The biggest movie event of your life

I thought you didn't like superhero movies.

The Exorcist
Saving Private Ryan

Kind of bummed out, but I don't think I have one.

My mouth dropped wide open when I received a VHS copy of Space Jam for my 8th birthday, also provided with a promotional movie coin embedded with the Looney Tune characters and Michael Jordan, which I have both to this day, one of the few tapes I still hold in my collection.

It hurt later knowing that Mr. Jordan is not a person I would want to meet in real life; makes fun of other players, including his own team mates, a spiteful individual even after his professional career is over, making bad draft pick choices for his Charlotte Hornets team as to make large short-term money deals, and regularly cuts people off during interviews. Still, all of this does not diminish my enjoyment of the movie, even if it's no cinematic masterpiece.

I wasn't born when it came out but Halloween (1978) is a movie that people still rave about.

no ones mentioned Aliens!
16 years after the original , and the hype made it look awesome , and it was!
Too bad I first saw it on a pirated vhs tape

For me it was when the original Jurassic Park hit theatres. We waited in line for hours. That and the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. (I bet PeteRose is with me on that one)

Jaws - 75
ET - 82
Batman -89
Spider-Man 2002
