Saw it in the theater when I was 12.

It’s one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen in the theater. Saving Private Ryan being the other.

Yes. The Searches is a good one too. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (or Hero both really great), The Fall (such an underrated stunning visual movie), one of the silent era like Birth of a Nation or Metropolis, 2001, North by Northwest, and Blade Runner. Jaws is a good one too. I was fortunate to see Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and all of the LOTR's in the theater.

I didn’t get to see the original release I wasn’t born yet. Somehow I thought this was released in the 70s when my parents took me to the theater to see it. I just googled it and was surprised to see 1962, I think my parents took me to see it in 79-ish. It must’ve been a re-release or just a film festival type thing. .

Was a blast as a kid, near the end of its run big movies would go into the dollar movie category and you could go to the theater and watch it over and over for a dollar a pop. I saw it way more than 20 times with my kid sister. Parents would drop us off at the theater and for four dollars you could see it four times back to back to back, we did this several times

parent took me and my brothers to see it opening night begrudgingly. i was a dinosaur freak as a kid and couldnt wait.

was a great experience and the folks wind up loving the movie. one of my favorite memories.

my pick would be original star wars. not that im the biggest starwars fans but just to see the crowd reaction to something so different.

When The Matrix came out, everyone was raving about it, but I never bothered to go see it.

I remember watching the first Matrix trailer at the Gateway PC store, as there was a promotion to hype their graphics card.

Seeing the Matrix in the theater was pretty unbelievable. When I built my first home theater system (5.1) in 2001, the lobby shootout scene was the first thing I put in the DVD player.

LOTR trilogy

Endgame - I hadn't really paid attention to MCU because I wasn't a comic book reader and was tired of previous comic movies just being rebooted with a new actor every few years. Ended up binging all the MCU stuff on Disney+ during covid and got hooked

My parents would bring me to R rated movies. So I saw predator, terminator and those movies even though I was young. They used to just cover my eyes for nudity.
But I regret not seeing the Lord of the Rings or first few Harry potter movies on theaters.
My first r rated was jaws 3d but I was too young to remember. I remeber aliens though.

I did. And seeing 2001 and Planet of the Apes in the same year (in the same theater), I couldn't help but become a science fiction nut.

Which movie you wish you would've seen in the theaters back in the day?
The original King Kong. With audiences that were new to special effects of any kind and didn't know the ending.

Alien (1979) came out two years before I was born and Aliens (1986) was when I was too young to see it so I would've liked to have been able to see those in theaters.
