First Movie You Ever Saw at Theatre?
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
It appears that I am one of the few "little kids" whose parents took him to the movies - How's that for white privilege?...
"The Blog" could be a Phillip K. Dick story, he was always looking at dystopian futures...
First film was no long after my family immigrated to Toronto from Italy: Oliver! at the old Carlton Cinema.
I remember that the theater was grand, more like an opera house than a flick house. It got torn down in the early 70's, the last film to play there was The Ruling Class with Peter O'Toole.

^ My very first visit to a movie theatre was in 1977, but it wasn't for STAR WARS. It was a grade school field trip to Ontario Place which also included seeing a couple of IMAX films at the Cinesphere. Unfortunately, I only remember one of the two movie titles. SILENT SKY. 
First Hollywood movie was that same year and it was SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER at the Rex Theatre on the Danforth.

You know a movie is scary when it makes you nervous about diving into the deep end of a swimming pool...
I saw Oliver! in a theater as well, as part of a school trip in grade two. It might have been at the Carlton. Back in those days, all long movies had an intermission in the middle, to accommodate smokers, who would congregate in the Lobby between Acts. There was always about a minute of entr'acte music before the second half started, so people would know when it was time to return to their seats.
Behind the Green Door. Times Square 1974. Not the first movie I ever saw. Just the first that made the others fade into insignificance.
Deep Throat at some grungy theatre near 42nd St., NYC, in 1972. My first porno.

We've trod the same street, in pretty much the same era. New York was great back then. You could watch a porno for 5 bucks and get a bbbj in your car afterwards for 10 bucks.
That I remember the Lion King which was release in 1994, so I would have been 3 years and some months.
