On my own: Jason and the Argonauts, in the CFB Chatham Rec Center Cinema on a Saturday afternoon during the summer of 1974, along with 400 other sugar intoxicated, screaming, air force urchins. Ah...magical. Escorted: Sleeping Beauty (in the same cinema!), where the transformation of the Evil Queen scared the living baby shit out of me. Thanks so much for the soiled underoos Walt!
