Midway - somewhere in Lincoln, NE. We were in Lincoln while my grandpa was getting cancer treatment. Surround sound, I remember diving under the seat during that kamikaze scene.

Alien

My parents took me into it not knowing how scary it would be - I watched it through my mothers hand over my eyes.

Also remember Star Wars pretty well.

Your parents didn't know how scary a sci-fi horror movie that's rated R would be?

Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 at the old theater in Covington that's currently Movie Tavern. I was 6 years old.

But I do also remember my dad dragging me with him to see Star Trek 5 the Final Frontier at the cheap theater in Mandeville right next to the DMV. Both came out that year.

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. Both would have been at the Don Theater in Shreveport.

Superman 2. Not sure what theater, but it would have been somewhere in New Orleans. We were back in town from Dubai, visiting family. It was a rare treat to be able to go to an American movie theater to watch an American movie.

Some movie about a bear. Late seventies, early 80s. Anyone know what that might be? Can't remember the name or the plot. Just remember there was a bear. Not animated.
