I remember when Raiders of the Lost Ark came out, I had already seen it at least twice and I took a chance and took my parents to see it. I wanted to kind of pay them back for all the years they took me to the movies, even ones a kid like me probably shouldn't have seen at my age, like Serpico and Death Wish, but then again there weren't many shows that talked about ratings or how rough the movies were back in the 70s. There were newspaper reviews but my parents rarely read the entertainment section. But, I digress. I talked them into seeing Jaws and Star Wars, hoping they would like them as much as I did but they didn't care for either. So I just knew they'd love RotLA. And I took them in my own car as I was old enough by this time to have been driving for many years. And to my delight, they loved it! So, even haven seen it twice before, seeing it with my now-gone parents was an experience I treasure, which pushed it up even further on my list for all-time. Sometimes its the event of going and who you were with that make the movie even more fun or memorable, even when the movie is good to begin with.
