saw it later and understood why she was laughing. It was pathetic.

My first drive-in movie experience...JAWS. I was terrified, just a little kid. Older sister dragged me along & made me sit on her lap, so she could hide behind me during the scary parts; practically squeezed the stuffing out of me at several key moments.

I remember this one! It freaked me out as a kid, too. Never bothered to watch it again though. I did go see E.T. again on its 30th anniversary and, wow, did my experience change.

I was relegated to my sofa last Friday so binge watched the first season of classic Trek. It had been a while. Spock was actually a lot more emotive than I remembered. It's interesting to watch the episodes in the order they aired, instead of as random offerings. Now, I want to watch the other two seasons and see if Spock is as emotive in those seasons, as the first.

I'll go you one better. Decided to be an election worker last November. Had a fully clad Capt. America (sans shield) come to vote. He wore, over his headgear, a 'Make America Great' red watch cap.
Live Long and Prosper! (Engage.)
