30 Day Movie Challenge: Day #29

Day 29. First Movie You Ever Remember Watching

I’ve seen so many movies that it is really tough for me to remember seeing a lot of them. These are a few movies that have been memorable viewing experiences.

• The Jungle Book (1967)–Bagheera the Panther and Baloo the Bear have a difficult time trying to convince a boy to leave the jungle for human civilization. My dad told me that this was the first movie I saw in the movie theater. They were playing it somewhere in Miami when I was a few months old and my dad took me. I obviously don’t remember this but I figure it’s a big deal.

• Vacancy (2007)–A young married couple becomes stranded at an isolated motel and finds hidden video cameras in their room. They realize that unless they escape, they’ll be the next victims of a snuff film. Starring Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson. This was the first rated R movie that I saw in the movie theater without an adult. I just remember that my friend was really nervous because she didn’t have her license yet so she brought a bunch of other things with her birthday on them. It was really funny. The movie wasn’t great but we came up with a whole list of things to do/not do so we would never end up in a horror movie.

• Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain (1995)–A city girl teams up with a tomboy to solve the mystery of Bear Moutian, Molly Morgan and the buried treasure as well as learn about true friendships. Starring Christina Ricci and Anna Chlumsky. This was the movie that I always rented every time we went to Blockbuster. There was just something about it that I was in love with.

• Lilo & Stitch (2002)–A Hawaiian girl adopts an unusual pet who is actually a notorious extra-terrestrial fugitive from the law. This is probably my most memorable movie theater experience. I saw this movie in Massachusetts when we were visiting family. The theater was packed and I just remember my cousins, my brother and I had a hard time finding seats…I think my brother even sat on the floor?! It was one of those memories that I’ve always remembered. I miss those times that I used to spend with my cousins…everyone’s all grown up now!!

• Legally Blonde (2001)–When a blonde sorority queen is dumped by her boyfriend, she decides to follow him to law school to get him back and, once there, learns she has more legal savvy than she ever imagined. Starring Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson and Selma Blair. I don’t necessarily remember the first time I saw this movie but I do remember that this was the first movie on DVD that I ever bought/owned. I’ve seen this movie so many times and it’s always amazing!!
