You're lucky. Terms of Endearment is the first one I remember. Lotta negative trauma around having to sit through that one.
You know you're getting old when.....

Starship Troopers was my first too! I had broken my finger in 5th grade and my dad came to pick me up and take me to the hospital, but we had an hour to kill so went over to the library. I found the sci-fi/fantasy section and was browsing through it with my ring finger off at a 45 degree angle, which got me some strange looks. I also picked up A Wizard of Earthsea, so I got my first sci-fi and first fantasy at the same time.
We also stood in line for Star Wars on opening day. I remember a few movies before that, or around that time at least, like King Kong, The Aristocrats, and Robin Hood (the one with the fox). I got separated from my mom after one of the Disney ones and for obvious reasons she freaked the fuck out. I remember just thinking I'll stand outside the doors and wait for her, which was the wrong move I guess as she and the staff were looking all over inside. I also remember getting a little chub that I didn't understand when Kong was circling his finger around Fay Wray's top.

My wife works at a school. Over the last few years they’ve had newer, younger teachers brought on. When we went to the holiday party, I had some kind of discussion with one of the teachers. I said something to the effect of “I haven’t watched basketball since the Jordan era”. She looked at me confused. I said “you know, Michael Jordan”. She just looked at me blankly and said “I don’t know who that is”. Wtf

yea i have no idea why i still have my manual can opener, this is like the first "things you buy" when you move out of home, it was included in that batch of 20 kitchen stuffs, it's old enough to rent a car

I have one of those old old school can openers that folds out and is a spike that you slide around the can. Then you slit your wrist with the jagged edge of the can and the tin top. I'd throw it out but you know, fallout end of the world shit I may need it.
