I can remember as little girl watching Superman on the big screen, (1978), Christopher Reeve in my opinion was the best Superman ever. My parents took me to the Loews theater downtown in my city. Walking on the red carpet into the dark theater, smell of popcorn in the air. Feeling really excited. The credits blazing on the screen! Incredible.
Me: I bet that was an awesome experience..
