First Movie That Just Blew Your Mind.

[Kfabe]

I thought it was a pretty good movie visually and the space and time travel plots were good, but they had to shoe horn in the climate change shit

When we were walking out of the Theater @Kfabe turned to me and said something along the lines of "So they had to do all that bullshit because it was dusty and the crops were sick? Wouldn't it have just been easier to fix the crops and build some decent windows?"

Total bullshit. They could build some sort of interstellar space machine but were unable to build windows and doors that kept dust out? Should have gone ahead and seen Home Alone it’s a much more believable move.

Watching Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park as a kid in the theater were pretty impressive.

As a high schooler who played football when they were released Friday night lights and any given Sunday were up there. The program, too.

I remember my (now) wife holding her hand over my mouth in the theater during the Jon lovitz nazi scene in rat race.

And during some experimental times in my youth, fear and loathing in Las Vegas, and wizard of oz while listening to dark side of the moon were pretty good too...

The original Midway. First movie in surround sound. The plains flying around the theatre is something I’ll never forget.

 

[Carlson-jet]

Faces of death.
At this point of the Darknet , it seems mundane.

David Lynch’s movies Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart - both weird-ass movies. His show Twin Peaks had a few really out there episodes too.

But the one that really caught me off guard was The Crying Game, I never saw that coming.

This will show my age but when I was a kid the 1st movie I seen that blew my mind was the ending in Planet of the Apes.

Here are some classics:
Deer Hunter
The Hills have Eyes
The Evil Dead

 

[Dan Lorenze]

For me it was "Back to the Future" simply because of the story and originality of the movie.. I also work at Universal Studios right next to the movie set. It's pretty surreal since I'm such a fan of the movie. Titanic was another movie that blew my mind.

Duel...
Dennis Weaver..
Spielberg's first movie...

Blood dripping off steering wheel @ end...1971ish...

Deliverance. Cinerama Dome theater in Hollywood. I was in shock over the Ned Beatty scene.
Also Apocalypse Now. I saw it at MGM in the Carey Grant dubbing theater. 70mm 6 track. The opening scene with the helicopters was one of the first audio pans to move from the rear to side and then across the screen to follow the helicopter movement.

Silence of the lambs!

That was my daughters first movie as an infant no less. We lived in Scottsdale and my dad was visiting. My wife wanted to see a movie. I dropped my wife and dad at the dooor and parked the car.

The movie we went to see was sold out. My wife chose Silence without knowing anything about it. So we are sitting in the theater as the plot unfolded with no clue about the type of movie. Its not a movie i would have picked even without baby in tow.

Has anyone said Jaws!!!

It freaked people out so bad that they didnt want to swim in a lake.

Have you watched it lately? Dennis Weaver deserved to be tormented by that truck - he was doing 35mph in the middle of the desert. He was a serious weenie in that movie.

Yeah that movie ended my surfing career, lol.

I'm going to say Star Wars because I was only five when it came out and I saw it in the theater.

There is a scene in Jaws where they are diving on a sunken boat. You are silently yelling at them to get out of the water cuz the shark is surely going to come eat then. Then, through a hole in the hull, a human head pops out!
I remember yelling. The next thing I remember is that I had literally jumped out of my seat. I found myself standing in the theater aisle, with everyone near by laughing at me. Shit scared me gooood.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Another movie that put me in my seat was: Alien

 

[Magic Mike]

I was 8, watching that at the theatre with my mom, when the head popped out, I think it was missing an eye, my mom screamed and grabbed this teenagers leg sitting on the other side of her that we didn't know, he started screaming too... We've laughed about it ever since!

Jaws is another. My dad bought a VCR in around 1977/8. Jaws was one of the only movies at the time. We watched it about 100 times.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...
It took me at least 10 times to finally get a good understanding of what was going on.
