Beautifully done, Alex. This piece made me remember all the movies I saw with my mother as a child. My Mom loved musicals, so she took me to see my first movie, "Mary Poppins" and then films like "The Sound of Music," "Dr. Doolittle," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Scrooge." Afterwards, we would buy the soundtrack albums and sing along to the records at home. She enjoyed that as much as seeing the films.
Ahh, you saw Scrooge! Excellent. We still watch it most Christmases, I really think people who have not seen it are missing out. Thank you for sharing, Jim, and for the kind words.
Not sure any of us plan how we’d react in a medical emergency, happy for all how well you did. Can’t remember the first movie I saw with my late mother but the most memorable has to be Don’t Look Now. Shown late one evening on TV she allowed both me & my late brother to watch with her (neither of us yet teenagers, our parents never age restricted our consumption of movies, books, TV). Needless to say both of us were terrified by the final murder and murderer. After going to bed she called us downstairs where we were again terrified by the sight of her with her back to us on her knees in the hallway with a red anorak on!
That's a heavy one to take in at such a tender age! It's funny how those early exposures imprint themselves so vividly, and how we remember not only what we saw, but who we saw it with. Thank you for sharing, Paul.
I definitely owe my love for movies to my parents, and especially to my mom for exposing me to so many different genres of films, sometimes even a little advanced for my age (e.g. Blue Velvet). My first memory of being in the cinema with my mother was in Disney's Fantasia, I also remember being with her in The Purple Rose of Cairo, Jeff Daniels and Mia Farrow coming in and out of the screen made a huge impression on me. I still have a vivid memory of seeing my mom crying with laughter in the theater with the Marx Brothers in A Night at the Opera. Great times...

"Scrooge" is still my favorite Christmas movie and I watch it at least once every holiday season :)
