When was the first time you saw COTC?

I was 15, and saw it at the theater. I had already read the short story, but I enjoyed the movie a lot. Everything we saw bratty kids after that, we called them "children of the corn!"

I saw it back in 2002, I believe, back when I was in the ninth grade. I rented it from the local video store.

If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador?

I was at least 14 but not much older (born in 1970, so I was 13/14 when it was release). My guess is that I saw it on its first UK screening on TV. I was in the midst of an obsessive Stephen King phase in my teens, and I wouldn't have missed the chance to watch a film of one of his stories.

I'm just now rewatching it some 30 years later. Much as I remembered it in term of quality and tone. Knowing what I was like as a teenager I'm sure Linda Hamilton also impacted on my fondness for the film...

I originally watched it back in the 80's when I was younger and all I could remember was that it scared the crap out of me, but after recently watching it again all I got out of it was a terrible movie.

On HBO circa 1986 ish...... Classic good times

About 20 minutes ago and, age 30 lol. My hubby made me watch... I liked it :)

I can't remember what year for sure but it was either 85 or 86, I would've been 12 or 13. Always liked it and because of Malachai having red hair we used to call all the red head kids at school Malachai after that. In the early days of all the video rental stores this was one I made sure I talked my parents into renting for me. Lol
