I'm sure there were others, but the first one I consciously remember (down to where in the theater we sat, what my dad bought to eat, and how we all felt about it) was Nightmare Before Christmas. I would have been nine at the time, which seems old, but money was tight and we rarely went to the theater. My dad owned a tv/vcr/electronics repair shop so we had a decent vhs collection to cycle through when we wanted a media fix. He needed the tapes to test the vcrs and he always had about 50 in rotation so that let to a business expense that my brother and I got to enjoy. On the flip side, we considered watching tv at the shop all day during summer vacation to be horribly boring and would bring books and drawing supplies instead. It's kind of funny, my friends never understood that, but since the tvs had to be running anyway it just felt like we were being forced to watch, so we didn't want to. I also recall building some pretty amazing box forts with him.
