[RCMerchant]

Like ever?

1. PLANET OF THE APES (1968) with my brother Mike and my Aunt Carol somewhere near Wappinger Falls NY.
2. 2001: A SPACE ODDESSY (1968) with my brothers Mike, Glenn, and baby Richie. Ma and Dad, of course-at a drive-in! The only thing I remember were the apes with the bones.
3. the YELLOW SUBMARINE (1968) Our group leader in the  Catholic orphange walked us into town to this. He was a Jesus hippie. I think we were in upstate NY. I dunno.
4. WILLARD (1971) Dad dropped me, Mike, and Glenn off at the Strand in Paw Paw, Mich.
5. KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (1964) A Halloween Matinee at the Strand! I saw it in 1971.

The Humanoid.
The Aristocats.

There is another film I have vague memories of that had a western background, but I cannot remember the name of.

King Kong (1976)

I took my little sister Wendy to this at the Strand in Paw Paw, Mich. She started crying when King Kong got shot up. I told her it was ketchup. "So he's still alive?" Yes, of course.

My mum would take me to the cinema now and then when I was a kid. I distinctly remember watching ET, Firewalkwer and Superman III with her. Also The Purple Color, but I was too young to understand the worst parts of it.

I have no recollection at all

[HappyGilmore]

First five I can recall. In no particular order.

1.)All Dogs Go to Heaven. Pretty decent and kinda dark for a kids film.

2.)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) film. This movie is pretty impressive. The costumes were outstanding.

From here it gets blurry on things.

3.) The Flintstones live action with John Goodman. Saw this with friends. 93 or 94.

4.) Batman Forever. I liked it. People hated it.

5.) Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Fun times.

I also saw Cop and A half in theaters, but I'm striking that out. It was terrible.

Not sure if it was my mom taking me & my sister to the theater at the mall, or if it was my dad taking the family to the drive-in.....

Can't swear to it, but my earliest memories (in no particular order):
The mall: Bambi, Blackbeard's Ghost, Gus
The drive-in: Flesh Gordon, Trip With The Teacher, C.C. & Company

The drive-in: Flesh Gordon, Trip With The Teacher, C.C. & Company

Oh WOW! Your early childhood viewing experiences were even less appropriate than my own! 

[Rev. Powell]

Can't be sure. I'm going to count drive-ins because some of my earliest memories occurred there. Here are the earliest I can recall, surely I saw a lot of Disney and kid's stuff that didn't stick with me.

"Bambi" - don't remember it but my parents told me I was traumatized
"Batman" (1966) - saw this somehow at the theater; must have been a revival. I saw it before I has seen any reruns of the TV series.
"Young Frankenstein" - at the drive-in. Started my love of monsters
"The Apple Dumpling Gang"
"Murder by Death"
"Star Wars" - I surely saw lots of movies before this but I don't remember what they were
"Smokey and the Bandit"
"Message from Space" - rushed out to capitalize on "Star Wars." My first experience with a bad movie.

surely I saw a lot of Disney and kid's stuff that didn't stick with me.

yeah I'm now thinking I very possibly saw WATERSHIP DOWN at the cinema as a young kid. can't be sure... could be a fake memory conjured up by my newly installed elon musk brain implant

5. KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (1964) A Halloween Matinee at the Strand! I saw it in 1971.

same here! but mid 70s

[chainsaw midget]

I remember seeing Ghostbusters II and Batman in a drive-in and I remember the first movie I ever saw in an actual theater was Hook.  Other than that, I couldn't tell ya'.
