The BEST movie theater experience you had growing up. (THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE)

Not even close --
Empire Strikes Back at Plaza Plitt at the Twin City Mall in Monroe. I don't think there will ever be another experience like this again.
Couldn't sleep the night before; it was like Christmas, my birthday and the last day of school all happening at the same time.
Got in line at 6am; the line already snaked around the mall to Selber Brothers and hoooooooly shite when that line started to move I about peed my pants.
I can't imagine anything like that these days. The magic is gone.
What's your best movie experience growing up?

I got a handy from a chick in a movie theater once, that was pretty cool.

I've never been a big movie theater guy, so this will sound lame, but I guess it would be when a bunch of my friends and I got together and went to see Independence Day. That shite made us want to go directly to the recruiting station after the movie and enlist. 
One day when my old man isn't here anymore, I guess the times we went to see movies together will become paramount. The main ones I remember us seeing together were Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, Apollo 13, and Star Trek First Contact.

Close second has to be Infinity War in Imax Tuscaloosa

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. i watched the cartoon but had no idea there was a movie coming out. we didn't have cable and i only watched news with my parents and cartoons with bunny ears on saturday morning till i was about 10.
had no concept whatsoever that it was about to be a movie and then my dad took me after school one day as a surprise. we didn't go to movies a bunch but he went all out with the popcorn, cokes refills, and candy and then took me to whataburger afterwards.
probably my fondest memory of the man to be honest.

Jurassic Park as a 3rd grader. Scared the shite out of me but was so awesome.

Grandmother taking me to see Raiders Of The Lost Ark when I went to spend a couple of weeks with my grandparents in the summer.

Return of the Jedi.
I had been pumped for weeks to see this when I was a little kid. On opening day we drove by the theatre on the way to elementary school and there was already a line around the block. This was before multiplexes so it was only playing at a few movie theatres and only on one screen. When I saw that line I was devastated and thought I would never get to see the movie. Little did I know my dad was one of the people standing in that giant line. He had gotten up at the crack of dawn to get tickets. When I got home he had a big surprise for me and I got to see the movie on opening day. And I was the perfect age to appreciate ROTJ, which was more geared towards kids.

Same. Probably same age as well.
I still remember being scared as shite during this scene. Pretty sure it was my first experience with legit surround sound. You could almost feel the vibrations.

as an ETA to my story, when we got out of the first showing that morning the line was halfway around the mall
i remember thinking most of those people were going to be there all day.

i was that age as well when it came out and i was really excited to see it, but hadn't seen any scary movies up to that point so i made my dad leave. then he came back and i just left during the raptor parts.
in hind sight, i was a giant pussy, but i didn't watch many PG-13 movies or anything "scary" before that really. sheltered childhood.

Took a Kappa from LSU to see the Last Emperor one afternoon.
Too this day I could not tell you what the movie was about....but I can still describe much of the details of that afternoon.
There are times that I miss that

1989 Batman with my mom. I remember waiting in line and all the people with the black t-shirts with the new Batman logo on them. I was 7 and thought it was so cool I got to stay up late and go to the theater for this movie

This is one of my funniest memories about my grandmother. In 1989 she took me to see Batman (Michael Keaton). She kept falling asleep and would start snoring. I'd had to keep nudging her to keep her awake. She had zero interest in the movie, obviously, but was still willing to take me to see it.

Interstellar baked out of my mind was a pretty good one
