My first movie experience was at a drive-in theatre in 1973 in Virginia Beach. It was a double bill...MASH and Young Frankenstein. I was 7 years old.

I remember my first indoor movie theatre experience was Rocky in 1976.

How about you guys and gals?
 

I remember one called The Screaming Skull, a horror pic.
lt was just my mom and me in 1958. I would have been 3
and she, 22. I guess she figured I'd sleep through it in the
darkness. I may well have done so but I found the film
recently online. I've only watched a potion of it so far.
 
I can't remember what that would be. I saw a lot of Disney feature length cartoon classics, and I remember my parent's making a big deal about taking me to see a couple of them. It was probably one of those.
 
I was around five and went with my brother to see a movie about The Three Stooges in space. We still had a movie house in the next town back then. Sixty-four years later they don't even have a grocery store there anymore.
 
Hatari is the first one I remember going to. I remember a friend of my Dad was a Jeep dealer and they had promotional tickets for it. I remember the outsized pass was about the size of a bumper sticker.
 
The Wizard Of Oz in 1955. I was 9. The flying monkeys scared the hell out of me, and I had nightmares for a few nights. My Mum later said she made a mistake taking me to see that movie. JImB.
 
I went to visit my Grandmother in Dallas, we rode a bus downtown to see The Grapes of Wrath at the Majestic theater.
 
I just remembered.. the first film I ever saw in the Cinema was not 1 million years BC.. but HELP.. with the Beatles. We were taken to see it as children by the ''aunties'' in the children's' home we were in.. it was for them to see it and not us.. that would be about 1965
 
I don't remember the first but I do remember Saturday matinees with the Three Stooges and Rocket Man. Admission was 12 cents. My mother gave me 15 cents and I would go across the street for 3 cents worth of candy.
 
The Sound of Music at the cinema I saw it 8 times lol .... .but went to saturday morning pictures and saw lots of charlie chaplin films
 
My Dad liked westerns, so he took me to see "Once Upon A Time In The West." I was only about 7 or 8. I was more interested in how big everything was and I thought it was cool to sit and watch a movie while eating popcorn and drinking root beer. When the movie was over, my Dad asked me if I liked it and of course I said yes. He asked me if I wanted to sit through it again. I told him only if he wanted to, so we did. The usher was the son of my dad's best friend, so he didn't make us leave. That was a good memory I have with my dad because after the movie was over, he took me to a restaurant for dinner and I was impressed with eating in a fancy restaurant with a napkin on my lap and the waitress was very nice to us and then we had sundaes for dessert. I even remember ordering a pork chop for my dinner. My dad had some kind of beef or steak. The food was really good. My mom stayed home and she called it a father-son day.
 
I was very little, and I'm fairy certain the movie was Cinderella. My older sisters would have been around
6 yrs. old, and 12 yrs. old.
 
Can't recall the exact movie but I'm sure back then it was on a Saturday and was a cowboy double feature......mom would fix my popcorn at home and I'd carry it in in a greasy (was actually butter) brown paper sack.
