    First Movie Theater Experience
    This is the First film I remember going to see, and is the first film that my sister saw as well. I must have been extremely young, since i have only a faint memory of the movie, although I do remember that we accidentaly sat down to watch The Incredible Hulk Instead, before realising we'd gone into the wrong theater.
