I don't doubt my parents took me to some movies as a kid, only so they did not have to hire a babysitter. I just don't remember those.

I do remember as a 3rd grade kid, my older brother and I wanted to see the newest Elvis movie, and mom and dad has said maybe later. So they went out one night to an Air Force officers party, all dressed up, and got an really ancient old lady (likely in her 50s in reality) to babysit for us. At 7:00 it was bedtime, and we went upstairs to bed. The babysitter came and checked we were in our separate bedrooms, and went downstairs to the only air conditioned room, the living room.

My brother and I got dressed, climbed out the window, down a tree, got on our bikes and pedaled to downtown San Marcos, TX to the theater. We saw the movie, got back home and in bed and we would have gotten away with it except I put the ticket stub in my pocket. When mom was doing laundry she kew to check the pockets of little boys. She found my ticket stub and asked me about it. Well, um well, um, well um, I have no idea how that got there. Busted.

They realized then to babysitters were pointless. We got downtown and back safely at night and the sitter never knew we left. We never got another babysitter. We never did get the hot attractive 20 something babysitter like in movies, always some grandma age really old lady.

So the answer to my first memorable movie It an Elvis movie with the same plot where he is trying to be a "regular guy" and not the famous singer, and find a girl that loves him as just a broke working guy, that seems to break out into song every so often.
