visualfeast Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 My first was SONG OF THE SOUTH, and I've been a movie lover ever since. I'm still waiting for TCM to bring it back so more movie lovers can enjoy it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjmartin Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 In the theaters I think it was Pollyanna with Hayley Mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm fairly confident that it was Mary Poppins in the movie theatre. On tv, probably The Wizard of Oz. I remember seeing Yellow Submarine, The Gnomemobile ( which for some reason I loved), and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with my mother, who must have had a real love of movies to sit through those three. The first movie to affect me greatly was Oliver! I also remember staying up late on New Year's Eve to watch The Thief of Baghdad with Sabu. The big spider came on the screen and I got scared and threw up. Probably not the memorable experience it should have been..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood74 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Probably the Wizard of Oz on tape but in the theatre, I believe it was "Annie". The scene where Daddy Warbucks took her to the movies replays almost everytime I go to the theatre, even now as an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainingviolets21 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The Greatest Show on Earth, and I remember trying to see behind the screen to try and find the circus.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcco44 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 it was either "what's the matter with helen?" or "two mules for sister sarah" or "diamonds are forever". i don't remember which came first, but they were all at the local drive-in!

JackFavell Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sorry to butt in here twice. I just remembered a very early memory of watching TV. Claudette Colbert was running across a lawn, she was wearing a wedding gown.... I must have been about 4 years old. Flash forward to me at age 25. I had waited and waited for years to see "It Happened One Night" (VHS tapes had just come out), and I sat down excitedly to watch it. Slowly it dawned on me that I already had. It was a very bizarre experience, like deja vu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayresorchids Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That Darn Cat! and the year after that, I remember wanting to hide under the seat when the Witch Queen was holding forth in the fourth re-release of Snow White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ayres- first of all, I love your name. Second, I remember I loved "That Darn Cat"! It may be one of the first I saw too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieman1957 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I seem to recall it was Disney's "Follow Me Boys." Even if that's not right it was probably a Disney film. The first picture I remember seeing without my parents was a movie called "Zebra In The Kitchen" with Jay North (Dennis, The Menace.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bOb39 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I was maybe 5 or 6 years old and my neighbor/babysitter took me to the movies at the Circle Theater in Manchester. All I could remember about this movie for decades, was stormy weather and in one scene, a guy made a high dive into the water off the yardarm of a sailing ship. I often wondered what movie that was. About 50 years later, I was watching The Hurricane from 1937 with Jon Hall and Dorothy Lamour on a rental video tape. When Jon Hall's character dove off the yardarm of the sailing ship, I yelled to my wife, "That's it! That's the 1st movie I ever saw! Now I know the name of it!" Mystery solved. When I saw it in the mid 1940s, it had to be a re-release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefilmone Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The fist movie that made an impression on me was either Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" or "Pinochio". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiO Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The first that I can vividly remember is Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. Had nightmares for years afterwards. I'm sure it was part of a double-feature, but I have zero recollection of what the other movie might have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pktrekgirl Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN, with Debbie Reynolds. I was terrified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Were you scared of the boat sinking, musicals, or just Debbie Reynolds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pktrekgirl Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The boat sinking. I was a toddler when I saw that film, and the boat sinking was terrifying. Almost as terrifying as the Wizard of Oz flying monkeys, which began to terrorize me soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Those flying monkeys! I think you are not alone. They didn't scare me, but when Dorothy is trapped, gazing at Auntie Em in the crystal ball, and Em turns into the Wicked Witch, I'm sure I jumped 10 feet.

whistlingypsy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I like to make a distinction between the first movie I saw, either ?The Incredible Mr. Limpet? or ?The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao? and the first movie I went to see on my own, ?Oliver!? the musical. I had a huge crush on the boy who played the Artful Dodger and I was in movie heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFavell Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I had a crush on Jack Wild too. My mother helped me write to him but I never got a reply. But I still have a hand-written letter that Mark Lester (the boy who played Oliver) wrote me, he was so nice. He asked me to write him back but I never did. I still feel a little guilty that he took the time to write and I never responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webestang Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The first one I remember seeing in a theater was "Tom Sawyer" 1973...so I would have been 9 years old...on TV it was "The Court Jester" with Danny Kaye....my all time favorite comedy, don't remember how old I was but I do remember staying up late at my grandmas house watching it and laughing so hard I cried.
