What was the first film you went to see in the cinema without your parents/some sort of grown up chaperone?

Really racking my brain on this one, it could actually have been Police Academy 3

I'm pretty sure it was Star Trek: The Motion Picture. We were on holiday and someone took my brother to see The Black Hole while I watched it.

The Delinquents? No wait, Return Of The Jedi.

Double Dragon (1994) stupid film based on stupider videogame. Alyssa Milano was in it.

Pulp Fiction

The Bourne Dichotomy

wait that's not right, I was going to movies with friends before that.
I just remember that one from some family vacation when I demanded that I be allowed to go do something I wanted to do by myself. So I went and sat in a theater and didn't understand why so many people said this movie was confusing.

I should really know this, but A) I completely forget a lot of my childhood, B) it'd show my tender age and C) I was really sheltered so it probably wasn't until I was like 14, compounding my embarassment.

Actually, shit, I think I remember. It was either Twister, the re-release of Star Wars (episode 4), or Titanic. Whichever came first, I guess.

My Mom and her husband took my friend and I to see 'The Last Emperor' and let us sit by ourselves. This was in grade school, and was my first introduction to a non-child nursing, which was quite a revelation.

Cocktail or License To Drive.

Hmmn. Some Saturday dollar movie when I was eight in Oregon. Sheena? Ator Fighting Eagle? Star Trek III?

i think mine was either (when i was about 4 or 5 i think)
E.T.
gremlins
dark crystal

my mum used to make my brother take me, but he'd just leave me there and take off with his friends

Mine was Godzilla On Monster Island in... seems like '78 or '79?

My dad dropped me and my best friend off at the Roseville 4 in Roseville MN and picked us up after. That counts, right?

Rambo: First Blood Part II, I think.

Wow we all saw really terrible films.

Sadly, I believe it might have been Spies Like Us.

(not counting kids' cinema clubs where lots of us were parked in a cinema with some random parental intervention from somewhere)

Ghostbusters.

Ghost Dad starring Bill Cosby. I was about 7 or 8. My siblings wanted to see The Jungle Book and I didn't. The two movies were playing next to each other, so my mom let me see Ghost Dad by myself. Of course she periodically checked in on me to make sure I was ok and brought me cookies.

I think you're supposed to see awful films when it's the first movie you see as a kid, especially because we didn't yet have the internet full of critics telling us what's "good" so we based it on things like the name or the poster.

Wow, I think it was probably Dr. Strangelove, which is still possibly my favorite movie ever.

Two other important movie landmarks are--

1. First film seen which contained nudity (home video also counts)
2. First film seen on a date

Mine--

1. Conan The Barbarian (@ Har Mar Mall)
2. Teen Wolf (same site. Date = wildly unsuccessful)

Were you my child and let you see that movie, I'd cover your eyes too.

1. First film seen which contained nudity (home video also counts)
Kentucky Fried Movie

2. First film seen on a date
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

1. Starship Troopers -- I was really lucky because before the scene started my mom left the room to make popcorn so she never even knew it happened. My friends and I just looked at each other like OH SHIT WHEW.

2. I never did movie dates until I was like 17, and I think it was Bowling for Columbine. Uuuuuuuugh

We went to ABC Minors in Windsor, and one time there, I won tickets to see the John Wayne film, "Chisum". I'd have been nine then. I took my younger sister there, just a short walk from the flats to the ABC Cinema. I don't think it's even there anymore...

Times be different now, right?

There were several movies I saw where my parents just dropped me and a friend off at the theater, like Twins or Hot Shots! or Joe Versus the Volcano (the latter for my 11th birthday party), but the first movie I went to completely on my own must have been Bram Stoker's Dracula, since everyone in my high school's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (I was a 13-year-old freshman) went on the night it came out.

I never did cinema dates until I was about 21! The first film I remember going to with a boyfriend was Shallow Grave, though I must have gone to the cinema with boys before that, surely.

First film with nudity was Stripes which, unbelievably, our teachers got for us for a class video club thing when I was about 13.

First movie I saw on my own with no parents in the theatre with me: Transformers.

First movie I saw on my own without my parents being at all involved (outside of giving me the allowance that paid for it): Spaceballs.

First movie seen with nudity in it: I have no idea. My parents weren't especially uptight about nudity, and I can't remember the names of any of my early exposures to Showtime softcore.

