I saw this asked on r/movies and with a few exceptions the answers were skewed by a much younger age demographic than ours. So I was curious, for those of us with 40-50+ years of movie-watching experience, what in-the-theater movie experience was so epic it blew you away.
My take - The Sixth Sense. I remember the collective gasp in the packed movie theater at the twist reveal as it took everyone by complete surprise. We were all blown away.
There was something nice about the pre-rage/pre-spoiler internet for things like that, now I have to avoid media altogether if I don't want the movie spoiled and heaven forbid a movie trailer acts like a tease as it's intended instead of revealing the entire plot.
He's gone to a better, non-judgmental place, but this one hurts a lot. :(
Edited as I cannot spell at the moment.
