I was a tad too young to see Star Wars in theaters. However, the first movie I EVER went to as a child was ESB. Its my 2nd oldest memory, seeing the big AT-AT's come walking.

Saw the original in the theater a few times. Saw all the others in the theater too.

Also saw in theater:
Jaws, 1975
Close Encounters, 1977
Oh God (since someone else mentioned it), 1977
Lord of the Rings, 1978
Star Trek, 1979
Alien, 1979
Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1981
ET, 1982
Tron, 1982
Conan, 1982

What's kinda sad is how many of those I remember seeing at drive-ins.

I was in Kindergarten when it came out. I remember standing in line for like an hour.
My daughter was in kindergarten when Ep1 came out.
