What is the One movie you wish you first saw in theaters instead on VHS/DVD.

I have one and i have to this date been really upset for not EVEN knowing about this film when it came out. :(

The Matrix

I truly wish i first saw this in theaters, and experience the lobby scene and other stuff.
What do you recall?

[WDTSF]

LOTR: FOTR

But that's OK, b/c seeing it on a normal TV and seeing how much I was missing made me know to go see the next two in theatres- it's all gravy, baby!:)

I saw all 3 LOTR movies in the theatre, so I'm cool there. But I wish I was 20 years older, so I could have seen these in their original releases:

Star Wars: A New Hope
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

i wish i first saw this in theater: THE MATRIX, OT STAR WARS.

I found out about the matrix when it came to DVD. but than there was a special screening before Reloaded and i got to see the original Matrix in OpenAir-RailwayStation-Cinema. but it wasn't the same. i knew everything and my ex-g/f was just distracting.

I also wish i first saw the Star Wars OT in theaters. would have been great i'm sure.

I saw the whole LOTR trilogy in theatre when it came out, i was very hyped cuz i loved the books. and it was a great expirience, i saw FOTR three times. and it isn't the same on DVD, i mean when you watch it in theatre it's all so bigger...you know what i mean.

and i saw Last Samurai 3 times in theatre, damn that was awesome, i bought the dvd and watched it and i don't have the same feelings like at the time...
thats why i realy love to go to cinema as often as i can,...

[WuTical]

Terminator 2

[lotrfreak]

LOTR FOTR:( Wasnt really interested in lotr till my bro dragged me to see ttt the day it came out :) fell in love right there and then
also, would have loved to see the matrix! (drolls at the thought of it that big)

[Parrish]

Probably The Excorsist

[Frizzo the Clown]

Gone With the Wind.

The scope of a movie like that can really only be appreciated on a big screen.

Dude, I feel sorry for you.
Thinking about it that was probably the first movie I ever saw at a cinema.

[obsessedwithsnl]

There's so many.

Saving Private Ryan for sure...that D-day scene would have been incredibly mind blowing...but I was only 10 at the time but still

Matrix and Jurassic Park (Actually I think I actually saw this at the theatre but I was 5 so I was probably scared to death)

[morpheus1987]

Reservoir Dogs
Saving Private Ryan

[dustindame]

FOTR at first i didnt think it was going to be my kind of movie, boy was i wrong.

[Infected Trust]

Big Fish - Wish I would have found time to see it in theatres, but I could never find a time to go, just picked it up on DVD today, so I'll be watching it soon.

Terminator 2 - I was only 7 or 8 years old when this came into theatres, so even if I did, I know I wouldn't remember it.

Fight Club - Would have loved to see/hear everyone's reaction to this movie.

[Tornado]

Star Wars OT
True Lies

Hehe I even know which OpenAir-RailwayStation Cinema you mean :D

Anyway, for me it's also The Matrix. I have no idea why I didn't go see it when it came out.

Another one is Moulin Rouge.

I wish I would have seen the first matrix in theatres, it would have made it much more special for me. although I did not see fotr in theatres when it came out, I saw the EE on trilogy tuesday so that makes up for it.

[dustindame]

i wish i would have been there to see all the original star wars.

[slinger]

Since I wasn't alive in the 70s I missed seeing SW and many other classics.

But Memento would be my pick.

[rhain]

Forrest Gump :mad:

No, I don't think they showed that where I live :(, and even if they had it couldn't have matched the thrill of seeing it when it first came out; speaking of which, Psycho is another film that would have been amazing to watch upon its first release.

[Tara]

Kill Bill vol 1
Fight Club.
FOTR (however, i did see this in the cinemas about a year after i saw it on DVD)

I know I was blown away, so glad I saw that in theatres. Oh and I agree about the Matrix, I didn't see the first one in the theatres. :(

[AndyPandy88]

Jurassic Park! My parents said I was too young... 5 years old... not TOO young...

I would have wanted to see Psycho the original in cinemas, now that would have been shocking.

[Necross]

I saw Jurassic Park but I think I was like 6 or 7.....I hide under my coat the whole time.....I think I saw about 5 minutes of the whole movie.

[Polarbear]

Terminator 2....i wish i was around for all the hype...im sure it would of been like the excitement aroud the matrix reloaded and revolutions or any of the LOTR!
