Heres a thread of meaningful/great theater experiences I've had, starting from earliest to most recent: https://twitter.com/BWDR/status/1249525840930435078
-I was to young to remember this, but apparently, A Knights Tale was the first film I ever saw in a theater because my mom was incredbily excited to see it so she took 4 month old me and my older brothers to go see it. SoI to think I'm eternally indebted to Heath Ledger.
-School of Rock, which started my still going appreciation for Jack Black
-The Spongebob Movie, the first film I ever remember being excited for
-The Spiderwick Chronicles, the first time I watched a film based on a series of books I really loved
-9, I saw this with my brothers and even though I had seen a couple of other PG-13 films b4 this I felt like I was part of the cool kids because it was kind of scary. Also was one of the first films that got me interested in visual storytelling
-Lincoln, was sort of my introduction into prestige Oscar films, also it was my favorite film for a little while
-The World's End, my first R rated film that I saw in theaters and was a great way to start
-From Up On Poppy Hill, the first foreign language film and the first anime film I saw in theaters. Also the first movie I saw in my favorite theater @TheLoftCinema
-The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, a film I was really excited for and was one of the first cases where I understood that I could really relate to a character in a film more than just superficially. Also saw it on my birthday
-The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the movie was bad but it was the first time I took a friend to go see a movie
-Birdman, a film that completely changed the way I saw film. Before this I thought it was more just a cool thing to do and this made realize how special of an artform it is
-There Will Be Blood, another game-changing film for me in the way that Birdman was
-The Force Awakens, even with how the trilogy turned out I have a lot of nostalgia with this as it was Christmas break and I was seeing some good friends in Texas
-The Hateful Eight, I saw it with my brothers who at this point I haven't seen as much as I used to and we had an amazing time
-When Marnie Was There, the first film I ever cried my eyes out watching in public
-Days of Heaven, I saw it in a museum while I was on a vacation in New York. I remember it very vividly because the movie made a huge impact on me and also I tried New York pizza not long after the screening.
-The Wild Bunch, the first film I ever saw on 70mm
-The Lobster, my experience was actually kind of strange because my parents went with me to see it and they walked out about halfway through. I still stayed for the whole thing.
-The Witch, the first film I ever snuck into
-Swiss Army Man, one of the few times where I loved the movie so much I saw it again the next day
-Dune, probably the funniest theater experience I've ever had where the audience was laughing at some of the dialogue. I think the film is much better now but that was still such a fun experience.
-Did an event at the Loft called Sci-Fi Slumber Party which was a marathon of six films (Forbidden Planet, The Fifth Element, They Live, Attack the Block, Total Recall, Laserblast and Cube) that went from 7pm to 7am
-A Town Called Panic, I worked as a volunteer at a theater that was doing a youth filmmaking program for kids like 8-12 and at the end of the week they screened this for them
-Arrival, a film I saw numerous times with numerous friends and family members
-Silence, got to this while it was still in limited release and I was just engrossed for the whole thing
-Get Out, saw this with one of my brothers who didn't know anything about before going in, he just knew it was directed by Jordan Peele and we both loved Key and Peele
-Akira, saw with one of my brothers and honestly seeing Akira in a theater is reason enough to be in this thread
