First Movie You Watched at a Theater

Best cinematic experience ever was T2 though. Don’t think that’ll ever be topped

Pacific Rim tbh

I think mine was probably Batman in 89, seeing the logo was just awesome.

Same. It was probably the best time I ever had watching a movie in a theater. I'd probably put Star Wars up there but I really don't remember being blown away like I was in T2.

Jurassic Park was my first “mind blown” theater experience.

Personal favorite theater moment is the collective gasp of shock by all 300-something people seeing the elevator doors open and Leo Dicaprio’s brains get blown out in The Departed.

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle when the gets smacked. Crowd went wild.

I only remember two instances of the whole crowd cheering. One was a movie called Black Stallion. The other was Rocky II.

I may have seen others first but the one that I remember was McKennas Gold. Julie Newmar flashing some boob was a big deal back then

I can agree with this. I remember standing in line at the local theater. We got there half an hour early and the line was already out the door. When they see the dinosaurs for the first time with that score blaring...man what a ing moment.

Jetsons: The Movie then Home Alone

Previously posted first two but the third one for which I was dropped off alone in 66 probably at the age of 13 or 14 was "Million Years B.C. which was not much of a movie but Raquel Welch left an impression.

sadly did not get the jurassic park experience in theaters

toy story was technically quite groundbreaking. first pixar film, first fully computer animated film, etc. but i wasnt old enough to really appreciate any of that

seeing avatar in imax 3D was a pretty big "mind blown" experience from a purely visual perspective. i'm aware the story is very played out (dances with wolves/pocahontas in space, etc)... but still remember being infatuated with that movie just because of the visuals/environment

bene gave a nod to pacific rim. one of the more under-appreciated sci-fi/kaiju flicks of all time tbh. the sequel sucked tho

That was the first Chrichton book I read. Then I probably read 6 or 7 more in a row. The movie wasn't bad but I'd have to say not one of the movies was better than the book it was based off of.

As generic as the story was, Avatar is still the greatest 3D experience I've ever had in a theater. And yeah, Pacific Rim 2...Jhn Byega...I just saw he's trying to act like he's Denzel in the new movie he is in. Hey John guess what? Denzel doesn't have to act like anyone else because he's himself. Who are you now?
