I didn't get to see TPM opening night (actually, I didn't see any of them opening night) because I was with my Outdoor-Ed class, and we were on a biking/climbing trip in Lake Placid, NY. So, there are 20 of us, plus our teacher and chaperones, and we decided that on our last night there, the Thursday (TPM having opened on the Wednesday) night we'd spend on the town. About half of us decided to go see a movie, and we were split between TPM and The Matrix. I went for TPM, and loved the start of the movie. Before long, though, three of us decided to "head to the can...." and snuck into The Matrix, which started a half hour later.

That's my memory of TPM, sneaking out.

I never saw AOTC in theatres. Or maybe I did. I don't really remember.

With ROTS, I went with some friends who really wanted to watch it. I think that's what made it the best PT cinema experience. The people.
