Yer first experience of the cinema?

Bard

The first film I saw in the cinema was the animated feature "Last Unicorn" - a good seven years before the original Batman. It starred (the voices of) Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow,Angela Lansbury and hey!- René Auberjonois, a.k.a. Odo from Deep Space Nine ... heh heh..

I would have been almost 6 years old when I saw it - t'was scary yet enticing and intriguing enough to me at the time!

I think I seen that - do they turn the unicorn into a girl and there is something about a bull (?) forcing the unicorns into the sea?

I can't remember my very first time in the cinema - it was probably some Disney film - Jungle Book or Snow White.

Chubby

The first film I remember seeing in the cinema was The Spy Who Loved Me I was like 5 or something.

Whats a cinema?

Manach

"Star Wars", so it's been really down hill ever since.

Panda

Crikey i remember that film "The last Unicorn", but i saw it on video.
You really do know how to show ur age Bard.

Bard

Aye, Draco - the plot was along those lines... - I remember the animation being well ahead of its time, particularly for the scenes with the sea and the massive waves, etc.
- much more of it I don't remember...

And Kento... shur I'm young yet... or so they keep tellin' me - but yeah-- I turned 6 in 1982 when Last Unicorn came out.

The first film i remember seeing in the cinema was Batman, it was mental!me granny was there and she fell asleep and we ate all her popcorn.The cinema was a kip though, it was in Galway city and was way before the Omniplex opened. There may have been a Disney film before that but i dont remember it.

SantaHoe

I can't remember for the life of me!
It might have been 'the never ending story' or some Diznee sh!te.

Fido - the great mouse detective. God only knows how young I was. I spent half of it running around the cinema and fell asleep for the other half.

Yeah, I complete forgot about it myself. I do remember being entralled by the animation. And I think I was able to follow the plot. Must try and find a copy on video.

I can't remember the movie in Ireland, all I remember it was in fairview and they had to stop it because some plonker went over the front.

That was ur first? what age r u man? Its called Little Monsters as far as i can remember.

Miguel_Sanchez

Ah that old cinema in Castlebar - d'ya remember it Kharn?

I remember having to sit on the steps due to over-crowding and falling asleep through Mary Poppins. I still would - what a pile of ****e.

The first real movie I stayed awake all the way through was ET - edge of the seat stuff that.

The Jungle Book then I think. I remember Last of the Unicorns too - loved it at the time. Still think Jeff Bridges is a brilliant actor.

What about Gobots - Battle of the Rock Lords (something like that anyway). That was good.

Also Last Tango in Paris - saw that when I was six. Had a profound effect on me - switched to having margarine on my bread the next day.

Da Bounca

im gonna see if i can get that film now, ta shiro.
btw 18

if little monsters wasnt the first film i saw in the cinema,its the first i remember seeing

Panda
