I forget what theater, but I saw it opening weekend.

"It came with the frame" has been a punchline more than a few times in my life.

Loved this movie when it came out, still love it now.

It’s one of my all time favorites. Watched it on VHS for the first but have seen it at least 30 times since.

Watched it so much as a kid! One of my favorites! We had it recorded onto a Betamax tape!

Time to break out my favorite shirt

I don’t know when or where I first saw it but now canned fish on crackers is a staple of my diet

Probably saw it on VHS. My Dad probably picked it out. Such a great film.

Saw parts of it on Showtime as a kid but got around to it on Netflix a decade ago.

In Capitola, California. With my family. It was a second run so we saw it in June (probably). My dad loved it and I have great memories of that night.

Growing up, I saw it endlessly on TV. One of my absolute favorites.
The comic timing across the board is phenomenal. To this day, I quote “Carol, we don’t got that kind of time.”

My favorite Tom Hanks movie! I saw this in the theater when I was a kid and it’s stuck with me ever since. Seen it many time.

VHS recorded from a BBC broadcast around the mid nineties. Watched it so many times!

Saw it in New York on release, don't remember the theatre.

What was it like to work with Theodore?

thejoedante.bsky.social•5 days ago

A treat!

drprunesquallor.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm a big fan—saw his show twice in 20 years, it was exactly the same. 🤣 A treat to see him in the film!!

I think I first saw it on tv, maybe? Then later DVD, last time I saw it again was on Shudder! You're one of my favorite directors of all time btw, here's my review of the movie: https://downadarkalley0.wordpress.com/2024/10/15/paranoia-everywhere-the-burbs-1989-joe-dante/

I saw it in the cinema with my dad. We both loved it. Even called any odd neighbours after that the Klopeks.

delaneyplanet.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think I saw this on vhs, first time round. I’ve always loved it.

I saw it at the drive-in with my dad.

VHS rental back in the day.
I now own it on almost every format.
Still my favourite Tom Hanks film.

jeffsalzman.bsky.social•5 days ago

I first saw it back in the early 90s on cable. I’ve loved it ever since, and honestly, has gotten better as I’ve aged since I can actually relate everything now.

filmguy623.bsky.social•5 days ago

My favorite film of yours! So vastly underrated! I can't even count the number of times I've seen it.

Very proud to say I saw it in the the theater on day one!!

frankshallot.bsky.social•5 days ago

We rented it from a video shop 😀 Loved it obvs

lmefedway.bsky.social•4 days ago

I rented it from a video store in 1996.

Probably HBO on a loop. You are responsible for the beginning of my lifelong obsession with the genius of Bruce Dern.

munkeenamedchase.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oaks 10 Theater Melbourne Florida. Friends dad was manager. Also saw Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure and True Believer that night. Two all time faves and a pretty awesome legal thriller. I didn't know how good I had it.

n3il4real.bsky.social•5 days ago

Borrowed the VHS from a cousin. I watched it over and over. Rick Docoummun was really underrated.

aaronmccann83.bsky.social•4 days ago

First saw it in a cinema in Ireland with my Dad. I was 6 years old and I loved every second of it. Still watch it at least once a year for the last 10+ years or so.

rak1978.bsky.social•4 days ago

Saw it in the theatre when I was 11!

fantasticcosmic.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think HBO when I was nine and we watched it replayed so many times there that by the time I got to college in 1999 everyone in our group could just recite and weave lines seamlessly into our normal conversations.

Sardine?
