First movie i went to see was "Back to the Future" in the Savoy in Dublin

It was only when I watched recently did I realise how crap it was

littleninja

first couple of movies i saw at the cinema were The Jungle Book, ET and The Neverending Story (in that order)

I got scared at ET because I was only little and when Elliott started screaming when he first saw ET that scared the bejesus out of me, I have gotten over that since - just goes to show you how impressionable young kids are

for me it was transformers the movie... about '85/'86 direction... i seen it in the curzan in Belfast i think it was....

one thing i remember was that all the kids were transforming in the aisles.. you know the transforming sound and then followed by the sound of a car, truck or aeroplane.... ah those were the days...

I also have memories of being brought to see the care bear movie by my aunty... around this time as well...

Can't remember the first film I went to see, the first one I went to without my parents was "Who Framed Roger Rabbitt?", actually quite a freaky movie!

Crap? My god, Back to the Future is genius! One of the outstanding masterpieces of the 80s.

First film I went to see in the cinema was "Oliver and company" a disney cartoon film. Noone has ever heard of it. I just remember eating ice pops during it and it still had the intermission in the middle of it. I think it was in the Savoy in town.

i remember that movie... it was a disney one about dogs or something wasn't it?

Oliver himself was a kitten. I remember an air vent blowing all the characters off the ground, and the ad narrator guys insufferabley cheery voice....

It might have been the 25th Anniversary release of SnowWhite. I took my kids to cinema for first time on the 50th Anniversary release. My dad saw the premiere of SnowWhite but it wasn't his first trip to cinema as a child.

First trip to Cinema *WITHOUT* parents was with Girl next door who dragged me along (didn't like to go on her own) to see Premiere of "1 Million years BC". Not any dialog, and I was more interested in the Dinosaur effects than the scantlily clad cavegirl (I was very young). Was it Bridgett Bardot? Who was the man?

I think it could have been ET either that or the carebears! I do remember going to see all dogs go to heaven....because I was there with my neighbours and one of them got highly emotional!

We used to have a great little cinema....which has since been knocked down...how and ever....I remember myself and my brother used to always get a box of wine gums or smarties between us....twas great!

The Muppet

Tried to go see Grease In 78 but it was booked out so went to see Convoy instead . A film which ended up having quite a big influence on my life and I,m sure many otheres as well.

BMX Bandits here too. I remember thinking that film was cool, though I can't remember the storyline! Probably just as well!

Raquel Welch! the bloke was John Richardson.
My first filum was I think Snow White in about 1972-ish...first flick without parents was Battle of Britain saturday morning club showing with a few friends.

wow, the first movie I can remember seeing was the main feature of the saturday afternoon matinee. I also remember scenes of the movie before the main feature but I can't for the life of me recall the name of it.

The main feature was Oliver (1968), I was 4 or 5 at the time, so that would be either '71 or '72

Mum and Dad used to drop me off in the cinema while they went shopping. (good old days, when toddlers where safe in the theater! also my mum's great aunt was an usher there, and kept an eye on me)

Thanks.. Are they both French or just have french sounding names? (Raquel and Brigitte).

I think Barbarella with Jane Fonda is better, but I have never seen it in cinema, only on TV. A bit like Flash Gordon in Story/Plot but more curvey

DukeDredd

Santa Claus the Movie!

Brigitte Bardot is VERY french (and an old hag nazi animal lover these day) Raquel Welch is Amercian but she only became popular making films in Britain for some reason (BC was a Hammer flick)

Barbarella is long overdue a remake.

First film I was brought to was ET, fell asleep within 5 minutes, so the first film i ever saw in the cinema was Disneys Peter Pan at the Ambassador.

Saw it again for the first time in nearly 20 years recently. Time has been cruel to it.

monkeymagic

First movie I remember seeing was Bedknobs and Broomsticks, it was 1980 I was 3 and the whole family went with an Australian family we're friends with so there must have been about 15 of us in total all in a blue VW camper van lol

Cork

I really don't know exactly but it was either "Hills Angels" (Disney Type film) or a Cheevy Chase/Dan Ackyrod Spy film.

The cimena was not very comfortable.

But I still remember it well.

It was a real ocasion. Today Kids films are full of merchandfise and commercialisim. Back then I think It was about simplier.

Cork

Ok it was Smokey and the Bandid with Burt Reynolds.

Hills angels was next

Harmless Disney comedy from the novel by Reverend Albert Fay Hill pits priest Edward Herrmann against a gang of gamblers in a small town armed only with the talents of a group of female parishioners. Dated by its well-meaning sexism and its car chase finale, but still fairly good family entertainment. It begins with Herrmann's arrival at the community of North Avenue, New Campton, where he has inherited the pulpit from a retired pastor. In an attempt to broaden the range of people involved in church activities, he entrusts an elderly Irish lady (Virginia Capers) with some of the funds, which her husband immediately loses in an off-track back-parlour betting shop. Herrmann's frustration launches him on a crusade to rid the town of gambling. This brings him to the attention of the FBI, who ask him to recruit a few good men to help. When the menfolk of the town decline, he turns to the women.
