Day 4: First movie you saw at a movie theater

That I can remember, The Rescuers Down Under. I'm not entirely certain if it really truly was the first movie I watched in the theater, but it's the one that I have at least the vaguest memory of.

--

Speaking of films, I recently watched Prey (2022) and it was absolutely wonderful. Now, I haven't seen any of the Predator movies and only have limited and quite vague knowledge of the franchise itself, but honestly you don't need to know anything about them in order to watch this movie. It's practically a stand-alone, with a few nods to previous films that only those who know of them would pick up, but otherwise it's pretty easy to follow. The reason that I wanted to watch this film was mere curiosity, word-of-mouth from people I follow who have been hyping it up due to the casting (Indigenous actors and how the film honors Indigenous culture), although it was mainly because of Amber Midthunder who I've seen and liked in other things, so seeing her be the lead in this was such a treat. She basically carried the entire movie and was amazing.

(Also, for those who worry, her dog companion survives. That's the only spoiler I'm going to give.)

Yeah, memories are weird like that, because I'm not entirely sure if what I saw was the first movie I ever watched in a movie theater, but it's the one that I can for sure recall, as vague as it is because my memory is shit. We tended to rent more movies than see them in the movie theaters growing up, though. I think I started regularly going to see movies in the theaters when I was a preteen.
