What nostalgic movie do you remember going to the theater to watch when you were a kid?

I remember going to the theater to watch the first X-Men movie that came out, it was awesome seeing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine

Side Note: You know what, come to think of it, Wolverine's abilities aren't that powerful compared to the abilities that many other mutants possess and still yet he is arguably the most popular X-Men character. The thing that makes a character popular isn't their powers but how their character is displayed.

Lord of the Rings: The fellowship of the ring. I still binge the trilogy almost every year lol.

[MaxFF]

I think probably the first movie I can clearly remember seeing in theater is the first Sam Raimi Spiderman movie. And I still love it. Has some fantastic moments, like new yorkers throwing garbage at the green goblin.

All I know is that the first movie I saw in theaters was the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. I was in the forth grade and I'm not really nostalgic for it

Robocop. That was before they had a movie rating system, so my parents took the 6 year-old me in to see it. When Murphy got riddled through with a crap-ton of bullets at the start of the movie, I lost my shit and screamed/cried. My parents had to remove me from the theater until I calmed down--which took a while.

googles it Yup, it is rated R now.

LotR Two Towers. Was more of a teen at this point, but I haven't went to cinema a lot. And for LotR I skipped lessons with my friend (which I never did, that's how you know it's special), so we could go to the cinema. We sat at the front row and I still have Gandalf and Balrog fall engraved on my retina

[AmazementComics]

Yes! I love this response!

I think for me, my earliest nostalgic movie screening was watching Spider-Man 3. I was too young to remember Spider-Man 1 & 2. Although I’ve watched both several times over now.

I also remember seeing TMNT back in 2007 and going to target later that day and getting the game for my Gamecube. Good good memories.

[ThunderChicken]

OK, I'm old.

Smokey and the Bandit and Convoy. It was a double feature at the Sackville Drive In Theatre, and my father sneaked my sister and I in by covering us with blankets and having us lie down in the back of his shiny new 1978 Dodge Ramcharger. I would have been six years old, my sister five. My two older brothers (nine and twelve years old) jumped the fence and joined us once we were inside.

[ThunderChicken]

I don't think I've seen the full trilogy because I have ADHD and can't sit long enough to... SQUIRREL!!!

But I do re-read the Hobbit and the LOTR books at least once every other year. Aside from writing and drawing, reading is one of the few things that will get my attention and hold it.

[powerplantanimations]

Anything Pixar.

@Wingstoflyy His bones are coated in adamantium (the most indestructible substance) and he has a healing factor exactly like Deadpool's (meaning he can't die... except in Logan where he was taken out by his son-clone thingy). He's also canonically 200 years old in the films. Sorry, useless information, but I had to hop in here lmao.

[NickRowler]

I remember my family going to the theater twice to see the original Lion King. It might have been the first movie I watched in theaters.

[Shanny8]

Superman: the Movie
The Empire Strikes Back
Batman(Michael Keaton)

Saw Superman when I was like 5 or 6. Surprised now that I look back that I sat through that whole movie and didnt even go to the bathroom...LOL

Saw the Empire Strikes back when I was 8- man I nearly died when Luke's hand got cut off...I remember being sad coz it felt like the bad guys won even though they got away.

Saw Batman when I was 16- at that time I was in my "the Batman TV show with Adam West was corny as fuck", so this movie blew my mind.

[abigaillmartin]

When I was 7 years old I saw Tangled in the theaters and I loved it. And then Frozen came along and I was eh about it.

I also remember seeing Monsters vs. Aliens in the theater and especially Hotel Transylvania

I didn’t go to the theater a lot as a kid because we didn’t have a lot of money so it was a family with my cousins big event thing so that’s what made it special.

[Mallory]

Star Wars: A Phantom Menace. I was 7, my uncle took me into town to see it.

I know that movie gets a lot of flack, and a lot of it (dialogue especially) is justified, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of it as a 7-year-old. It had a cute boy my age in it, a princess I could pretend to be, jaw-dropping sci-fi scenery (the CGI back then definitely didn't look real, but I loved the slightly not-real look because, IDK, it made it more magical. I think it had the same effect on my uncle, who eventually got a doctorate in 3D imaging... Still remember him bringing goodies from CGI conventions, including Star Wars prequel behind-the-scenes stuff). A lot of people say the conflict in Phantom Menace was boring for kids, but I understood the basics and loved it (which is probably why I have a soft spot for political sci-fi to this day). Disputes over trade sounded like a very realistic grown-up problem.

I got all of the kids on my entire block to re-enact a "new and improved" version of the movie the next day.

[abigaillmartin]

Awwww that’s so cute! I can just imagine how fun it was the day after when all the kids were playing scenes from the movie the next day.

[abigaillmartin]

That one came out in 1999 so yeah I wasn’t even born yet! I like hearing these things. ️

[GothickangelStudios]

Alot of movies I watched in the 80s and early 90s were basic ratings are now rated 18 or set to M.
I remember when many were either G or PG.

[Iris-Grimoire]

The fourth Pokémon movie. The movie itself wasn't a whole lot, but I treasure the event that it was for me and a few friends.

[ButterflyEmpress]

I've pretty much seen most of the TV movies ie: Hey Arnold, Pokemon 1-3, Recess, PowerPuff Girls, etc.

We did see a few Superhero movies. I was so mad I fell asleep during the SpiderMan movies because my sister wouldn't stop talking about how cool and scary the Green Goblin was. And I thought Doc Octopus was cool, but never got to see him fight.

I remember seeing an X-Men movie too, but I don't know if it's the same one you're talking about since I'm not too familiar with the characters outside of Storm and Wolverine. IIRC The movie ended with them flying away on a ship as the land starting sinking underwater. One of the women got left behind and died. I used to believe that actors actually killed themselves if their character dies in a movie.

[Lensing]

Asterix, it was 1985 and I was 10.
Police academy, I don´t remember which part, but it was 1989 and it was a
typical movie for teenagers. The humor is really bad but I loved it
