But the couple was James Caan and Katherine Ross, so not British.
Oh, OK. The older woman had a high class Northeastern accent that I remember as British.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Jessica- do a quick Google search to see if there is a theatre with "Mommy Movies" in your area. We have a local theatre where everyone brings their babies and if they cry no big deal because it's all moms.
Conversely, if you do go and have to leave due to fussiness- make sure you get a refund or a readmission ticket. If you don't watch the whole movie you shouldn't have to pay.

Those screenings are all midweek - I used to go to them while I was on maternity leave.
(So I guess technically Dylan has seen a couple of movies in theatres before, but I think if he was breastfeeding or asleep the entire time it doesn't really count.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I can't remember the name of the movie, but when I was very young (think kindergarten age), my dad let me watch some late night horror movie that included an apparent dead person with rolled-up eyes rising out of a bathtub to menace someone. When I turned around to him for reassurance, he'd rolled his eyes back so only the whites were showing.
The next few years of getting waked up by me in the dead of night after a nightmare or just general can't-sleep-afraid-of-the-dark? Your own damn fault, Pops.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
When I turned around to him for reassurance, he'd rolled his eyes back so only the whites were showing.
Oh! Not nice.

I think that's Les Diaboliques. Or at least there is a scene very much like that in the movie.

For freaky childhood trauma, nothing quite beats the trip on the S.S. Wonkatina in Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka movie.
That didn't bother me, but I was terrified of the Oompa Loompas in that movie. They still kind of freak me out.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The hardest thing about taking the wee ones to the movies is leaving if they can't make it through. It's worth a try, though. With kids' movies, it's just expected that some people have to get up and it's a more tolerant atmosphere.
Liv will now sit through an entire film at 3 1/2. But I also make sure there are enough Twizzlers to get us through.

DH just double-checked runtimes and Ponyo is about 15 minutes longer than Totoro, which might be pushing it.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
My 4-yr-old could sit through a whole movie when he was 2-and-change. But my 2-year-old can barely sit through a whole episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, so it'll be a while before we take her to the movies.
Also, David, I let this sit fallow, but in my book Watt > Hart, although I agree that Grant is some kind of ubermensch.
