The Best Time You Ever Had At The Movies?

[dlemond]

What was the best time you ever had going to the movies?

What movie was it and what made it such a good time for you?

[Janice]

It was around 1980 and drive-in theaters were still popular. I don't recall the movie, but I remember I had a lot of fun. ;)

Lol. I knew someone was going to have a story like that. With no drive ins around much anymore, you gotta be brave to "have a lot of fun" nowadays.

thats what earlier shows that not many people go to are for!

i think we saw saving private ryan..but honestly i dont remember much of it :lol:
then there was beauty and the beast last spring...(only somehow it was an appropriate movie for that relationship :rolleyes: )


and a diff kind of good time was when me and a bunch of my friends cried our way through "return to me"

Drive ins were cool . There used to be one right in my town but they got rid of it. I remember seeing Jaws at one when I was about 4 years old. I don't go out to the movies that much anymore because it's so expensive.

Me either. If I do go, we try to catch the late late shows (11PM or so) when nobody's around. Best movie teather I've been to: the one at CityWalk in Orlando. We got stranded in Florida due to a snowstorm on a school trip. It was only $5.50 for the ticket!! What a deal (here, it costs around 11 just for ADMISSION!!) We saw Catch Me If You Can at like 2PM on a weekday, and there were aobut 8 of us total in this huge stadium seating theater. Definitly a good experience.

The first time I saw Titanic. Nothing actually happened during the movie (hey, I was 11 - what could've happened? ;) ), but I just thought the movie was really, really good.

[::~Sweet Carolyn~::]

I went to see Down With Love a few weeks before the movie was out and it wasn't even the final cut so it was really cool to see a movie like that. I also loved going to see Sweet Home Alabama the night it came out and umm, YaYa Sisterhood the 10th time I saw it gave me a good feeling. :lol:

I'll skip telling you about the the teenage years and beyond. Instead I'll jump back to a movie experience I had when I was 8. My 4' 10" grandma, who was your classic 'little old lady with a sweet but cantankerous personality, took me to the movies. It was just she and me, which was special in itself. We went into the movie theatre awhile before the movie was scheduled to start. No matter though to Grandma that there was nothing to see yet on the screen. When anyone stepped in front of our view of the blank screen Grandma would mutter to herself and then stand up and shout to whoever was in the way, "Sit down!" Then she'd sit back down and gloat as if she'd stopped a robbery from happening or something. I was too young to be embarrassed by her. I was more like amazed that she had such guts. But the real kicker here is the movie she took me to see. It was an Al Capone style gangster flick with lots of bloody murder. I was pretty much scared asterickless, lol. I haven't stopped laughing to this day that my Grandma didn't bat an eye about taking an 8 year old to a movie that today would be rated 'R' I don't think she actually knew what movie we were going into. I think it was just her mission to take her grandboy to the movies and she got tired of walking when we got to that particular theatre on Main Street.

Two occasions. The first was when my cousins took my sister and I to see "American Pie 2" late at night. There was almost a full crowd. I swear, everybody was laughing. It is very hard to get me to laugh at something in the movies or in television but this movie was totally funny. Unfortunately, like every joke and comedy, it wasn't as funny the second time I saw it.

The other happened to be last summer. Those same cousins took two of my sisters and I to see "Signs." That was such a cool movie to watch in theaters. There were several times when people, including my sister at one point, screamed in fright during some parts. I don't think that happens too much. Great time.

Casper and The Flintstones, both when I was 9 in 1994. I REALLY loved those two movies. :D

Oh, yeah, I forgot about The Babysitters Club Movie. I LOVED the BSC books and I died when it came out to theatres - I went and saw it and LOVED it. Now, though, I'm like "I liked THIS???" :eek:

If I recall correctly, I got to go see "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" when it came out to theaters in 1988. :)

my first great movie experience was when i was really little and i went to see The Lion King PREMIRE. i actually went to the premire. i think it was in new york, but im not sure. but that MUSTVE been frickin awesome. i remember my mom waking me up cos i was asleep. i had to be like 5 when it came out.

I saw Spiderman the day it was released. we had to get to the theater an hour and a half before the movie cos it was packed soo much. and then that become like the biggest weekend opener ever. that was exciting.

I saw Bruce Almighty the day it came out. I'm a huge Jim Carrey fan so me n my friends who are also HUGE jim carrey fans went directly after school. we were sooo excited. we sat in the front row like getting ready to pee on our selfs! it rocked!

I do, too. There's one or two BSC books I like a lot that I still occasionally read (only when I'm REALLY bored.) :lol: At least the BSC isn't my whole life like it used to be...

omg lol! I :notworthy'd BSC back then. I had a membership to the BSC fan club and everything. :blush: I would get a lot of stuff from the fan club, and I even got a BSC T-shirt that I still have to this day! (It still fits too!) When the BSC movie came out in '95, I wore my BSC T-shirt and after the movie was over, I saw quite a few other girls wearing the exact same shirt as me! :eek:

And, I still have a small box in the garage w/ some of my BSC books - I sold off most of my books years ago, but I still read them- but only when I'm very bored. :D

Just recently actually. At Downtown Disney's AMC movie theatre. That was probably the largest movie theatre I've ever been in. The seats were large and comfortable, the floor wasn't sticky, and the screen was huge. The movie was "Holes."

[Penny Lane]

When The Brady Bunch Movie came out my sisters and my daughter and I went to see it together at the matinee. There were only a handful of people there besides us. We were just cracking up and they were not even laughing. Guess that they had not watched The Brady Bunch very much because they were not getting it! We had such a good time! It was great!:lol:

[Sitcomwriter]

Well for the longest time I was afraid of going to the movies but that's another story altogether.I just actually started going to the movies again this past summer when i saw "The Powerpuff Girls Movie" (Yeah, I know) but before that the last movie i had seen was "The Flintstones" way back in 1994.I think the most fun was when I saw "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" mainly because it was a packed house and everyone was laughing.

[-*Forever*-]

Easily, the 6th time I saw "Chicago". I was with ALL of my friends and they didn't turn the lights off ALL the way. So I was reciting all the lines and my friends were all laughing and then I went up and danced in front of the theatre - packed - and they all cheered. It was great :D

[Unwanted Angel]

Me and my ex-boyfriend went to see Scary Movie. Lets just say we didn't even watch the movie ;), That was the best time for me!

[JACK The RIPPER]

Well... It certainly had nothing to do with the actual movie

[BrandonS]

It was a lot of similar times. When I was a small child, my parents and I (I'm an only) would always go to Cape Cod for summer vacation. We would often go to this drive-in which always showed a double feature. I was always in the back seat. I saw some awfully cool movies there, at least from a pre-teenager's point of view. By the second movie, I was almost always unconscious on the seat.
