Then it hit me...They're probably showing it because it's been THIRTY YEARS since it was in theaters.
I was barely 9 when I saw the movie the first time. It was one of the first movies I saw in theaters. My Dad was a SF Geek, so I'd already seen the Star Wars movie(s?) & was familliar with StarTrek, so the whole "Darth Vader/Vulcan" reference totally solidified this as the BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
It's the 30th anniversary of the movie. I don't know whether to feel old or vindicated that it's still a "thing" dacades later.

So for the point of the post, did you see it when you were a kid? How old? What did you think? Is it as awesome now as it was to kids years ago? Are you going to show your kids?
