Howard The Duck (1986).
I remember where we sat, on the left side of the theater.
Yes...Drive in's are theaters:
I also vividly remember my mom covering my eyes in the hot tub scene with Lea Thompson.
I can't remember my first movie but I do remember my first rated R movie. "Used Cars" 1980.
shareBen-Hur and The 7th Voyage of Simbad.
It wasn't the original release, but a summer cinema with old movies in the town square organized by the city hall.
Lili, a 1953 Leslie Caron movie, that I would have seen around 1965 when I was 5 or 6 years old. In NYC there were many revival theaters showing older films in those pre-video days.
My outstanding memory is that it was the start of me being a big weeper at movies.
Is that the movie where they sang "the night they invented champagne?"
shareThat was Gigi, also Leslie Caron - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9J6G_rdSDI
She was 5 years younger in Lili, if you can believe it. She is currently 88 years old.
I watched Father Goose (1964) with Leslie Caron more times than I can count as a child. I blame that film on my love of boats and drinking.
share“The Wizard of OZ” back in ‘52 I think.
shareThe first movie was with my dad at a downtown Las Vegas theater. I think it was "The dirty dozen" And I think I was seven years old.
shareCasper - 1995.
I sat next to my grandmother, who was cold the entire movie. I remember my brother eating popcorn and being SO into the film. My sweet little family shared lots of laughs that day. Its fun to think about and remember how happy my mother looked.
All Dogs Go To Heaven in 1989.
shareThe Fox and the Hound 1981
I remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back at the drive in in 1980 but I don't remember what was playing with it. My parents used to have sleeping backs for us in the back of the station wagon so I probably slept through it.
Drive-ins and station wagons. You couldn't have one without the other!!
