Same for me with seeing Return of the Jedi first in cinema.
I’m sure we watched lots of films together as an f-unit, but the only one that kinda brought us together was Grease. Bogan stepdad loved it, as did ‘us girls’
At college, my girlfriend and I were obsessed with The Adventures of Ford Fairlane - Rock and Roll Detective. We had a videoezy (?) copy on tape... god i still love it. Wanted to name my dog Zuzu Petals but was vetoed.
The VCR opened up the possibility to finally watch Empire Strikes Back (my first was Return of the Jedi at the movies, and Star Wars was always on TV), but the first family movies were the Herbie series. We went bananas for Herbie Goes Bananas.
Dad was a big fan of the Terrance Hill and Bud Spencer movies so we watched all of them, 8 year-old me wondering why on earth two guys with English names couldn't speak English and needed (very bad) over-dubbing. Occasionally we'd find an Electric Blue video stashed away behind the TV ('cos kids never look behind a TV eh).
Lol - this is very similar to my life; saw Return of the Jedi at the cinema and then in reverse for the others - on TV and video. Loved the Terrance Hill and Bud Spencer films; still do. Many of them are on Amazon Prime.
Oh yeah, we're the same age - lol. Obvious really init :)

I've often thought Ford Fairlane would play terribly now - esp to any first-watchers. I think I'll keep my memory of it strong from back in the day ;)
