For me it’s the Shawshank Redemption, the last movie I ever watched with my dad. He really liked it.
To be determined

Junglebook (cartoon version). 'Only movie I remember my dad taking me to, just him and me.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 'cause we had to walk out of the movie theater, in the middle of it, in Fredericksburg (yeah, it actually worked at one time) on account of we had my step-grandmother with us and there were two unmarried people in bed together in the movie.
Alien. 'Saw it opening night in Highland Park, so crowded my wife (at the time) and me couldn't sit together. That was some scary....the movie, not her, well, not then at least.

Ice age, only reason is I got to keep 19 month old granddaughter Friday, never watched it before but found it on tv, she was totally enthralled, until she fell asleep in my arms, precious moments for sure!

If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

True Grit. First movie I ever saw and it was out of the back seat of our family station wagon at the drive-in. John Wayne became an instant hero in my eyes. Thought it was one of the best movies ever, and still do to a degree.

Bonnie and Clyde. A movie my Dad took me to see. My Dad grew up in that era. Also, had some distant relatives who were robbed by the real Bonnie and Clyde.

"The Deep." My parents were in Bermuda during the filming and had pictures of some of the sets, boats, and actors (Nick, Jacqueline, etc.).
Also, "Brothers at War." The only movie I've seen that captured the some of the true essence of our presence in Iraq.

Jaws We had a friend named Robert who was surfing off Big Sur in California, a huge Great White knocked him off his board and then came back and bit off both of his legs at the hip. We started calling him Bob after that

My wife would say it was Bonnie and Clyde. She grew up in North Louisiana, and her high school Home Ec teacher had been abducted by Clyde and Bonnie for a short time. And I’ll mention that the Bonnie and Clyde Museum, just off I20 in North Louisiana has some pictures of the two you have likely never seen - pictures of them while they are being embalmed. Not the greatest museum ever, but worth a visit once.

Not the best movie but I love it. Mox's girlfriends house belonged to my grandparents. My grandmother passed away during filming. The film crew were so good my family throughout.
I watched Vanderbeek throw a football at a piece of plexiglass about 40 times before he hit it dead center to simulate breaking his dad's nose. horndale

Midway. My mom took me. It was in Sensurround. Awesome! Midway here as well. It was the only movie my dad and I went to. Meant a lot to him as he fought in the Pacific during WWII.
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............

Battle Cry (1955) . They used actual US Marines as "extras" and my Grandad was one of them; and although he said he wasn't happy about doing it for free, I think he was kinda proud to be part of it.

Gardens of stone. Great cast and story. It was filmed not long after I left “The Old Guard” for Germany…. Have several friends in the movie….
