Live Poll: IMDb Poll Board First Films Seen in a Theater

ElMo,Thanks. I've added your first film, Rocky II (1979).

albstein,Thanks. I added Space Jam (1996).

NDbportmanfan 1,Thanks. I added Anastasia (1997).

rocky-o,Thanks. I added Dr. No (1962).

I have a strange memory of seeing this at some point, though...https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457419/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

MST3K (and Narnia) is Awesome,Thanks. I added Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007).

LOL, and cool that you saw that film on the big screen. I'm sure it was even more amazing that way.

Mark Glass, Thanks. I added The Ten Commandments (1956). I'm happy to see that one of your contributions have been incorporated in a poll suggestion. In theory, I could have seen The Ten Commandments in a theater when I was 2 years old, but if I did, I certainly don't remember it.

Narnia,The Tivoli Theater in University City, showed a lot of older films when they were open. They are temporarily closed due to COVID-19.https://www.landmarktheatres.com/st-louis/tivoli-theatreFathom Event in conjunction with TCM shows older films in theaters. They showed The Ten Commands in 2016:https://www.fathomevents.com/events/the-ten-commandments Maybe they will show it again.https://www.fathomevents.com/

The Tivoli is a fine venue for indie and international films, as well as vintage offerings. As to the Commandments debut, I was 8 and it was Passover, so we had to bring our own lousy hard candies instead of getting savory buttered popcorn. But the spectacle was quite impressive.

i'm right behind you there...mine was the very first james bond film...dr. no... that's when it was fun to go to the movie theatre....

DC,Thanks. I added Jurassic Park (1993). You just confirmed that you are younger than my younger daughter. Suddenly, I feel very old.

Dan, shouldn't it be a movie we remember seeing?

Jessica,You are correct. I missed that in DC's response.This is a list of the first films that IMDb Poll Board users remember seeing in theaters. DC, Do you recall the first film you remember seeing? Thanks.

Anaconda Chachi 420 Jurassic Park 2 (Lost World) Titanic Evil Dead 2 All these five at the same time frame I can remember. Not sure which one was the first. Among these, the experience of watching Titanic and Evil Dead 2 is still shining in my memory. While watching Evil Dead 2 I covered my eyes more than half of the screen time. And, while watching Titanic I cried a lot. It has been almost 23 years, but still it is my favorite movie of all time.

You can add Titanic for me.

DC,Thanks. I replaced Jurassic Park (1993) with Titanic (1997).

I saw my first when I was 4 years old and I still remember the glimpse of child actors. Hollywood movies were off limit for most of my childhood and watching them in theaters was off off-limit mostly due to unavailability. I was in college when they were releasing Hollywood movies more regularly and MI 4 was the standard blockbuster substantial movie.

Brijesh Marand,Thanks. I added Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). I am not restricting this poll to English language films. In fact, I'm hoping to include many non-English films in this poll if they are the first film seen in by a user. One of my purposes in creating this poll is to illustrate the diversity of poll authors and people who vote in IMDb polls.

Brijesh Marand,Since you raised the issue, I added this ground rule:5. Films are not limited to English language films.

MST3K (and Narnia) is Awesome,Thanks, changed Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007) to Chicken Little (2005).

cinephile,Thanks. I added Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009).

Nikolay,Thanks. I added Lang leve de koningin (1995).

Breumaster,Thanks. I added The Jungle Book (1967).

Yes!! I have found one in my ‘88/‘89 school diary. I have seen Moonwalker (1988) in theater.

Hoekkie,Thanks. I added Moonwalker (1988).

Ruby,Thanks. I added Bambi (1942).I still cry when I watch Bambi. I also cry when I watch The Yearling (1946).
