My dad died late last year and the last movie we saw together in a theater was Oppenheimer. He was in rapidly failing health by then but he was enthralled with it from start to finish so maybe that’s going to end up being my most cherished movie memory

Watching Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter on a second date with my now-wife, and laughing our heads off as the vampire starts throwing horses at Lincoln during a stampede.

I had the entire theater to myself for Naked Lunch. I kept changing seats to confuse the projectionist.

It’s wild how much that story disappoints me in my soul

Somewhere between July 9-14th, 1999, the AMC I used to work at in Tulsa received its canisters of The Blair Witch Project. My best friend ran the projectors and knew I wanted to see it. We had a private screening, just like, 10 people. I had been spoiled. But that movie broke my fright bone.

I saw American Beauty in the theater. I kissed a boy for the first time while the movie was rolling. 110F outside and we were in the cold blissful darkness. He was a bad kisser, but I was excited to be kissed. When the gun entered the frame, the power went off. They had to kick us out.

THE WHOLE SHAKER

My freshman year in the dorms a bunch of us gathered to watch Princess Bride and there was this gal I liked but she had several potential suitors but she chose to sit next to me and we chatted and laughed through the whole movie and we've been married for 20 years next May.

👏👏👏👏 That’s what I’m talking about. Flawless victory.

That’s perfect. Every detail. I kissed Nikki for the first time during Iron Man 2. Far and away my favorite movie going kiss.
