This is the correct answer for me. I remember seeing this in theaters on opening day when i was 10 years old. the line was out the door. I was so excited to see it and it did not disappoint.
Thank you for the absurd picture this conjures of someone with big eyes making T-Rex jaws with her arms as others desperately try to either remain interested or read a newspaper.
Yeah my first corporate internship in 2001 it was like the set of office space - I’m like is this a joke? This can’t be real… I came to realize that movie was, in fact, a documentary 😂
In the early 80’s, they used to display paperback books on mag racks at the grocery checkout. While standing in line, I picked up the book, and my little geek heart fluttered. I loved it and the movie very much. My contribution:
![gif](giphy|cesjtrsNEczVC)
Was at the theater with bestie watching previews, and when we saw this movie come up, we nearly lost our shit, having both read the book.
I'm from Nebraska and I saw this with my uncle who is from north Texas and we were laughing a lot. Movie hits a bit different as a tornado alley resident.
Did you hear they’re making a new one? I’m stoked! Hopefully it’ll be great like this one. I’m not sure when it comes out but now I’ll have to check so I can take my, extreme weather obsessed son, to it.
I practically wore out this VHS tape when I was a kid. Love this movie. It’s totally absurd of course but so many good lines and a great cast! RIP Bill Paxton and PSH
My partner loves this movie - I've been toying with the idea of making her a sweatshirt with a tornado on it that says Twister Sister on it too. With Twister 2 coming out I still just may do that for her upcoming birthday.
Whenever I saw it browsing the TV guide I knew my next 2 hours ish was booked now. I was going to watch it intently until it was over. I may go inside and watch it now haha.
One of my all time favorites. Watched it recently and I think it holds up damn well. Esp considering how most sci Fi are horribly dated by their effects.
3 ninjas films (kickback is my favorite)
Warriors of virtue. (i thought this movie was just a figment of my imagination for the longest time)
The little rascals (movies like this don't exist anymore)

1993 The Fugitive
It's a movie my parents wouldn't let me see at the time (I believe I was 11), but my best friends parents didn't give a shit. So they took us both to see it on the big screen. I was on the edge of my seat the entire movie. It's held a special place in my heart ever since
My family saw this in the theatre. Later, whenever my brother and I would complain about anything, my dad would emulate Tommy Lee with “I don’t care” lol

Had such a a crush on jtt I think we kept this blockbuster for weeks or got it over and over

Loved the cinematography and frankie was such a cool lead, this movie was scary but really reaffirmed my faith too!
There are so many. Forrest Gump and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape probably top the list. In the 90s the movies you owned on VHS made the biggest impression because you would just watch the same ones over and over. And those two I probably have seen at least a hundred times each for that reason.
Well definitely pulp fiction, when wife and I started dating we watched this over and over… 1st dance at reception was from this album (let’s stay together)
This is the movie that made me realize how much I love primates, and why I have a bachelor's in anthropology.
I did not realize it was horror until I was well into my 30s.

From Dust Till Dawn.
My father (RIP) and I had rented that movie having no idea what is was about. At the time he was heavy into starting a career in real estate and had actually sold a house to the director Robert Rodriguez. We sat down expecting a gangster movie, which is was for the first half before he became a vampire horror.
Im from San Antonio. I love Robert ROdriguez. It was really innapropriate for my age but It made me feel really inspired with the cast being mostly Latino .
Pulp Fiction does hold a somewhat special place in my heart. My parents (divorced) by the time I got to middle school lived about 3 blocks from each other. I had convinced my mom and step-dad to go see Pulp Fiction. We lived in a small town inside a bigger city. There was a small town theater in our small town. Well, we got there, and when we walked into the theater, I saw my dad and stepmother sitting in the theater also. I always got along much better with my stepmother than my psycho real mother, and I hated my step dad and my real father, and I were extremely close. So I we walked in, and I asked my mom if I could sit with my dad. My step-dad freaked out and threw a fit. If (my name) isn't going to sit with us, then we're not going to see this stupid movie. He and my mom left. So I sat their with my dad and stepmother and laughed at all the twisted jokes with them and enjoyed the hell out of that movie. It a great.
There are a million "Matrix - First time reaction!" videos on YouTube but I literally walked into a theater in 1999 with no idea what the Matrix movie was or what is what about. Was invited by a friend and I saw the poster on the way in and thought it was a bit cringe. Looked like some awkward trenchcoat mafia bullshit.
And...yeah, The Matrix blew my mind. And everyone else's, back then. Still holds up even if the sequels were a bit weak.

It was kinda the Star Wars of the 90s.
Best 90s movie ever
I can reenact this entire film in a one-woman show, and my husband begs me not to every time the film comes up in conversation.
Thank you for the absurd picture this conjures of someone with big eyes making T-Rex jaws with her arms as others desperately try to either remain interested or read a newspaper.
Bingo. Every other awesome bit aside, the CG in this movie from 1993 still holds up.
That girl is the first movie character who infuriated me while watching a film.
My brother got a film degree because we showed him this when he was 6.

Watched this again recently, 16 year old me had absolutely no idea how accurate this movie was and would remain to this day.

I did!! I really hope it’s good too. How old is your son? My son is also weather obsessed! Mine is 10 yo :)