First movie seen on a date: I don't think I've ever done this? I mean unless it's with someone I'm already in a relationship with, which doesn't really count as a date. But like, "hey, you seem promising, let's spend two hours next to each other not communicating!" seems iffy at best. I did get stood up for a date to see "Sick", that Bob Flanagan (nailed-his-penis-to-a-board) documentary, though.

1. in the cinema...i saw Kylie's boobs in The Delinquents - didn't really like her much at that point tho. home video...Police Academy i think.
2. waaaaaay too late - it was O Brother Where Art Thou! i guess it was a successful date as we ended up together for 2 and a half years after that

Monkey Trouble, with Bob Saget as the father. I wish I were kidding.

<img src="http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/cover_art1/monkeytrouble.jpg";>

We used to go to matinees all the time as kids, so this might be off, but I remember it as Labyrinth.

I can't recall a damn thing about my first date movie, except that she wore blue shoes, a tartan-y skirt and green tights. The film itself is a blank.

First film with nudity (in the cinema): Boomerang, which afterwards made my mum all o_O when she read the synopsis in the paper.

God, when I first started going to the movies without parents, I'd go with a friend who had the worst taste in movies> With him I saw Monkey Trouble, Jingle All The Way, Getting Even with Dad (starring McCauly Culkin and Ted Dansen), and a bunch of other shitty movies. I wish I saw classic ones like Indianer Jones

me and my older brother found my uncle's porn collection when i was about 5, so that was my first nudity-in-film experience.

totally grossed out now, thinking about how i watched my first porno with my freakin' brother.

Actually I'm starting to get a weird memory that me and the same friend were dropped off & picked up, but not accompanied inside, to Star Wars when it first came out. That can't be though, I was only 7...

I got my Dad to take me to see SLIPSTREAM later that Summer of '89. I'd decided it looked awesome because of the poster for it on the back of a comic (can't find same poster on internet). Of course it was terrible, despite Bob Peck.

wow, I really don't know what it was. It wasn't all that long ago either - must have been '97/98? oh wait, must've been earlier than that - it was not Titanic but something that came out a year or so before.

so sad that Titanic is the first one I can remember going to without my parents/elder siblings.

oh the memories are now all flooding back! i was dropped off by my dad, with a girl who lived next to my godfather, to see flight of the navigator. i was 11. great film, but the girl called me "a sex maniac" for touching her hand!

with my cock, admittedly.

Twins was disappointing, because I went with my brother and his friend Tim and Tim's sister Martha and her friend Christy, and I had a huge fifth-grade crush on Christy and I was all, "Oh yeah, goin' to the movies with a girl," so I splashed on this weird lime-scented cologne and piled in the back of the minivan, and then when we got to the theater, Martha and Christy decided they wanted to see Dream a Little Dream (starring the Coreys) instead.

I have no idea. It might have been the Lost Boys or something. Not counting that time I ran away and snuck into The Ammityville Horror 3D or whatever. And got dragged out in the middle by a policeman and hauled in front of my waiting Dad. Embarrassing.

Can't remember first movie nudity. My parents used to take me to R rated movies all the time when I was little girl, thinking it would go over my head. I think it was around the time I started asking awkward questions in the middle of "Being There" or "Tess of the D'Urbevilles" or something really inappropriate that they realised they should stop doing this.

Date movie... oh god, I never went on dates until I was well in my 20s so I've no idea.

I have no clue what the first one I saw alone was. The last movie I recall going to see with my parents was Terminator 2, so it was probably something right after that.

First date movie, and this was a brilliant choice - Apt Pupil. Nothing like a movie about Nazis to get a girl in the mood.

Superman. I got bollocked cos it was later than I said it would be or somethink.

Oh wait, I remember now! The first movie I went to "officially" by myself was Sid and Nancy. I went to see it first in NYC with my brother (also first solo trip down to NYC, albeit met at the station by my bro) but when it came to the local art cinema in Albany, I was allowed to go by myself!

First film without an adult: Hmmm . . . we used to go to Saturday matinees alone when my family was stationed overseas in the 70s, but I can't remember any of the movies! First one I really remember is ET.

First with boobies: Probably Kramer vs. Kramer

First date movie: Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

The girl I went with was named, I swear, Dawn Darling.
