Good topic Capo!

I'm trying to think of the very first movie I saw and really can't remember. I'm thinking it was The Ten Commandments. I have memories of being very young and seeing it at the drive-in with my family. I remember being in awe at the whole epic.

A minor memory that sticks with me for some reason; when I was about 10 or 12 years old, we were visiting an aunt/uncle in Detroit and my older cousin asked my mom if she thought my sister and I were old enough to see "Imitation Of Life." Sounds so tame now. Ha ha But, I wasn't allowed to see it.

I remember Wait Until Dark also and that unexpected scene SC speaks of. Nothing like seeing something like that in the theater.

I also remember standing in line and waiting to see The Exorcist at it's debut. There was so much hype, I had read the book, seen interviews with cast on Merv Griffin/Mike Douglas shows and was so ready to see it. There was an intermission at one point and everyone went to the lobby (you could smoke in the lobby at that time. )You could tell everyone was a little freaked. I remember one guy who was standing by us trying to lighten up the mood and said, "boy I wouldn't call this a good make-out film would you?" Why I remember that little tidbit, I don't know.

I am glad also that I was able to see "West Side Story" at the theater. I'm not real big on musicals (or should I say maybe a little fussy when it comes to musicals), but I really liked that one.
