Really been that long? - Blu-ray Forum

dbzlotrfan · 03-17-2011, 04:45 AM

Have any of you noticed it (has) seemed so long since some of the movies we own now were in theaters?

Such as me seeing V for Vendetta in theaters in New-Mexico when I was 17 (now I'm ~21). Seems so long ago

The day after tomorrow
Spiderman 1 & 2
Shrek 1 & 2
Toy Story 1 & 2
Back to the Future 1 - 3
Lord of the rings (Fellowship, two towers, Return of the king)
Men-In-Black & MIB 2
Office space
Princess bride

What-ever-else you can think of. It just seems so long even though some are from the last decade.

LoTR, all 3. can't believe the last one came out in 2003, seems like just yesterday people were saying LoTR would never become movies.

I remember seeing Heat four times in theaters back 1995, if feels like yesterday.

I remember seeing the 2nd Matrix movie with my friends and my 9th grade biology teacher!

(She was one of the coolest teachers I ever had.)

Lucky I was to young at the time.

Seems like just yesterday I was standing in line with my friends and my highschool algebra teacher were standing in line for Revenge of the Sith's midnight show...back in 05. I was a freshman.

I'm 21 now...but it seems like yesterday.

And before that, a group of my friends and I went to see Matrix Reloaded, opening day, in seventh grade...But I remember it so vividly. I can't believe it's been that long...

Mid 90's for most of you is the oldest and you feel it was a lifetime ago????? I saw Star Wars in theaters back in 1977

I must be ancient in your eyes

dbzlotrfan · 03-18-2011, 03:22 PM

Bump . . . would be interesting to have some of (these) on blu if they were even on it.

Chordata · 03-18-2011, 03:27 PM

They're all on blu (or soon to be in the case of SW)...

bkbluray · 03-18-2011, 04:12 PM

I remember seeing Home Alone as one of my first movies in the theater, and it was awesome. I loved the traps Kevin set throughout the house.

On another note, I distinctly remember seeing the Tom and Jerry movie, in which I went with several of my cousins and my Grandma, and I was the only one not asleep at the end. Come to think of it, a group of us also went to see Carpool with Tom Arnold, which was pretty terrible, lol. My Grandma was never known as making the best movie choices, lol

But she treated us all very well

Beta Man · 03-18-2011, 04:15 PM

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was a blast at the theater...... If a theater re-played it during Christmas, I'd go in a heartbeat!

Chordata · 03-18-2011, 04:18 PM

I can't believe it's been 5 years since Casino Royale was released. Seems just like a year or so.

Moefiz · 03-18-2011, 04:21 PM

It mean the we are getting older

and the time is flying by.

+1 Absolutely! One of the funniest Christmas movies period, and one of the two best National Lampoon's!

SpaceDog · 03-18-2011, 04:50 PM

While I'm sort of floored that LOTR is coming on 10 years old, I'm far more impacted at the age of other films I saw on their initial release.

Empire Strikes Back
Back to the Future
Batman
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

When movies I grew up with start celebrating their 25th and 30th anniversaries - I'm not as young as I used to be.

Taipan · 03-18-2011, 05:08 PM

I remember seeing ET with friends. I remember that one more vividly than Star Wars, but I went back a few times to see Star Wars. We even bought the soundtrack on vinyl.

Grand Bob · 03-18-2011, 05:33 PM

It has been 43 years since I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in the theater, the special effects are still legit, despite the fact they weren't computer-generated in those days. Incredible. A few years later when I was 18, I remember feeling sorry for my sister-in-law when she turned 28, because I thought that was old.

Sonny · 03-18-2011, 05:43 PM

This Oct it will of been 5yrs since I bought my first BD player.

Not that 5yrs is a long time, unless your in the joint... but for BD it is.
