Me too. Why I always look back fondly on it.
I'd say Jurassic Park, The Little Mermaid/Alladin/beauty and the beast as a kid, Independence Day, LOTR were some of the biggest.

The first one I remember seeing on the big screen was Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as a kid in the back of a station wagon at the drive in.
Those were the days when drive ins were very popular for big families and we would take pillows and blankets because we kids would always fall asleep ... although I rarely did because I loved movies even then.
Another one I remember seeing at the drive in, although I was a little older by then, was Old Yeller. We used to see a lot of Disney movies at the drive in.
On the big screen in a theater as a teenager ... I vividly remember seeing 2001 A Space Odyssey, Jungle Book and A Clockwork Orange, Easy Rider. Of course there were many others during my HS dating years in the 60s ... non of major consequence that I remember.
College years I remember seeing The Godfather, Deliverance, The Poseidon Adventure (man oh man I had a crush on Stella Stevens after that movie) and The Last House on The Left. The two I remember paying to see mutliple times on the big screen we're Jeremiah Johnson and The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Allie McGraw and what I remember most about that movie was the daughter of Archie Bunker showing her big tits in that movie. That was a big deal at the time. Sally Strothers I think was her name maybe? She had a massive set of tits. Saw The Cowboys with John Wayne and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean on the big screen while in college too. What I remember about Roy Bean was the shock of how old Ava Gardner had gotten because I always considered her the most beautiful woman in the world growing up ... and she was from just up the road in Smithfield, NC which made her seem more real to me at the time for some reason.
Saw Cool Hand Luke at the theater as well.
Later, the movies I genuinely consider epic, were Out of Africa, Sophie's Choice, Star Wars, The Deer Hunter, Indiana Jones, etc., at the Alvin C York theater at Fort Bragg. Saw the premier of First Blood there and Stallone was in attendance. LOL, just remembered ... saw Flashdance there as well, with my first wife. She insisted, they had Wives Night there once a week on Saturdays ... wasn't a bad movie.
Went years without seeing a movie at the theater after that because VHS videos had become popular and I was shipped to Italy but I did see The Deer Hunter in Italian .... Il Cacciatore is how they titled it.
Later it was Central America and I never saw a movie down there but when I finally got back to the land of round door knobs I think maybe it was Road House in Memphis over on Lamar Ave.
Haven't seen many movies at the theater over the past thirty years. Various Star Wars releases, The Matrix, just recently saw Venom. It's just different these days and waaaaaay too expensive.

Now the Goonies would have been interesting to see in theaters because it didn't become a classic til later.

Our Drive-In always seemed to get the lower tier films.
My Drive-In films:
Orca
People that Time Forgot
Corvette Summer
and my second viewing of Star Wars was at the end of its run at a Drive In.

I saw it at the theater and remember it being a pretty popular movie at the time. Maybe not iconic, but we were all pretty obsessed with it.

Star Wars (IV, V, and VI), Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Mr. Mom, Footloose, Ghostbusters, Karate Kid, etc. I grew up in the 80’s when movies were so good, you didn’t want to wait for it to come out on video.
And, it would take like a year and a half for the movie to make it to video, so if you wanted to see it and not have some jackass tell you all about it, you needed to go see it in the theatre.
