I remember being in the pool one day and the water started shaking. Looked up and there was a B-36 being escorted by 4 B-52s (nose, tail, both wings). The news reported it as the last B-36 making its last flight out of Carswell around the DFW area.

Field of Dreams
I lost my Dad to cancer when I was in my early 20s, he in his early 50s. I literally sobbed when the Kevin Costner character and his father had a game of catch at the end of the movie. That brought (and still brings) a lot of sweet memories. |

I was too broke to see movies when I was a kid. Now none of them interest me. Last edited by DAB; 07-30-2014 at 9:13am. Reason: Spell |

Did you see Texasville? It's the sequel to that movie. Not as good as TLPS but it was still a good movie. If you're a fan of the original, it's a must-see. |

The Blob with Steven McQueen. I believe that was the first movie I saw (age 11) where I experienced some anxiety watching it.
The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston, probably the one that sticks with me the most. Favorite war movie, Kelly's Heroes, Crapgame, Big Joe, Oddball, Moriarity, and the spaghetti western scene where Eastwood, Savales, and Sutherland walk towards the German tanker with the The G B U type music playing..........

The summer that featured Jaws and Star Wars (the original) was pretty memorable for me. Jaws scared the crap out of me, and Star Wars was just so ground breaking for the time.

Growing up I had a copy of Top Gun on VHS that I watched about a million times. I couldn't have cared less about the plot and would fast forward through the "boring" parts. I just loved those badass F-14s.
...and I have no doubt that movie achieved it's goal and played a significant role in me joining the Navy a decade later. When I joined, I had full intention of becoming a pilot but as fate would have it, my timing was terrible and that didn't happen. When I got commissioned they were in the process of retiring the F-14s which meant all of those guys were headed to the 18s. In short, an abundance of fighter jocks meant that pretty much 100% of incoming pilots went to either helos or props. If I couldn't fly a jet, I had no interest in being a pilot... so I checked the box next to SWO. As it turned out my choice was a good one as not a single person in any of the flight school classes that I could have potentially been in got a jet seat. I guess some things just aren't meant to be. |

mine is Jaws, we were on vacation on the St Lawrence water, parents took us kids to see that movie. scared the chit out of me. next day i`m water skiing and i fell. no big deal,but they didnt see me fall. they drove of until i couldnt see the boat. then while trying to swim to the shoreline i remembered the movie.i about drowned, panicked and if it was for a good Samaritan my parents would have lost me.needless to say for the rest of the vacation not even my toe got wet.
Even today, when i go to the gulf or daytona beach i still think of that movie. also never watched that movie ever again. |

As far as single scenes go, and this is obscure, in Peggy Sue Got Married, she answers the phone and hears her grandmother on the other end. If I could talk to my grandparents today, it would be absolutely the best thing ever.

Magnum Force.
It was the 1st R rated movie I seen. Early 1970's. I also agree with Jaws. 1st time I stood in line for a movie. Probably the 1st time I stood in line for anything. |
