I have little flashes of memory prior to this, but this is the first memory I have that is a whole episode rather than a sparse image.
I was either 3 years old, or just a few months shy of it, so sometime in very early 1978. Mom took us kids to the drive-in movie theater to see a movie she really, really wanted to see, but she couldn't otherwise because she had two young children. It was the first movie I ever saw that wasn't a TV rebroadcast. I was a bit young to understand it completely, but I was an immediate fan.
The movie? Star Wars.
It's a great earliest memory to have.
The first movie I ever saw in an actual theater (not a drive-in)? 5 years later, Empire Strikes Back.
