I've seen a bunch of movies the first night, but I think the best movie I saw a few weeks into the release had to be the night I saw Saving Private Ryan. I saw it on veteran's day weekend in NY; there were free tix being given to WWII vets and their families. I was in the theater with about 50 vets, and I remember the opening sequence left most of them in tears. Several widows had to leave the the theater during that sequence....
After the movie, I saw a lot of the vets embracing and shaking hands. Several were crying. I still have alot of admiration for those men, knowing they had seen all that horror and all that death just to protect our country for schmuks like us. Seeing the movie with all these men that had so much emotion and so much pride was a very special experience, and I think it was probably one of the most memorable movie nights of my life.
