What was the first movie you ever saw?
Alright, this question sort of popped into my head when in another thread, andyrose posted what the first movie he ever saw was. So, now I’m curious. What was the first movie you ever remember seeing.
Even though my parents brought me to every Disney release as a child, my first movie wasn’t even a kids’ movie. Back in the days of drive-in theatres, my parents decided to go see the movie “Jaws”. Being the money conscious people they were, they decided to save money and bring their 2 1/2 year old son with and have him sleep in the back during the move instead of hiring a baby sitter. Well, what they didn’t expect was for him to silently wake up and watch the movie behind their backs. Well, I did, and I had nightmares for years and even developed a slight fear of large bodies of water. The funny thing is that now that I’m older, Jaws is one of my favorite movies of all time and I’ve seen it more times than I can remember. Oh yeah, and every time I swim in a lake or ocean, I can still hear the “Jaws” theme in my head.
