Ghostbusters. -- The scene in the beginning of the movie where the fraudster paranormal investigators actually meet their first ghost. It's an old ghost librarian attempting to read a book in peace. The investigators are stunned, ghosts actually exist! This has never happened before, so they are at loss for what to do. Full of excitement, they decide to make contact...

I was in the theater with my parents and little sister. At the climax of that scene my sister threw up everywhere! It was the scariest thing ever, the then impressive special effects in stereo with my sister's spontaneous spew. I was running for my life. I dashed down the aisle several seats and jumped up in the chair to avoid getting caught in the torrent. How a little girl could produce such an ample volume I'll never know, but I do remind her every chance I get. ;)

I remember watching Star Wars at the cinema and I was so excited, that by the start of the attack on the Death Star, I had to run to the toilet to pee. The fastest urination on record!
I was 38 (no, really I was 6!)

I really envy you old guys for having been able to watch the classics in cinema, today we mostly have hundreds of variatons of Michael Bay explosion orgies in 3D for about 10€ per ticket in the big cinemas and I'd have to look for ages to find a good movie in some nieche theater, so I've built my own at home.

Sin City

The scene where hardigan fucks up that yellow bastard. No mercy had and no fucks given.

The Ending of The Dark Knight

Brilliant use the crescendo and a perfect cut to black after Gary Oldman's line. Excellent.

Was the best theatre experiance for years until I saw Fury Road.

Fury Road

After Nux straps Max onto the car and when he fights Furiosa, culminating in 3 rounds spent around her head to drive the point home. Thrilling and perfectly choreographed. The energy jacked you up and strapped you onto the hood of the proverbial V8 that was Fury Road.

The reigning champion of movie going experiances.

I laugh at LOTR alot now, but I saw those in theatres multiple times because I love epic and grand scale movies. I'd be down for a movie with a 5 hour runtime no problem.

Watched Gandalfs charge at the Battle of the Hornburg in a packed cinema. It was goose pimpling epic.



oh yah, and Gladiators blood splattering goodness on a huge screen with the audience freaking out beside was a very fond moment.

The whole of Jurassic Park was just...majestic!

Un chien andalou
Freaks - at least missing/deleted scenes..

Actually I was in a night club showing the Gladiator on the big screen. It was some form of costume night (not halloween) and they had a "roman" theme going on. A couple of the bouncers were dressed up in actual costumes from the set of the movie and some of the girls were in togas. Anyways, they put Gladiator on the screen, running through the night.

At one point, the crowd in the movie is going WILD. The volume in the club is CRANKED. Then, in the most seamless transition I have EVER experienced in audio.... THUNDER.. .... THUNDER.. THUNDER.. THUNDER..

To say the fucking club blew the fuck up would be an understatement.

A night to remember.

that sounds most epic!, wish i had been there

I remember some scenes from "6th sense" that were really spooky in the theater. And I mean REALLY (for some reason the pink bathrobe scene comes to my mind).

I am sure it will be fine - hey, I recap Lawrence on DVD without any frills then and again - but there is nonetheless still something to be said about Paris or other such cities, which have vibrant enough movie scene to allow for 70mm experience @silver screen proper for films that are not current block-busters.

I also have not forgotten the matinée performance where a young boy did not desist stop crying, despite harsh feedback from his mother, because the poor lad found the ice queen of this Russian animation classic too scary. The said queen did freeze living creatures at sight, thou, so I understand the lad! :-)

Should my pined after Lion King be programmed unto a "retro showing" - I'll be there, at the theatre!
