    Star Wars - the one where R2D2 gets zapped by Sand People and falls over with a comical thud.

    Haven’t seen it for yonks, but enjoy it when I do.

    A horror movie called It’s Alive. I was 5 years old. My mom would rent horror movies without checking the ratings and I’d watch them. Even after this I always loved horror and never had nightmares or anything. But, I rewatched It’s Alive a few years ago and it is definitely not for kids… But honestly the craziest thing my mom rented was The Toxic Avenger, when I was maybe 10. She never saw it herself it so still has no idea what she allowed me to watch at a young age!

      An American Tale is the first movie I remember watching in the movie theater. And I feel in love with it. But I don’t think I’ve watched that movie in over 30 years. My kids and I will 100% be watching that this weekend.

    It might be a new hope, but I couldn’t imagine when or where I saw it.

    I still remember my dad renting a vcr to watch empire strikes back. It was well after the release of the Return of the Jedi, but it was the first time we used a VCR.

    My family wasn’t poor, but money was tight and so we turned it into a huge home theater experience with lots of special foods and unlimited soda. The last half was basically non-stop terror for me and I loved every minute of it.

    I remember being more surprised that Luke lost his hand than Darth Vader being his father. My little kid brain just figured, yeah, that makes sense; not a lot of other potential dad figures lying around.

    Disney’s Cinderella was re-released in theaters in 80s, I’m pretty sure that’s the first one that formed a permanent memory. I’m not sure I’ve seen it from start to finish since then.

    Empire Strikes back. Han Solo being carbonised, Luke skywalker hanging from bottom of cloud city. Just wow. Probably earlier ones but that was stamped on my brain.

    Ghostbusters.

    First film I ever saw at the cinema. Loved it then and still do, probably watch it at least twice a year.
