Star Wars phantom menace. I was ten but that's the first one I remember. Our theatre only had two screens and we rarely went

Raiders of the Lost Ark at the Robert E. Lee theater on Plank Road. It must have been a second run of the movie because it originally came out a year before I was born. It had to have been 85 or 86 when I saw it though.

I saw The Lost World as well when I was 5 and living in Mendoza. That's my first ever memory of being in a theatre.

Going to Broadmoor Theater and the Nazi money taker. She was a staple in the BR area until it closed.

Two possibilities. I saw High Noon with my Dad back in the mid-50s; I was 4 or 5. An aunt took me to see a re-release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (I thought the word was Warts) back then also, not sure which was first.

The Return of the Pink Panther - 5 or 6

ETA...just remembered one earlier...Disney's Robin Hood. I was 3 or 4. I begged my mom to sew me a Robin Hood outfit and I ran around shooting things in the yard with a bow and arrow for weeks after that.

Mine was 101 Dalmatians. I think I was 4. Was a school field trip. At too much sugar. My mom had to come get me I was so hyper.

Short Circuit, I was 6.

That movie probably had something to do with me becoming an engineer.

Double feature when I was about turning 4 years old.

Watched nightmare before Christmas and was scared a stuck.

Then my parents wanted to see Jurassic park. I remember sitting in my seat with my hands over my eyes.

Can't remember which was first because I was a tyke and Superman was in the theater for almost a year.

Can't believe my parents took me to see Alien.

Lived in Vidalia until 1968 and used to go to the theater in downtown Natchez. I remember going to see Gone With the Wind there before I was in school. I think they might have shown it every year during pilgrimage. It was a big deal hearing Rhett say "Damn". My favorite line from it, and something we'd say as kids when we needed to hurry, was Big Sam's "Horse make tracks!"

Also remember going when they'd show old stuff like Pinocchio, Peter Pan and Cinderella. The Jungle Book (1967) may have been the first movie I saw in it's first run. It was awesome and we sang The Bare Necessities song a bunch afterwards. They may have built the "New" theater at the mall by then.

My dad took me to a little local one-screen theater in Gonzales to see some of the original Planet of the Ape movies- so somewhere around 1968 or 1970. Those durn, dirty apes freaked me out pretty good. I was around 5 or 6.
