The Matrix.

All the Lord of the Rings movies.

I don’t know of any more.

I never really liked theaters and usually waited for things to come out on video.

Streaming, not video, but you know.

I can’t really think of any iconic movies I saw in the theater,

Ones that I thought were iconic anyway.

I also saw The Lion King in theaters as a kid.

Oh, and Apollo 13.

Napoleon Dynamite,

Sorry if you don’t think it’s iconic, but it is.

My mom lived close to a drive in and saw all the good 70/80s movies there.

I’m super jelly.

I was in theatres a lot up until home video became a thing, at which point I probably quit on 95% of movies played in them. Have only been to a theatre once since streaming became common.

All three LOTR movies. Quite a few of the Harry potters and I’m not sure if I saw it in theaters or if it just had a huge impact on me but the first Matrix movie. Anyway that one blew my mind when I was little.

Dr. Zhivago. I was obsessed with it and saw it a couple times and walked all the way home from downtown, to the suburbs at night after seeing it when I was around 10.
