Babes in Toyland. Or a beach party movie, or an Elvis movie. Early 60s anyway.

an Audie Murphy Western.
The first movie I remember seeing in a theater was a bad choice. I was around 6. Our mom would dump all 3 of us at a movie theater whenever she didn't want us around. We saw "The Pit & The Pendulum, "Ben Hur," etc. She didn't care what was playing.
Then, she'd yell at us when we had nightmares & couldn't sleep.
She was mean & not very bright.

This film came out in 1954, so it was probably 1955 when I saw it at the Webster Theater in Rochester, NY.
Either one, the big theme is Death.........

The first one I saw was Old Yeller. I think I was in Kindergarten. Didn't think the main character 'showing he'd become a man' by shooting his dog was suitable.
The next one was The Shaggy Dog- liked that one much more.

Bambi. And my baby sister cried a lot, not because Bambi's mom got shot (oops, spoiler...sorry) but just because she was cranky. Me and my brothers were so annoyed. Even so, we took turns holding her and entertaining her. Ruined the plot-continuity, but dad made everything ok - li'l Bonnie fell asleep before the 1st showing ended, and dad let us stay for the entire second showing! Simultaneous Bonus: stayed up way past our bedtime and shared a second tub of popcorn!

Wait....that was at a Drive-In.
I'm fairly certain the first movie I ever saw in a theater was Goldfinger.

Six after winning the weekly primary class reward. On a huge entertainment boat anchored at the Pier. It showed two Disney films every Saturday. It was sponsoring primary and secondary school in the three main cities. To this day cannot watch Bambi!
Seven! Papa and Gramps had a mutual friend working at the local cinema. I got to watch "Lady Whirlwind" a 60s karate, judo, Jujitsu & taekwondo subtitled. This was a regular cinema.... Yup, I was way under age but those Chinese Kung Fu films were great memories on summer's Wednesdays.

Don't remember the first, but the most memorable was Doctor Zhivago. Have never watched it again. I don't want to ruin the memory since I'm sure it wouldn't live up to it.

I saw Peter Pan with my older sisters and my mom in 1969. At the time I thought it was brand new, but now I know it was a re-release.
