Star Wars 1977!
In 1977 my mother told me my play aunt who worked for a local radio station in promotions had 2 movie tickets to a new movie. She said, it was a closed showing at 20th Century Fox Studios in Century City in the Directors room, did I want the tickets. I said, what is the movie called? She said, 'Star Wars'. I said, OK. I thought it was going to be a comedy like 'Blazing Saddles'. I called my friend Glenn. He had a car and drove to the studio. We sat in the back row, middle, everyone else was adults and it was only about 50 people. The movie was in THX Sound. Never heard of that. When the spaceship crossed the screen, since then he and I have been blown away for at least 4 1/2 decades. We were among the first people on the planet earth to see Star Wars. To this day, I have never seen anything NEW that blew me away like that. We walked out stunned. Not a word on the way home and the rest is history.
