Baker's Dozen : Movie Edition

Movies that you remember more for the "event" of seeing it than for the movie itself:

1--Reds. The girl I went to prom with asked me to take her at that movie. Making it weirder, our elementary school principal was sitting directly in front of us.

2. Breakdown - I was the only one in the theater for the showing, so I sat in the middle row, middle seat. The funny part was when the usher showed up with a coin jar for donations for the Jimmy Fund and walked right up to me and shoved the jar in my face looking for donations.

3. Life - Utterly forgettable. I just remember going to the theater the day we pulled into Hawaii after six months overseas (so we hadn't seen any ads or previews, nor seen any reviews). The choice came down to an Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence movie or some movie with Keanu Reeves in a trench coat. We chose...poorly.

4. Return of the Jedi - my brother took me with his friends. Two of them had been waiting since early morning and were at the front of the line. Eight more of us showed up an hour before the show started and assumed our saved spots at the front of a very long line. After a near fight with the older kids behind us we gave up our front of the line spot. I would have waited all day to see that movie if I had to.

5. The Exorcist - My two buddies and I were in college and had heard how scary it was. We decided to go to the matinee so it would be daylight when we got out of the theater. Great movie and we even survived. LOL Silly us. What babies we were.

7. 8 Seconds - Saw it on a date, remember it mostly because of a whole theater full of big burly cowboys crying their eyes out while walking out of the movie.

8. Planet of the Apes marathon ~ My buddy, his girlfriend, and I went to see All 5 PotA movies, in sequence at a drive-in theater. He and I were tripping on acid. I couldn't sit still in the car, and kept having to go out to the concession stand to use the bathroom. The movies were timed perfectly so that the last one ended just as the sun came up. They dropped me off at my house and I slept for about a day and a half.

10. Pinocchio - [MENTION=16143]beginish[/MENTION] reminded me of the first movie I ever saw in a movie theatre. I was 4 or so and remember that the theatre seemed so big and fancy (even though looking back I suspect it was really a run-down 2nd run theatre). Don't remember much about the movie other than being scared when Pinocchio was turning into a donkey. And we went out to dinner afterwards.
