Anything else would be too much today - like wading through War & Peace after reading Moby Dick or the like.

Something cadhla posted today got me thinking - what's the first movie you remember seeing? In the theater, mind. Taken out, sat down and had popcorn put in front of you at the movie theater, movie.

I recall being taken out to see Mary Poppins on opening night - VERY big stuff, we had everything related to the movie release in the house - but I also recall being taken to see Alakazam the Great as a matinee...and I had the soundtrack to go with it.

Summertime, I can recall checking out silent films on 8MM from the library and watching them with the neighbor kids when it was so hot outside we wouldn't dare it. Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplin....

If KTLA had a Japanese monster flick on, we sat around and MSTK'd it. Good times, good times....

What was your first film?
