It's either Star Trek 4, Ghostbusters, or Ghostbusters II. ST $ was the first movie I saw in theaters, and I had the VHS tape. I can watch either GB movie over and over again, whenever they're on.

April 29th, 1992 was my 9th birthday. I remember vividly eating cake and watching the helicopter footage of the Reginald Denny beating.
