What do you think about that movie now?
Kiki’s Delivery Service
That is a lucky draw. That’s a damn good movie!
Hehe yeah, I’d have to agree. Studio Ghibli films are really nice. I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.
Star Wars, drive-in, 1977. I was 4.
Does Empire count for mine even if I was still in utero?
No. It barely counts at 4.

Star Wars - the one where R2D2 gets zapped by Sand People and falls over with a comical thud.
Haven’t seen it for yonks, but enjoy it when I do.
If you were in the cinema in the 70’s, then it was just called Star Wars at the time. If you saw it in the 90’s or later, it was A New Hope.
A horror movie called It’s Alive. I was 5 years old. My mom would rent horror movies without checking the ratings and I’d watch them. Even after this I always loved horror and never had nightmares or anything. But, I rewatched It’s Alive a few years ago and it is definitely not for kids… But honestly the craziest thing my mom rented was The Toxic Avenger, when I was maybe 10. She never saw it herself it so still has no idea what she allowed me to watch at a young age!
You could say…

You got Troma-tised!
YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
The Abyss.
Still awesome now.
Possibly Fern Gully
Ronja Räubertochter
I’ve never even heard of this before. I’m definitely going to have to look it up
It’s a great movie, but watch the original, titled Ronja Rövardotter, instead of the German dubbed version:
Disney’s Cinderella was re-released in theaters in 80s, I’m pretty sure that’s the first one that formed a permanent memory. I’m not sure I’ve seen it from start to finish since then.
Ghost Busters, the possessed vacuum cleaner scene gave me nightmares lol
Bambi or An American Tale, probably. 1st one is okay. Feivel is still amazing.
An American Tale is the first movie I remember watching in the movie theater. And I feel in love with it. But I don’t think I’ve watched that movie in over 30 years. My kids and I will 100% be watching that this weekend.
The Empire Strikes Back, from the back seat of my parents’ car, at a drive-in.
Apparently I kept asking “who’s that? who’s that?” whenever anyone new came on screen. To be fair, though, ① I hadn’t seen Star Wars, and ② I was maybe three years old.
I think probably Star Wars. I still like it.
Empire Strikes back. Han Solo being carbonised, Luke skywalker hanging from bottom of cloud city. Just wow. Probably earlier ones but that was stamped on my brain.
Yeah, was 7.
Carbonite == Kryptonite at that age.
Had to cover my eyes for the freezing
Gigi. Absolutely fucking horrified when I watched it as an adult. “Thank heavens for leetle girls.” Yikes. It’s all about a courtesan (high class prostitute) bringing up her daughter to also be a courtesan. Happy ending: she gets married!! Phew!
Actually my first movie might have been a Shirley Temple one. I remember her singing Good Ship Lollipop on a plane with a lot of grown men. At some point her mother got run over - they didn’t show the accident but she was carrying Shirley’s birthday cake, with a plane on it, and you saw the cake crashing to the ground and the plane smashed up. I haven’t seen it since so I have no idea what was going on.
I’m really old btw. All us kids used to go to the pictures every Saturday morning. First up were cartoons, then maybe a serial (Tarzan), then an interval, then the main feature.
The Cat From Outer Space. I was very young at the time, I only remember little wisps of it.
And yes, it is terribad.
