Movies you have seen in a theater

  1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Twice. First film I can remember seeing in theaters, at the age of seven.

  1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
  2. The Matrix

Two days in a row. Was exhausted the first time I saw it and fell asleep. Went back the next day because everything I was awake for was amazing.

Movies you have seen in a theater

  1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
  2. The Matrix
  3. X-Men

The most recent film I’ve seen at a drive-in. That drive-in, The Big Mo in Monetta, SC, is still there 23 years later.

  1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
  2. The Matrix
  3. X-Men
  4. Alien

I saw it in it’s first run, when Sigourney Weaver was a complete unknown. So I was absolutely on the edge of my seat, heart in my mouth, etc., when she’s walking around the ship, getting ready to launch the pod. There was just no way she was going to live when all those famous people had died.

But she was so tough, and determined-- My Gawd-- how I wanted her to make it!

  1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
  2. The Matrix
  3. X-Men
  4. Alien
  5. The Black Pirate (1926)

It was a retrospective.

Went to see it with a girl on a date back in the day … forty-odd years later and I can’t even remember her name – which is odd, since I went on so few dates they should stick out in my mind like sore thumbs…
