LOL...I know what you mean...the earliest one I can remember was "Prom Night". Horror movies are terrific!!

Sounds like something MY dad would do! When I was little, I wanted a rubber duckie...like Ernie on Sesame Street. My dad gave me a full size mallard hunting decoy. Ha ha!

OMG Val!! I knew we were kindred spirits, lol! My parents took me to see Jaws at the drive in too!! I was horrified for months! I would stand up on my bed and jump as far from the edge as possible, convinced the shark was in the dark under my bed.

My first movie out, though, was at the drive in. We watched "The Muppet Movie", it was good, but not a fond memory because I used to (I say used to like I don't do it know) walk around **everywhere** barefoot. My mom and I walked to the bathroom in the dark and on the way back, I stubbed my toe on a manhole cover that was slightly tipped upward. It ripped the entire toenail off of my big toe. OUCH!! I cried until we got back to the truck and then went back to watching the movie, lol! You would think that would have stopped me from going barefoot, but it didn't... deep down, I'm still that stubborn 3 year old!

I was a bit older when I saw Star Wars, but it's still one of my most memorable theater moments. We saw it at the Cine Capri in Phoenix...a single, widescreen theater (the first in AZ to get Dolby) with 800 seats. And the place was PACKED!

I think my first drive in movie might have been 101 Dalmations...I used to see lots of movies in the theatre because my grandfather was a projectionist... so I went to see Lost Horizon, Around the World in 80 Days, one of the Lassie movies and Jungle Book. All when I was pretty young. One of my other early Drive In memeries was going to see Support your local Sheriff and the Legend of Boggy Creek. I was terrified of big foots for years after that.
