John Ford Westerns: 1. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) 2. The Iron Horse (1924) 3. The Searchers (1956) 4. Stagecoach (1939) 5. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) 6. Rio Grande (1950) 7. Cheyenne Autumn (1964) 8. Wagon Master (1950) 9. Fort Apache (1948) 10. My Darling Clementine (1946) The first movie you ever saw in a theater (that you remember) 1. Return of the Jedi I was 6 years old. It was for a neighbor’s birthday party, I think. And at that showing, during the lightsaber fight between Luke and Vader in the dark, the projector failed and the screen just went black. No explanation from the theater staff, we just sat there for like 10 minutes. Eventually it came back on, but a bunch of people had already left. I wonder if they thought that was the end of the movie. ---

The first movie you ever saw in a theater (that you remember) 1. Return of the Jedi 2. Sleeping Beauty The 1959 Disney film. I was five. I remember more about the elegance of the theater than the movie: the lush red velvet seats, the huge red curtains that opened before the picture started and all the goldwork in the decoration. And popcorn. ---

The first movie you ever saw in a theater (that you remember) 1. Return of the Jedi 2. Sleeping Beauty 3. The Shaggy Dog 4. The Sword in the Stone Probably in early 1964, when I would have been seven. That was in a fancy indoor sit-down theater(as opposed to our local drive-in) that we had to drive all the way into town for too! ---
