Hi Guest,

I encounage you to register and become a frequent visitor.

John and I went to see a movie yesterday.

You can tell the "I" is correct because you would remove the "John and"

I went to see a movie yesterday.

Myself went to see a movie yesterday? No, doesn't work
Me went to see a movie yesterday? No, doesn't work

Myself and me are object forms, not subject.

Also, it is polite to mention the other person first.

So it is John and I, not I and John.

Hope that helps.

You may have meant to ask which is grammatically correct when it is the subject of a sentence. Just being at the beginning either "John and I" or "John and me" could be correct. "John and me" would be rare, however, initially as an object.

John and me they believed, but not Phil and his friends.

Note this is also correct: The only two left were John and I.

Function takes priority over position in the sentence.
