Wow... three "Midways" out of the few responses so far!

It wasn't buttkickers that were used... I remember seeing a row of subs, each the size of refrigerators, along the front wall under the screen.... which is why I think they could reproduce it in a special edition as long as a person had an adequate sub at home!

Since I worked at the theater - we were in there in the light the Subs were the size of fridges and they were spaced about every 5 rows. I watched the movie maybe 10 times.....

Ha ha. I still haven't seen that. Will I regret not making it to the theater for that?

Would you watch the entire Buffy series at the theater if they, for some strange reason, started showing TV series on the big screen?

I can't remember if it was 2001 or Planet of the Apes. I also remember seeing Jaws. I was real hesitant to get in the water the next time I went to the beach!

Jesus, I didn't even like being in our backyard pool at night! \:\)

I dunno. I haven't seen Avatar.

I wouldn't really go to a theater for anything...including my beloved Buffy series... unless it was something I wanted to see AND the theater offered something I can't get at home...like sex a 3D experience.

I also was afraid of the water for quite a while after seeing Jaws. I have never been real comfortable in the ocean, and that movie only increased my apprehensions. I have a recollection of my fears extending to pools as well. Probably one of my more irrational fears. At least in theory a witch could have gotten in my house and under my bed. Not sure how a shark could get in a swimming pool, or how could I have missed it before jumping in.

Disney's Sword in the Stone at a drive in was the first movie I saw. Apparently it scared the bjesus out of me at the time...

Back in the early 80's when the 'Friday the 13th' franchise was starting(watched at the drive-in), a group of us teenagers used to hang out at one of our friends who's parents owned a century old schoolhouse surrounded by trees with a cabin on a large U-shaped pond. Years beforehand, a boy had drowned up the end of one of the 'legs' of the pond(they had to drag the pond). Generally we avoided swimming in that end, the one and only time I swam up that end, something bumped my foot, probably a submerged tree branch...but I never went up that end again!

When I was about 11 or 12, a friend and I went to a local small town theater to watch this movie. It had 2 showings and when you were supposed to leave after the 1st one, we stayed and watched both of them. This is the only time I remember doing that.

I had very few movie experiences prior to high school. I think I can recall each of them:

The first one was 1776. My elementary school rented out a theater for a showing. I think it was during the bicentennial, because I was only 4 when the movie originally came out. I remember Thomas Jefferson seeming to be a dashing character. He's been my favorite president ever since.

Next was The Muppet Movie in 1979. I was 11 and went with my mom and brother (6 at the time).

In 1981, my grandfather took me and his three other grandkids (my brother and our cousins) to see The Private Eyes with Tim Conway and Don Knotts. I've always wanted to watch it again to see if it seems as funny now as it did then.

Then, in the summer of 1982, I saw E.T. with my mom and brother. I think that was it until high school and the freedom that a car brings.

I can recall seeing the Apple Dumpling gang in a theater, another Tim Conway/Don Knotts movie. I still do not recall my first movie, most likely, as many have stated a Disney film of some sort, possibly the Aristocats?
