The challenge list:
1) The first film you remember watching
I know we went out to see Lady and the Tramp in a theatre on post in what the internet tells me was 1980, but literally all I remember of that is a mental image of black leather bucket seats in the lobby. And we had a VCR and a handful of movies including Star Wars by 1982 if not before, but again I can't remember watching them. I know I must have, though, because I was already a Star Wars fan by the time we moved to Virginia in the summer of '83. So, the first film I remember watching:
Admittedly what I remember of that viewing is having to pee near the end, and walking back into the theatre to Darth Vader's pale naked head filling the screen.
I've always had a soft spot for Jedi, despite the fact that it's two half-movies awkwardly glued together. I was the right age to appreciate Ewoks, which helped. (I mostly didn't mind the special edition re-release in 1997 but I did get mad that they cut the Yub Nub song for CGI Coruscant.)

Date: 2020-10-02 01:40 pm (UTC)I think my earliest film was Peter Pan, and me sobbing at the tragic ending (the kids had to go back home), while being shaken and asked "What's wrong with you?" I also remember the thousands of other four or five year old baby boomers around me whooping and chattering and I marveled at how oblivious they were as I sobbed and hiccoughed and sobbed.
