Well, I think the first SPECIFIC memory that comes to mind, where I can actually NAME the movie because I know what it was (I found out the title a few years back) is THE LAND UNKNOWN, a great lost world/dinosaurs chasing people type movie. This would have been around 1970. I'm watching TV, probably four years old. There's some people flying a helicopter through a thick fog. They can't see where they're going...
And suddenly a PTERODACTYL flies out of nowhere, screeching as they do, and bumps into the helicopter, then flies away. Total accident; there just happens to be a pterosaur flying nearby.
WTF!!!!! I remember reacting to this sudden shocking image.
I had a memory of seeing this scene for years but didn't know what movie it was. Then a long time later I rented the movie and saw the scene.
