Darby O'Gill and the Little People / and the Shaggy Dog A double feature. What a great double-feature that would be.

Mine was in 1979. I was 4 yrs old. One of my earliest memories. My mom took me to see Ridley Scott's "Alien". Scared the sh&t outta me. Also probably desensitized me to horror films. Haha. I think mine was Star Wars.

I vaguely remember seeing the 80's version of "Cat People" as my first drive-in experience. I think it might have been a double feature with "An American Werewolf in London". I also saw all of the Star Wars when they were first released in the theaters. I'll never forget opening night of "Return of the Jedi". I witnessed a couple actually getting married while standing in line for the show (priest and everything). Now THAT is true geek love right there.

Seem all 6 Star Wars first run, and the original trilogy re releases...not doing the 3D though.

I actually just watched Episodes 2 & 3 for the first time on DVD about 3 years ago. Haha. Quite an improvement from Phantom though I must say.

I don't hate the new trilogy, but like the Friday The 13th Franchise, had to see them all on the big screen.

I still have not seen the last two films. I loathed Phantom Menace that much. It even made me sort of hate the original films.

I can't remember the first exact movie, but my earliest memory of being at the cinema would have been to see ''Casper'' and ''The Mask''

I wish they would bring them back. Maybe a new movie and a older one together. Feel like you would be getting a deal.
