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 · 06-05-2003, 01:11 PM

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

then there was beauty and the beast last spring...(only somehow it was an appropriate movie for that relationship

)

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.

*PinkLady* · 06-09-2003, 07:58 PM

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.

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.

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.

PZelda · 06-10-2003, 11:33 PM

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

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???"

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

)
"we worked all summer and all we got was a pizza..."

LucyCompanyPhan · 06-11-2003, 01:14 PM

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!
