Naked Gun 2+1/2
...ok, it might not be the greatest film ever, but I'll certainly never forget the first time I watched it.

I were a nipper that day, I think about 8 years old and on the beeb they announce it's up right after the news. I remember getting all excited by this; my mum was quite strict about the tele so me & my brother rarely got to watch any films.
Anyway, true to form, mum says "No! It's waaaay past your bedtime sonnyJim!" and promptly carts me upstairs, unrepentant.
Now, that was bad enough, but what was worse was the fact she clearly wanted to see it, and alone as I could hear the muffled film as I lay in bed.
Anyway, i forget why now, but I look out my bedroom window instead; it was summer and still light, but that's when I noticed one of the houses just over the road were watching it too on their tiny television set...all the action scenes seemed to match upto the muffled sounds I could just about hear from downstairs.
So b3ta, I watched from almost start-to-finish the naked gun 2 on two separate TV sets simultaneously. It was my proudest moment that year!
