How many of you were actually around in 1986?

I knew two people who walked out of the theater during the vomiting scene. I didn't see the film until it came out on VHS. Glad I did because it was one of the best films of the year. Wil Weaten lived around the corner from me at the time (Sunland). Didn't know him well but knew he was into science fiction stuff.

I was 7 when it came out, but I doubt I saw it in the theater, so I was probably a few years older when I saw it for the first time.
I can remember watching it over and over after I taped it off TV. I had the biggest crush on Keifer Sutherland, so some days when I didn't feel like watching the whole thing, I'd fast forward to just his parts. Gotta love VCRs -

Also one of my favorites. In 1986, I was around 7 or so. We went to a movie theater in Waco, Texas to see it during a midnight show. My Dad never cared much for ratings and used a little known thing known as "parental experience" and knew I was old enough to understand, comprehend, and enjoy the story with no adverse affects.
True enough, watching this movie and even sitting through the end credits because we loved the music, is one of my best memories. I remember it being one the very first times I watched any movie all the way through from the first preview of another movie to the last credit screen, this was long before Marvel movies made sitting through credits a thing.
I was really into 50's cars and music, even at age 7, and I still am. So, this movie was a boon to me at that age.
Great memories, great times, great film. -

It was the summer after I was liberated (graduated) from high school. I was going to buy a poster and bring it to my reuinion (along with other movies that were released that summer.
