When I was about four I was in day-care, and we always watched movies there. One of my favourite movies was Home Alone which the day care occasionally put on. One day I really wanted to watch the movie, except I didn't know the name. So I started yelling, ''I want to watch Kevin! I want to watch the Kevin movie!'' (Kevin is the main character in Home Alone). It took a few minutes for the day-care staff to figure me out.
I used to believe that the "million dollar movie" that used to run on NYC TV stations at 4pm was actually 2nd run features of movies that had already been shown to a select group of affluent people that literally paid one million dollars to view the movie.
It seemed odd to me that people would spend so much to see a movie before me, but then again, some of them were pretty good. (I think I held this belief because my older brother told me this was true -- nasty!)

When Jaws was just released it was the scariest film i had ever seen. I actually belived that a "Jaws" would come up the toilet and bite me on the bum! Took me a while to get back on the toilet and a lot of convincing from my folks telling me he could'nt fit through the pipes!

This is more of an event than a belief.
When my cousin(4 yrs.) was in church one day and going up to communion, there was someone who had glasses and hair like Harry Potter. So he said" Look Mom! It's harry potter!"

When I was younger, my uncle really loved the movie LaBamba and he would watch it often when I was over. I always thought that Richie Valens name was actually La Bamba until the time I was 12 or so.

I remember asking my dad once very seriously why people in the olden days walked faster. The old black and white silent films from way back when were always showing people moving faster...

I loved the movie Puff the Magic Dragon except for one part...
When puff pulls jackie's "living thing" out of his ear and puts it into the paper jackie. oh, God...
I was terrified that Satan was going to pull out my soul through my ear. Now tell me, what kind of thing is that to put on a children's show?!

When I was 6 or 7, I was leaving my friend Mason's house when an ad for an R-rated movie came on the TV. I said the movie looked cool and he said "Too bad we can't see it, 'cause it's rated R, for adults." For some reason, I heard "'cause it's rated R, for dogs." My parents were unable to convince me that R-rated movies weren't for dogs and were actually for grown-ups. The next time I went to Mason's we straightened it all out, but to this day whenever my parents hear "Rated R" at the end of a movie advertisement, they'll say "for dogs!"

My mom forced me to watch those Nightmare on Elm Street movies when I was 5 and it scared me to death. Inspired by a sceen in the movie, I was afraid to take a shower/bath for I feared that Freddy would pop out of the shadows and slit my throat.

When my friend was little her and her brothers used to go to the video store to rent a movie and they always wanted to rent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which she hated. She would find a different movie but they would tell her "You have to find one with the movie in it otherwise they don't have it" so she would go down every aisle picking up every case to find one with a movie in it....needless to say they always ended up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

When I saw a Back to the Future II scene of Marty McFly talking to Doc Brown on the Walkie-Talkie, I thought Marty said "Duck, duck come in!"
I used to belive that all in tv was kind of real adventures, I was a big fan of Pierce Brosnan that days and I knew that I'll watch him in some movie saturday night, when accidently an evening before I saw him travelling around the globe in 80 days (good movie!)I was really worried that he won't be able to get back on time for my saturday's movie :)

when the Scary Movie Movies first came out i thought they were actually supposed to be scary, thats what everybody else told me anyway.

I used to think that huge blockbusters that are being heavily advertised were the only movies in the theaters, and all the regular public went to see them. The weird looking flicks were movies that only freaks, or "hill folk" as I used to call them (got that from my older sister) went to see those movies.
Think I learned my lesson the second I saw "Cool Runnings" (the first film I hated, which ironically the rest of my family loved)...

Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre. I was 5. The experience freaked me out, although later I became a huge fan. I was amazed that the sets were so intricate and that they could change the them so quickly. I thought that it was a play happening behind the screen, and they put a screen in front of the action so the colors would look better. I was scared that one of the characters would accidentally shoot someone in the audience.

i used to believe that all the movies were real life stories so i asked my mom how come one actress is a detecive in one movie, a reporter in another movie and a student in another movie.

I used to believe that whenever we put a movie in the VCR, alarms would go off at all of the actor's houses and they would all have to go to the studio to act out the movie for us.(the same thing went for animated movies too.)

My friend told me about the movie The Ring, and ever since I was scared, and still am, that someone will crawl out of the tv and kill me.

When I first heard "The Exorcist," I thought that "The Exorcist" was something about exercising and work out.
