Earliest theater memory: The Great Mouse Detective
Favorite movie recent release: Sorry to Bother You (runner up: Knives Out)
Movie for which you have had the dialog memorized: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Note: My first movie theater-related memory is The Great Mouse Detective. I don't recall actually watching it. I was six. I vividly remember my father and mother driving through a torrential downpour to get to the theater. And we were late, which would mimic so many other family events in my youth. My first actual memory of being inside a theater watching a movie was Masters of the Universe (which I never knew until today does not actually have "He-Man" in the title) and The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, which came out within the same month in 1987.
Also: I have a lot of difficulty defining "favorite movie." From an artistic perspective, I think Lilja 4-Ever is the best film I've ever seen. But it's so unbelievably depressing, and in such a matter-of-fact way, that I probably can never watch it again. I'm not sure if I can call a film I literally can't watch my "favorite," but it is the best film I've ever seen from a "I respect what this film does and how it does it" perspective.

* i am not actually that young but it very much reminds me of my youth. Just mentioning it does.
Galaxy Quest should get special mention because it could fill multiple slots. Its definitely the movie i have watched the most of any movie and have the dialog most memorized
Favourite movie: Fight Club - but I think you can't pick a movie that's recent (less than half your movie watching life) to be your favourite movie, regardless of category. There's movies I've enjoyed more, and that are better made - but they've been replaced or forgotten in the meantime. If it's better than half of the films you've seen, then it's the one to beat as your tastes change.

Favourite Christmas Movie: Die Hard, but only because the 80's spot was taken and this is a worthless category. Muppet's Christmas Carol is in second.
Favourite sequel: Aliens
Earliest theatre memory: Mrs Doubtfire I think. I had to look this up, that's definitely the first time I remember going to the cinema but at the same time I remember remembering that this cinema wasn't as nice as before, so it might have been the Little Mermaid.
Favourite movie recent release: Into the Spiderverse - only one I've seen again and enjoyed. There's a lot of others that I've liked but not done either of those two things.

Flash Gordon is amazing. Not an inch of scenery survives its cast. Sam J. Jones is the weakpoint, but it's just the perfect camp movie.
I think my favourite line reading is Topol's Dr. Zarkov attempting to force his assistant to board the untested rocket to Mongo and telling him to "Get your toothbrush and whatever."
A Flash Gordon, Rocky Horror Picture Show double-bill would be good times.

Reading my list, I notice Spielberg is on there three times. Hanks is on there twice. Surprisingly the actor on there the most, even if it's not a starring role, is Rick Moranis.

So my parents were pretty good at filtering movies our family saw for content when I was young kid. Except this one time we went to blockbuster and got Raising Arizona thinking it was like 3 men and a baby. My parents were pissed but weren't going to spend 4$ on a rental and not watch it.

I now realize he's really an excellent comedic actor, up there with Bill Murray, with much greater range than Bill, who is honestly kinda one note.
Rick Moranis is a fucking delight, and imagine what we could have had from him over the last twenty years if tragedy hadn't intervened.
I remember hating The Avengers when it came out, but I was (am) a pretty big fan of the series. Especially the Diana Rigg years. I wonder if it'd be more likeable now that I'm considerably more laid back about people "ruining" things. I think the film's biggest problem was that the writers were going for the classic characters, but Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes just lack the... charm?
Since lot of independent/art house theaters have closed operations for the time being, many have been partnering with film makers and a variety of one-off streaming services, with a part of the ticket prices going to the theater. I rented one (Phoenix, Oregon) last week with my local being the beneficiary. Seems like a good way to support both the theaters and the films who were slated to run this and the next many months.
All of them are backed by various steaming providers, but as long as you can cast to your TV it works pretty good. The theater web sites should have the info of where to go. I don't think there is a central listing. Just make sure you are stocked up on Braggs, brewers yeast and local craft soda. (Actually, our local brewery has started selling Crowlers- half growlers in cans: I'd never heard of them before, and that has been amazing. But, that is a post for a different thread.)

I'm not sure that's possible.
On a related note, Brian Blessed is a god damned treasure, and it's a crime that he never got to play Professor Challenger in a film.
I think my favourite line reading is Topol's Dr. Zarkov attempting to force his assistant to board the untested rocket to Mongo and telling him to "Get your toothbrush and whatever."
A Flash Gordon, Rocky Horror Picture Show double-bill would be good times.
I quote "I can do anything, I'm the chief of police" so often that I no longer even really think about it. It's just part of my standard lexicon.

Rick Moranis is a fucking delight, and imagine what we could have had from him over the last twenty years if tragedy hadn't intervened.
Like...
?
I remember hating The Avengers when it came out, but I was (am) a pretty big fan of the series. Especially the Diana Rigg years. I wonder if it'd be more likeable now that I'm considerably more laid back about people "ruining" things. I think the film's biggest problem was that the writers were going for the classic characters, but Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes just lack the... charm?
All of them are backed by various steaming providers, but as long as you can cast to your TV it works pretty good. The theater web sites should have the info of where to go. I don't think there is a central listing. Just make sure you are stocked up on Braggs, brewers yeast and local craft soda. (Actually, our local brewery has started selling Crowlers- half growlers in cans: I'd never heard of them before, and that has been amazing. But, that is a post for a different thread.)
