I think I was 13 and my dad took me to see RoboCop. I remember after him telling me to not tell my mom to many details. We both loved the movie

The Longest Day
At a drive-in
In the pouring rain

It’s the longest movie I never saw - seems like we were there forever.

(Sorry, Daddy. Love & miss you!)

Spaceballs

Funny as hell but incredibly vulgar for a PG movie considering how old we were.

A few years after that would be Total Recall, which was my first R rated movie in the theater IIRC.


Not counted - Me getting dropped off to see Natural Born Killers, underage, without them buying the ticket for me. Thankfully they sold me the ticket instead of forcing me to buy one for In The Army Now and theater hop.

King Kong. Jessica Lange's boobs made an entirely unexpected appearance.

"The Poseidon Adventure" (December '72) Robert E. Lee Theater, NOLA

"The Great Waldo Pepper" premiere at the Downtown Joy Theater in NOLA (Spring of '75)

"Jeremiah Johnson" (also December '72) Downtown Joy Theater, NOLA

This movie was famous for giving the interweb this gif gem:



Once I got my driver's license in '76, I hardly went to the movies with them again.

Scarface at the Twin City Mall in Monroe. I was 10 and my brother was 13. After about the first 10 minutes, my dad gave us $20 a piece and told us to go hang out in the mall until the movie was over.

That same year, my religious grandmother took me and my brother to see the original Vacation with Chevy Chase. Very awkward moment when Clark lost it in the car when the rest of the family wanted to go home.

Jaws. When the head popped out that hole in boat underwater, my Mom jumped and spilled Coke all over my Dad! Lol

Kramer vs. Kramer. Strange choice of films to take a 7 year old boy to. But I think it was the first time I saw tits so that was cool.

My dad took me to see Poltergeist when I was 3. I was terrified of the tree outside my window for years.

I was older than 3 but I watched that movie pretty young too. The Exorcist too but neither in the theater.

Yeah, we had HBO so I was exposed to that one around the same age. The tree didn’t get me nearly as much as the scientist hallucinating in the kitchen and bathroom.

Whenever my sister wanted the TV to herself, she would say she was putting Poltergeist in the VCR to make me disappear.

my parents rarely took us to movies. but, i had a sister who was a lot older. her and her husband brought us to several movies that were definitely not age appropriate.

Sweet Georgia/Country hooker. Chain gang women are 2 i remember quite well.
