The moments may have ended but memories last forever. In this post, I am taking you all down a memory lane with all my first movies at different stages of life. I am sharing my movie memories.
Childhood movie memories-
My parents were both movie buffs and they used to watch all the movies in theatres. I still remember my dad didn’t like getting late for a movie as he didn’t want to even miss an advertisement which is shown before movies. One thing my dad passed on, intentional or not, was his love of movies to us.
My first memory of a movie with them is watching “Masoom” when I was just 5 years old. I still remember there was a long line to get in. More than the movie, I was interested in the popcorn while watching the big screen. I also remember seeing, “Hum aapke hain kaun” when I was 14 or 15 years old, and I fell in love with Madhuri Dixit right there and then.
In college movie memories-
My first movie memory with my college friends is also very special. In the first year of graduation, I was in a hostel and we all got first outing on a Sunday. So, we planned our first movie outing and watched, ‘Khamoshi’. It was special as it was our first movie in a new city with new friends and without our parents.
After marriage –
After marriage, we planned to watch a movie on a weekend but didn’t get tickets at the last minute for most of them and ended up watching “Planet of the apes‘. So, yes, our first movie together was ‘Planet of the apes’ and we still laugh about it.
As a mom,
My first movie memory with my elder one is of ‘Finding Nemo‘ which we all loved and we still love watching it. She was obsessed with the movie for some time and would watch it anywhere and anytime. She would not even move while watching it.
Memories! There’s not much that can make you smile, make you happy, and get you nostalgic like a trip down memory lane. These were some of my movie memories with my parents, husband, friends, and kids. Now it’s your turn to share your movie memories with us.

Gosh! This one is like a puzzle to me. I remember watching DDLJ, KKHH, HAHK with Mum. I have never been a movie buff and I am also very ignorant when it comes to movies. No fancy memories but I remember we watched DDLJ sitting in what was called DC cos there were no balcony tickets available. 😛

NIce post, Deepa! I wish I could recall my #moviememories, but can’t now. Nevertheless, it was wonderful travelling back in time to all your cherished moments when you watched something special with someone special. Little moments that brings back a slice of life from the past, no?

It was fun reading about your love for movies, right from your childhood to that of your children! I too remember how my brother hated it if I got late in getting ready for a movie and he had to miss the beginning, or even the advertisements because of me!
November 22, 2016 at 10:06 pm

Those are all such lovely movies 🙂 I still feel Khamoshi was so underrated. Remember how those songs would be on Philips Top 10 for months? 😀
November 23, 2016 at 10:09 pm
I agree Roshan..loved khamoshi and all the songs but sadly it didn’t do good at box office. Thanks a lot for reading 🙂

I love movies too!! My daughter and I love watching movies by Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli Japanese animated films. The first movie at the cinema I took her to was a Halloween movie called Hotal Transylvania which she loved!
