Empire Strikes back. Han Solo being carbonised, Luke skywalker hanging from bottom of cloud city. Just wow. Probably earlier ones but that was stamped on my brain.
Thomas (the Tank Engine) and the Magical Railroad is the first movie I remember watching. I was a big Thomas-head as a wee kid lol and that claw train guy was terrifying to me
A horror movie called It’s Alive. I was 5 years old. My mom would rent horror movies without checking the ratings and I’d watch them. Even after this I always loved horror and never had nightmares or anything. But, I rewatched It’s Alive a few years ago and it is definitely not for kids… But honestly the craziest thing my mom rented was The Toxic Avenger, when I was maybe 10. She never saw it herself it so still has no idea what she allowed me to watch at a young age!
Cinderella
Before anyone makes the obvious joke, it was a re-release! I’m not that old :)
It’s still a beautiful movie and I now regularly watch it with my daughter. It has beautiful art, cute animals and catchy songs. 🎶bippity boppity boo🎶
And that stepmother has one of the evilest smirks I’ve ever seen. No magic or anything and still one of the best Disney villains.
I think the only downside is the bland prince. He has about the same personality as a boiled potato.
I don’t remember how old I was when I watched it, but I was young enough to still be allowed to run through the theater.
Arizona Raiders, with Audy Murphy, probably at the age of 10. I thought it was the most sophisticated thing ever. I saw it again as an adult, and realized it’s dreadful.
The first movie I can clearly remember watching in a movie theatre was Mio min Mio, with a very young Christian Bale, and I’ve never watched it again since then but now you got me curious about doing that:
My memory is funny sometimes so my answer might change if asked in the future, but looking back right now, the first movie I remember watching is Pan’s Labyrinth. As a child watching it (albeit not intentional by anyone), it wasn’t a great experience, as you might imagine.
