I don't remember watching it but my mom told me the first movie I ever saw, was Harry Potter, which probably explains my love for all things fantasy :D

This is a tricky question because while I remember some things I’m unsure of the order. I remember watching the beginning of the first Harry Potter film at camp. I remember watching the Sound of Music with my mom (which is probably the first movie memory). But I also watched a lot of kids movies from Disney and I remember watching Big Bird Goes to China. My first film in Cinema though I know was Finding Nemo and I had to be escorted out of the theater because the sharks scared me.

The first film I remember watching in 2004 was "Saw," which was a horror film directed by James Wan.

I feel like the Power Rangers movie was a film that accompanied my childhood. It often aired on TV when I was little and became a routine I always looked forward to.

Hey Indians do you remember when doordarshan was the only source of entertainment. I remember watching "Mela" on a sunday evening somewhere around 2002

I remember it quite clear to this day. My parents finally had a date-movie night and I invited myself in. It was Alien (1979), I don´t know how they allow me in, but the scene where it hatches from the man´s belly still lives with me. Great movie, haven´t seen it again though =)
