The first movie you can recall your parents taking you to.

I still have fleeting memories of ET and Return of the Jedi in the theater. I would have been 5 around that time. ET scared the crap out of me.

interesting a few others have also mentioned ET.

     *My Grandmother took me to the show when I was still small to see Vincent Price in House on Haunted Hill! OH, what fun! I've loooved Vincent Price ever since! 

Great movie! I have a 50 pack of Vincent Price movies on dvd. Good stuff.

Star Wars A New Hope.  I would have been around 6 at the time.  The next movie I remember going to was Grease.  We didn't go to the movies that often growing up and I still don't to this day even though I actually enjoy being there once I'm there.

Double Feature.

Dr. No, and Day of the Triffids

[Skypilot]

I remember my uncle taking me to Back to the Future II. Probably not my first movie but the one I remember clearly. 

[Skypilot]

The first movie I took my son to was the LEGO movie. I still chuckle when I think about him eating Junior Mints for the first time. He never stopped watching the movie but would blow out of his mouth like he was trying to cool it off.

ET I was 4. It was an old movie theater. There were large wooden pillars blocking my view. I had to put my head in my dads lap to see it. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Not the first they took me to, I’m certain, but the first that I really remember: Diary of a Mad Housewife. 

I was about 11. Unbeknownst to me, my parents were at the beginning stages of their divorce. This is by most measures, a very strange movie to take your 11 year old to....but I do recall thinking the motorcycle crash scene was pretty cool. 

This alone may explain why I’m not like the other kids ?

Dad took me to see Top Gun. That giant 2-screen movie theater was knocked down and is a Krispy Kreme surrounded by an unusually large parking lot now.

Empire Strikes Back. 

Ace.

1st movie was at the drive in.....I do not remember the name of it, but I will tell you what I remember about it....it was a horror film, I remember two guys tied another guy to the back of a car, and they would drive around town and bash his brains in.......also there was a green witch or something, or a woman with a green head.

 

Next movie I can remember seeing in the theater my mom took me to see Animal House, I was 10, and I just remember the Belushi scene where he's on the ladder watching the girl undress.......WOWZA!!!!

[joeypots]

I think Doctor Zhivago when I was about 7. I have a vague memory of the trains. I watched it a few years ago, Julie Cristie, well..........And there is no such thing as a bad David Lean movie.

The one I really remember was No Way To Treat a Lady. At the Wellfleet Drive-In when I was about 10. I'm getting old.

Born in 1980, and lucked out in being taken to 'Batteries Not Included'.     1980's was a golden era for kids films, and this was one of the best.   Saw it in an old deco inspired cinema (long closed) on Deansgate, Manchester.     Great first experience.

Superman (1979, when it came out in Istanbul). My dad took me to it. Still one of the best memories of my childhood. And to this day one of my all time favourite movies.

I still remember having to rush back to the theatre after the movie as my dad forgotten his umbrella there.

I think I only went once to the theatre with my parents. I can't remember what the movie was.  Only that it was an Italian movie and afterwards an Italian crooner did a 90 minute set.  I do remember my first movie(s). It was a double feature B-Movie matinee.  The Bloodwaters of Dr Z and the original Gone in 60 Seconds.  My oldest brother took me. He was a movie nut and took me along to all the big blockbusters of the 70's.  He even snuck me into Alien which was rated R at the time.  You had to be 18 to enter. I was 10.

Can't remember what I had for dinner last night, no way in hell I can remember first movie! Lol

[topdiesel]

First movie with both parents:

Empire Strikes Back

First movie with just Dad:

Octopussy

[SigmundChurchill]

When I was about 5 (1974), my parents took me to see Bambi at the drive in theater.  I have vague memories of that.

A couple of years later, a whole bunch of movies that are now classics came out.  Star Wars, Rocky, Jaws, Grease, Animal House, Saturday Night Fever, etc.  I got to see most of those with friends.  To me, that was the golden age of movies.

When I was just 6 years old, Michael Keaton’s first Batman in June 1989. Nightmares. Thought Batman was the demonic bad guy. Then quickly became obsessed with him. 

One month after, Timothy Dalton’s license to kill. Fell asleep and then woke up during the helicopter chase scene. 007 and Batman remain my favorite fictitious characters to this day. 

[BuzzArd]

First they took the family to that i can remember was a drive in double feature at the Sarasota Bradenton Airport drive in, now long gone.  Drove there in a 1970 Olds cutlass Holiday Coupe.  I was 9 years old.  

The Bad News Bears might have been before it, but I can’t recall.  Both left lasting memories.

Mom took me to see Flash Gordon in  1980. I was four and I remember being a bit freaked out by it, especially the scene where Flash and another guy take turns sticking their arms in holes in a big rock or something to see if a creature will bite it. 

Oh man I remember that scene. Ugh that one stuck with me too.  Or when the guy with the metal mask and cloak gets thrown onto the spikes and his eyes and tongue just ooze outta his skull hahaha 

[Homebrew]

My first movie, in a theatre, was a Disney flick called "Song of the South."
