There is no way I could think back far enough to remember the very first movie I ever watched. We had television to watch from my earliest life and mom almost considered the TV as a babysitter when she was busy. We only had 2 channels to fight over but we usually just watched whatever was the better choice.
We also had a nice local movie theater that had first run movies every day. It was not an everyday thing for us, but we did go there quite often as a family.
The first movie at the theater that I recall was the Sound Of Music. That was sometime in the 1960s. My parents were looking forward to it but I recall I just did not want to go. It somehow sounded boring to me and I fought them about going. They had to just about force me to get in the car to go.
We went on in and I found I actually enjoyed it, a lot! I remember being upset that it finally came to an end as in "Is That All There IS?" Seems I enjoyed it more than any of my brothers.
I have enjoyed watching it several times since then. Gets my recommendation.
