The Very First Movie You've Watched

I was 4 years old. I had no idea what a movie was, and of course at that age, everything is new and magical and amazing.

So with that in mind, try to appreciate this:

My dad took me to an IMAX theatre, (yes, I said IMAX)...

...to see The Empire Strikes Back.

To say I was blown away only hints at my condition.

I have loved movies in general, and the old Star Wars movies in particular, ever since.

indeed it was still is for anyone that might see it as their first movie experience and because of that movie i have been a craig t.nelson fan ever since.

i hated looking under my bed for several months afterwards and i developed a weird fascination with t.v. channels that were like in the movie or all blurred up lol.

good times

noooooo i haven't seen maniac is coming out this year? next perhaps? i am looking so forward to see that lol

naw its one of a dozen or so movies i can watch over and over again and joe spinell gives me chills his portrayal is so realistic......i could go on and on but i will leave that for another time.

Maniac is such an underrated classic.

I'm very excited, but at the same time, very skeptical, of Elijah Wood as Frank Zito. Aside from Spinell's allstar performance, his intimidating appearance helped skyrocket the excellence of that movie. I fear the remake is going to fail, since I'm fairly confident your average woman could whoop his ass.

and to me joe spinell on this performance alone proved himself to be one of the most underrated actors ever its bonechilling how realistic he is in maniac(i'd put him on a top 10 most underrated actors list) his work in rocky, taxi driver, and nighthawks although not very meaty roles he always made the most of it and his screen time

me too in regards to elijah wood and i hate yes hate the fact a remake is coming out but i have always been an elijah wood fan i respect his body of work and he does have the range to pull this off i just feel its one classic that shouldn't have been touched

lol i know every fan says that about some classic favorite of theirs but some just shouldn't be remade just my honest opinion

[Jason]

I'm all for remakes, but they're too frequent. It feels like every film is going to be remade at some point.
