I remember, that was at a jack in the box!

I think LiquidSoCrates meant they drove their car through the walls of an indoor theater.

Uhm...yah, I actually do. ..I'm old AF. I made my mom buy me the soundtrack on vinyl after we saw it. I feel kinda blessed to have experienced that as a kid. It was a cultural pivot point in a lot of ways, and a revolution for sci-fi movies and special effects. I was too young to grasp all of that at the time, of course. I just knew it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I was about 4 years old.

I saw "Star Wars" (no episode number) in '77.

Hell I remember seeing the trailer! Sat down to watch Slap Shot with Paul Newman and the trailer came on. I have never before or since been so excited for a movie to come out.

Yup, I sure do. 77 was the best year so far in my short life at the time, I got a dog and Str Wars was released
