Probably Charlotte's Web at the Robert E Lee, or maybe Westworld or Live and Let Die.

Batman Forever in I believe Elmwood before it was the Palace is the first one that comes to mind, but I'm sure I saw movies in the theaters before then that I don't remember.

ETA: just saw the guy above me posted Batman Forever too. That's strange.

Empire strikes back in Bon Marche was the first I remember what and where.

I remember seeing Pinocchio that must have been re released in the mid 70’s, The Villain, and Star Wars but can’t remember where I saw those. Most likely old Pasqua Theater in Gonzales or Bon Marche.

Probably one of Pinocchio, Dumbo, or Peter Pan, when they replayed them in the theater in downtown Natchez. Although I do remember sleeping through a replay of Gone With the Wind there too. That was most likely the first one I was in the building for.

We had to quit going to that theater, because the NAACP started having protests in that part of town in the mid 60's. We started back going to movies when they opened a modern, multi-screen theater across from Jeff Davis Memorial hospital, at the foot of the bridge.

We lived in Vidalia, and my dad worked at the IP mill. The only other times we went to Natchez after the protests, was to get Kentucky Fried Chicken on Sunday's after church, and to shop at a Gibson's store. Always got suede cowboy boots from there for my birthday.

I vaguely remember seeing Bonnie and Clyde at the DIXIE theater in Ruston. I was only 4 but I guess it made a pretty big impression on me. I only really remember the opening cartoons.

The movie I remember most was True Grit. My dad took me to see it somewhere in Shreveport. He had taken my brother fishing the weekend before and took me to the theater the following weekend.

One of the few things that just my dad and I did.
