I think? I saw "Karate Kid" in 1984.

I know I saw "Howard the Duck" in 1986.

What about you?

It was either: -
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Bedknobs and Broomsticks

It would have been around 1971/72.

What is your next memory? Next movie?

That's pretty cool.

1956 - The Ten Commandments. It sparked an interest in ancient Egypt which continues to this day.

Jurassic Park

What did you think at the time? Was it scary?

Do you remember who else was with you at the theater?

Jurassic Park is pretty good.

Does it hold it up for you outside of nostalgia?

I saw it on my 10th birthday with my dad and my sister. It was awesome, kind of a magical experience. Parts of it were scary and it was definitely an edge of your seat movie for me back then.

I haven't seen it in almost ten years, but I think it holds up pretty good.

Really? 10 years.

You should go watch it.

It holds up.

Sesame Street "Follow that Bird" - I can still put on the dvd at 43 years old and enjoy it.

Billy Jack in 1972.

It must be one of Walt Disney.

My dad told me my family saw "Three Amigos! (1986)" in the theatre, but I don't remember it at all.
