I'm going to go with my first movie theatre experience. My dad took me to a classic old theatre called the Rivoli to watch The Empire Strikes Back. The theatre had faux towers and walkways on the side of the room. I remember thinking that Darth Vader was going to show up on the towers; I was freaking out.
I don't remember much about the movie, aside from being scared at the part with Yoda in the swamp. Afterward, we went to the local Burger King for dinner, and I remember getting a Star Wars glass (legit glass, too!). Such different days. I probably had greasy, buttery popcorn, lots of Coca-Cola, and then topped it off, no doubt, with fries, more soda, and lots of cheeseburgers. Different days, indeed!
Oh man, this is a very cool first time. It's kind of funny really as my dad took me to a similar sort of theatre here, *The Piccadilly, in North Adelaide, to see Star Wars back in 1978...I have good memories of it. Great first time comment bro!

Very cool -did you and your dad play lightsabers? I remember my mom and taping paper towel tubes together for us to run around the house with. They didn't last very long, I'm sure, but being young when those movies came out; our whole lives revolved around those films. Such a time!
Yep, I had a light sabre but played with my older brother. We had broom sticks painted up. Did the job...Hurt too if one was to cop a good smack with it. :)
I don't remember what my first film was, I'm sure it was a Disney film. But reading your experience you made me remember my first play, I went with my dad to see Peter Pan and I thought it was amazing at the time, I enjoyed it a lot and I remember every moment of that day.
Nice! I think the first play I saw was A Christmas Carol at the local community theatre. I remember it was a grade school field trip; that Ghost of Christmas Future freaked me out almost as much as Lord Vader!
Hahahaha, amazing when we were kids how we saw things with such innocence, everything seemed real 🤗
