What was the first movie you remember watching in the theaters? For me it was A Bug's Life. It was the first Pixar movie I watched. And I've loved them ever since. A Bug's Life still holds a special place inside me.

- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

- Watch a "Transformers" DVD instead
- The Dictator
- Review
- Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.
- Jiro Dreams Of Sushi
- Review
- When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.

Empire Strikes Back. I live in Chicago and traveled to WI to go to this aggrivating little area where they have cottages, fishing, and mini-golf, and a great breakfest restaurant that in popular because they have goats (yes goats) on the roof. My father took myself and my brother along with my uncle and and three cousins to see Empire Strikes Back and I drove my father crazy. The movie was long and I was so bored at the Yoda scene and was begging to leave. Funny thing is this now one of my top 3 movies. It's the earliest movie I can remember other then something like Bambi or 101 Dalmations.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit was definately the first my dad took me and my sisters to see it only because he had absolutely no idea what to do with us when he was forced to spend time with us... I used to carry around this little plastic case which was meant to carry eggs in it and assigned each slot to a cartoon bullet for my cartoon gun I pretended to have for months afterwards. I think the next film I saw was either Moonwalker or Last crusade *shrug* whatever came out first.
Uh...maybe the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? I have no idea honestly.
It was "2001: a space odyssey" sometime in late '68 or early '69 and I'm not sure why my father thought it would be a good thing to drag a very young child to. I suppose he thought it might be a space-filled adventuresome romp that would keep me occupied with the pretty colors or perhaps he just didn't have a babysitter.
Regardless the more profound effect upon me was actually the soundtrack album he picked up that I became quietly obsessed with as I got older bit by bit. I used to play all the very strange Gyorgy Ligeti pieces and just flip through all the pages of pictures from the film over and over again. It also doubled as a keen Hallowe'en album with those spooky layered vocals.
@HandsomeDead: Indeed I was quite fond of that film and it remains my favorite Disney animated feature to this day. I had the storybook LP that came with a large assortment of chronological stills that I used to play over and over again and flip through as there weren't any VCRs in those days of course. Because of this I'm actually more strongly attuned to every sound of Peter Pan than the actual visuals which is a little odd but expected I suppose consider how often I listened to it.
