What was the first movie you saw in the Cinema?

MW

I remember my Dad bringing my Sister and I to see Snow White and The Seven Dwarves when it was re-released. We were so excited!!! Back then there was nothing in the cinema to eat, so you brought your L&N Superstores bag full of cheap goodies. Them were the days!! My friends first film in the cinema was "The Addams Family" and I remember thinking how much of a seasoned pro at cinema going I was compared to her. I still try to go to the cinema once a week, of course now it nearly costs as much as a night out on the piss!!!

Big Tone

I remember as a young kid being blown away by Jaws in 1975 and Star Wars in 1977 after that Battlestar Galactica movies in the late 70s early 80s era.

Kurumba

The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy, it was Christmas time and bloody freezing and we queued on O'Connell street to get in, but we didn't mind cos we were too busy looking at the Christmas lights. We were brought to McDonalds across the road after, thrilled with ourselves we were!

my mam bought me and my brother to see "the adams family" thought it was the job!! and then we got to got to macdonalds ater it! ah those were the days indeed!:D

looksee

Bambi was the first I can remember. I remember very clearly being 8 or 9going to a children's (!) Saturday matinee and seeing some random film about a Robin Hood type character, and someone was put in a dungeon where a spiked ceiling descended slowly on the unfortunate character - every since I can't look at things like barbed wire or spiked railings. It makes me feel queasy just thinking about it. ugh.

I remember being taken to Star Wars as a youngster !!

keefg

As far as my hazy brain will allow....I think it was Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back.

I remember being so upset that Han Solo was frozen in carbonite.

mise_me_fein

The Jungle Book I think.

Rovi

Half a Sixpence

Lizzykins

The Sound of Music in the Kenilworth sometime in the 1960s. When I saw it on TV again in the 1980s all I could remember was the opening scene!

Mint Sauce

think it was 1985, i was 6 or 7, my dad took me to the late show of james bond, 'view to a kill', was probably at the cinema before that, but thats the one i remember

dlofnep

Ghostbusters 2 I think..

dobsdave

First one I remember is Star wars,1977 I think.
Have vague memories of crying when Jaws got killed:D, but surely I was too young to get in to Jaws (5yrs old !!)
Those were the days when there was only 1 mcdonalds in Ireland, and it was an event in its self to go there.
So to get cinema and Mcdonalds on the same day was amazing.
Imagine saying that to a kid now.

Dizzyblonde

Probably Mary Poppins or The Sound Of Music :eek:

Pompey Magnus

The first I can remember seeing was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when on holiday in New York in 1990.

watna

The first one I remember going to the cinema to see is The little mermaid. It was for my birthday which is in January so by looking at wikipedia that must have been 1990. (It was released at the end of 1989.) Therefore it was my 6th birthday. I remember my mum made sweety bags for everyone and little bags of popcorn and dunnes coke or red lemonade or something. Good times!!

Gillie

The Jungle book or ET.
Can't remember which though!

Mrs. MacGyver

The first i remember was who framed Roger Rabbit?

Acid_Violet

The Lion King for my third birthday. Damn it was good!

Firetrap

Robinson Crusoe in a cinema in Portarlington in the early 80s. Now I've no idea why it was being shown as there hadn't been a Robinson Crusoe film made for a years and years.

gidget

Gremlins. i remember wanting to find Gizmo for sale somewhere in a shop after it.

Holmer

Bavck to the future. Although I was only about 5, so didn't really understand about time paradoxes or the like. Loved the delorean though

dfx-

I think it was Willow in the late 80s or something. Still probably the most boring film I've watched in the cinema

I think it's just ahead of the Never Ending Story which was my second film:D

Wishbone Ash

Star Wars (1977)

I remember several classmates in national school going to see Jaws although I think it was a 15 cert. They weren't as strict then especially if the underage person was with adults.
