what was the first movie you saw in the theater?

I must be old. I'm pretty sure Disney played Dumbo in the theaters and I saw it there. This was before videotapes. Even as a little girl that whole mother singing to Dumbo from jail business affected me.

Didn't Dumbo come out in the early 40s?? Dang, you is old

The first one I can remember seeing was Sargent Bilko. The Steve Martin movie. I saw it with a friend of mine.

The Muppets

Mine was Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

I think it was Planet of the Apes but it was a Drive In not a theatre.

Jaws is the first one I remember.

They do this yearly Jaws on the water movie somewhere in Texas, i think near Austin.
Basically watching it on floaties while wading in a big lake. I hear they also have actors that swim through the lake with fins also.

I want to go but that also seems terrifying.

Lol no I'm not THAT old. But I know I saw in the days before videotape. So one of two things happened. Either Disney re- released it in theaters periodically or they re- released it on television. I think I saw it re- released in the theater. It's the first movie I remember seeing anyway.
