Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles The first movie I remember seeing in a movie theater is Disney's 'The Fox and the Hound'. Left me weeping and, uncontrollably actually. I think it must have been Walt Disney. Small town in Ohio, with only one movie theater and I think it was probably 'Pinocchio' or 'Snow White'. 'The Rescuers'. That Disney film. About, sort of chipmunk people who go and save people in hot-air balloons and stuff. Swiftly followed by 'Beauty and the Beast'. Oh, my Gosh. 'Beauty and Beast'. Probably was a Disney film, it was probably maybe 'Beauty and the Beast'? Or something like that? And I remember they had someone dressed as Belle and someone dressed as The Beast at the premiere and I was terrified of The Beast. I mean, I was like crying in my Mom and Dad's arms, but I loved the film. I found it incredibly sad that the fox and the hound couldn't be friends forever. But it's been - that balance has been redressed with 'Zootopia', where foxes and rabbits can live in the same place. That's how far we've come. It's either 'The Little Mermaid' or 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'. 'All Dogs Go To Heaven'. That was my first one. I also, growing up in Ireland, our town did not have a movie theater so we had to travel to go see that. 'Them!' It was a science fiction movie where ants became giant here in Los Angeles. So, the first movie I remember seeing in a movie theater, and you're probably not gonna believe me when I say that I remember this, was 'E.T.' My father woke me and my brother up, we were wearing pajamas, and took us to see 'Return of the Jedi'. And it was unbelievable. I remember vividly my Mom taking me to see 'Lawrence of Arabia' in the movie theater. I remember everything about the place, especially about her and how into the movie she was and I was too. The first movie I saw in a movie theater that really impressed me was 'Starman'. And I got to tell Jeff Bridges that recently, which was cool. Yeah, I have memories of this. I do. And... Let me crash this interview because she was sitting on my lap. And I wondered if she could actually follow a movie, I wasn't 100% sure but I loved 'E.T.' so much. And she literally, as the boys were flying across the moon and John Williams' music was playing she said "ET fly!" And it was the first time that I ever knew that she could actually follow the story of a movie. 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'? Was that it? Yeah, really excited about it. Went home and immediately started re-enacting all the different scenes. Really, uh, really quite dangerous actually. Shouldn't have done that.
