(2001) I started going to the theater in the late 1970s at a tender age when I should have been watching Disney, but obviously I didn't any movie dated before that I've seen later. Still a few titles missing though ..
holy crap hellbilly, how can you possibly remember all of that? there's no way i can remember all the films i've seen in the theater. i'd need to look at a list of every single theatrically released film starting in about '87, and even then i'm sure i'd miss a lot.
I can't do this, my parents brought me to the movies starting in 1979 or so, as a teenager me and my friends virtually lived in the theater. I would not know where to start and have probably forgotten more than I can remember. The first film I saw in a Drive-In was in Lake George, NY-Tentacles, that I can remember clearly. Went back to Lake George last summer and was glad to see a Drive-In theater has survived there. Sorry I can't participate more fully here.
I can't believe I remembered some of these.... E.T. Gremlins Fletch Pee Wee's Big Adventure Big Top Pee Wee Batman Batman Returns Batman Forever True Lies Rocky V Misery TMNT 1 TMNT 2 Back to the Future 2 Back to the Future 3 Dying Young The First Power Unforgiven The Hand that Rocks the Cradle A Very Brady Movie Tommy Boy Virtuosity Forget Paris The Lawnmower Man LOTR Trilogy NARC Unlawful Entry The Hard Way XMEN Gone in 60 Seconds Boyz in The Hood Terminator 2 Child's Play 2 Child's Play 3 Pet Semetary 2 Young Guns 2 Pulp Fiction Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 Scream Scream 2 The Dark Knight Singles Dances with Wolves Darkman Titanic Predator 2 Seven Traffic Candyman Forrest Gump Philadelphia Surviving the Game The Crow 12 Monkeys Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Sleepwalkers Hoop Dreams In the Mouth of Madness The Lost Boys Teen Wolf Too Die Hard 2 Die Hard 3 The Departed Goodfellas Casino The Chase Silence of the Lambs Hannibal Wayne's World Wayne's World 2 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Dracula Apollo 13 True Grit A Prophet The Hangover Leprechaun Billy Madison Alien 3 CB-4 The Hunt for Red October Judgment Night Out for Justice Under Siege Under Siege 2 Cape Fear A Few Good Men Home Alone A Walk in the Clouds Godfather 3 Private Parts Blair Witch Project Halloween Halloween 2 The Last of the Mohicans The Patriot Braveheart Flight of the Intruder Memphis Belle The Wizard
Hot Dog: The Movie Richard Pryor: Live on Sunset Richard Pryor: Here and Now Superman the movie Jaws 3D Zombi Cannibal Holocaust Terminator Cobra (left after opening scene due to friends) Poltergeist 3 (left halfway through cuz of friends) These are just the ones I recall sneaking into underage. Don't think I want to try and recall everything for 30 years or so.
I always had fond memories of going to the theater so it wasn't that hard to remember the movies. I did add 5 or 6 new titles since yesterday though.
I'm doped up on cold meds therefore I'm too lazy to list all the films I remember, but I definitely remember the first film I saw in theatres: Disney's "Song of the South", the much sought-after, politically incorrect, racist Disney film with Brare (sp?) Rabbit. It was re-released some time in the early-mid 80s.
Same, me and my buddy used to see at least two films a week, sometimes more, so there's no way in hell I could do this. And it'd probably be embarrassing too, as a teenager I was rabid about getting out of the house on the weekends, so I'd see whatever the hell was playing just to get out for a while. Did I pay to see shit like Barb Wire and Twister? Yes, yes I did
Even if I tried, I'm sure the list wouldn't be accurate. Plus when I was in college I used to go down to Chinatown (in NY) to watch double features of movies from Hong Kong. I'm sure I didn't know what half of them were called even then, let alone now...
If I listed every single film I ever saw at a theater I'd have to start my own site.I have had years where I saw theatrical films in the triple digits.Even last year,which was a slow one for me as I had some health issues crop up,I still saw at least 70 movies in the theater.I grew up going to the movies,first with my parents,then friends,then dates.I know a lot of people who never go anymore for one reason or another but that's just not me.It can be a pain sometimes but I still find something about going to the theater to be kind of magical.
yeah, there's that to consider as well. i wouldn't be able to show my face around here if people knew just how many times i paid to see titanic :nervous:
Everything I've seen in the last 4 years can be found in my "track the films you watch" posts. They will be the ones followed by a red upper case T. I really wish I could recall what movies I paid for back in the day. For each film I listed before, all except 2 or 3 (where we got in without tickets at all, love that backdoor at the old State theater) included a ticket to something else, rated PG. I hope I never supported Whoopi. It would be fun to have that info, but it's lost.:cry: Oh yeah, Superman was with my cousin and uncle, they paid for Superman. Jaws 3D was with mum, we had glasses so she must've paid for it.
I actually paid to see Bio-Dome(walked out though) and Ernest Scared Stupid, so you really have nothing to be ashamed of.
holy fuck, this is a perfect example of why i'd never be able to make a list like the ones above: your mention of bio-dome reminded me that once upon a time, i too paid for a pauley shore movie....jury duty. :eek2:
