Made it to the Theater for it
by BatStarIndyFreak | created - 23 May 2012 | updated - 07 Mar 2022 | PublicThis will take some days to complete it, but it's partly to get a curious count. Up until I was about 7 my parents took us 5 boys to the theater about 5 times a year, and I wonder if it was my freaking out at Raiders of the Lost Ark (at 7) that made that less of a regular venture. Theater movies from age 7-15 were pretty sparse at about 1-3 times per year, but I've enjoyed many in-theater movies that I think it's worth making the list. "X" is meant to indicate multiple theater visits.
