TV and Movies

The first movie I remember going to see in a theater was The Snow Queen! My dad took the three of us. It was in the early 1960's. I loved it and always remember it!

We often went to the drive-in with my parents but all I remember there was wearing our pajamas,  getting on the swings, eating food from the snack bar and falling asleep on the platform bed my dad made to fit the back seat of his 1957 Chevy for us! Wow! Nice memories!🤗

Me too.  I think it was at a drive-in.

We seldom went to the movies.  I remember going to see Dr. Doolittle (the origingal with Rex Harrison, not the Eddie Murphy one) with my aunt and cousins. We went to a real movie theater for that one.  I remember we got all dressed up for it.

The first movie I remember seeing was Them!  I was 4 or 5 years old and I probably slept through most of it but remember seeing those giant ants in the tunnel.   In addition to being a big Hitchcock fan, my mother also loved sci-fi!!!

Have to admit that unlike many posting here, I didn't see a Disney movie until Pollyanna and by then I was almost a teenager!!!

My mother wasn't the best at choosing first movies.  Mine was Bambi.  I cried hysterically.  My sister's was Little Women.  She announced -- loudly -- "If Beth dies -- I'm leaving."   Beth died -- and off they went!

I remember taking our son to Disney's Cat movie.  Name escapes me now, but also to 101 Dalmations.  Remember Bambi too.  How about Lady and the Tramp.  I think that may have been a first for me.  Or, Peter Pan.  Thank Heavens for Disney.

A theater Re-release of Fantasia with my 4-yr old son.  i had seen this on another occasion also on the big screen . i loved it and thought he would too!   

he would not sit still for even 5 minutes.  we had to leave because he was playing and jumping on the seats. it was a matinee and there were a few others on the audience.

Old Yeller.  Scarred me for life.  Anyone I have ever asked who saw this when they were little told me confidently that they shot the dog and the movie ended.  The dog died and that was all and we went home.

Yep, that's what I remember.

My father took me to see Sleeping Beauty, he passed away when I was 8 years old so that was a very special memory for me.

The first movie I recall seeing was not in a movie theater or at a drive in but at a local grammar school where they would show kids/Disney movies in their auditorium. Dumbo is the first movie that I saw there. 

The first drive in movie that my parents took me to was The Three Lives of Thomasina.
