This makes me so happy I could cry:

And this one...Colbert giving the smackdown to Cookie Monster, who gave in to peer pressure and is now touting healthy food, oh sigh.

This was done back in 1966 and was the precursor to the Cookie Monster we know and love.

What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater? 
Question submitted by mainmor.

1975. I was four. And I remember being enthralled by incredible friendship that Bambi and Thumper had. And I cried and cried when his father died. It really stuck with me...the way I felt watching that movie.

Three years later I remember seeing Star Wars at the drive in, sitting on the hood of my dad's Cadillac. I was the only one besides him who didn't fall asleep in the car. 

The next movie I remember seeing in the theaters was when I was eleven (although I'm sure I saw a few more in between)--Dark Crystal. My seven-year old brother got scared though so we left the theater and snuck into ET which was just starting. Although I'm not sure why that wouldn't have scared him too.
