Originally Posted By wahooskipper Geez, I fogot a movie. I saw "The Cat from Outer Space" in '78. "Drive In"...I kind of dated myself there. Schmitty, I was in Carousel in high school. I played Enoch Snow. Now, there is some information you could have lived without, huh?

Originally Posted By Ursula The first movie I ever remember seeing was The Longest Yard. It was at the drive-in. I also remember seeing Dumbo but I can't place which was first for me.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo The first movie I remember seeing was Star Wars, though apparently I saw Snow White first (I don't remember).
Originally Posted By DVC_dad The only movie I ever saw at a Drive In was with my (then girlfriend) now wife back in 1984, Romancing the Stone.
