Jurassic Park

The hype was incredible, every child in Ireland and indeed many of the adults too were talking about it

Merchandise everywhere

Film was brilliant through my childhood eyes!

It cost 3 punts to see a film, same price for an adult or child

When Titanic came out the price was jacked to 4 punts and there was a lot of grumbling and moaning over that. No film had ever been that expensive in our town
Tis a small town, only two screens in the cinema, they had a monopoly and they certainly knew it

A bugs life.

Brendog

"Power Rangers The Movie" when I was 4.

My dad brought me to see it and I loved every minute of it. Got really annoyed when he fell asleep during it though.

Black beauty in 1969 in the ritz in sandymount :-)

gammygils

''Octopussy'' in Claddagh Palace Galway in 1983.

Thought it was good

Dempsey

Missed the first 5 minutes :mad: :pac:

DylanII

I'm not sure what the first movie was but the earliest I remember was either Barney or Flubberr

Mickeroo

Back to the Future part II was my first movie in the cinema, closely followed by Teenage Mitant Ninja Turtles!!!

ziedth

I remember masters of the universe in the cinema and I would have only been 3 or 4 so that would be my guess.

bearhugs

The Little Mermaid!

ALS

Digby the biggest dog in the world at the Grand in fairview , also remember going to the same cinema to see Grease a couple of times ,happy memories

FlashD

ET (1982)

pauline fayne

The first film i saw in a cinema was Darby O Gill and the little people . I think i was about five , so that would make it 1959 . My mother brought me to see it in the Star cinema in Crumlin . I couldn't really understand what was going on in the film but I liked the scenes with the leprechauns !

Eerie

Home Alone in the UCI in Tallaght

Tipsy McSwagger

Gremlins and it was awesome

Johnny Johnson

ET

Mike Litoris

Superman in The Adelphi in 79/80 I assume. Second was Flash Gordon. I remember feeling epic coming home on the bus afterwards.:D

Mint Sauce

James Bond. A View to a Kill.

OwaynOTT

Batman and I was ****ting myself, I was only just 5. Next was Land Before Time, it had dinosaurs loved it. Our cinema closed down after that.
Next was Jurassic Park and was scared after that too. Dinosaurs can open doors, holy **** Batman.
Next was Batman Fovever. First four films were split over quite a time frame.
Jurassic Park was great had a tshirt and all the trading cards.

Basq

Batman in 1989 is the first one I remember anyways..

Melion

Either Beethoven or Home Alone 2. I was obviously a late starter, would have been 7/8

Mickeroo

I wasn't allowed watch Batman for a long time because it was 15's

Jesus Shaves

Death becomes her, 92

Turtyturd

The Jungle Book...went with my Dad who fell asleep during it so I decided to leave him be and stay for a second showing.

The Burton one?

telekon

Octopussy at 3 years old.

The old man's a big Bond fan, obviously couldn't pawn me off on somebody that day.

I would imagine the whole 'Pussy Galore' thing was lost on me at the time.

Id be the same. My bother was 5 when he seen it aswell the same day as me. He was afraid of bug life. So at 16 years old, I remind him every single day. About his fear of bugs life. :pac:

Ape X

I genuinely can't remember! Fair chance it was a Disney animated feature (Robin Hood or The Fox and the Hound maybe), and was almost certainly in Gorey cinema in the early 80s.

tricky D

Some film called Star Wars in the Savoy followed by re-enacting the Millenium Flacon vs tie-fighter battle on the swivel chairs in Burger King. Lasers, pew pew, indeed.

Deank

Star Wars A New Hope in the old cinema in Stillorgan, think it was 1977 or 1978 :eek:

McGrath5

Fairly sure it was Free Willy.

bear_hunter

was completley weird

first time i ever went to the cinema was on a school tour in 1983 when we went to dublin , we went to the wax museum and the zoo and then on to the savoy , i was in junior infants , you would think the likes of ET or return of the jedi would have been the obvious choice , NO , the teacher brought us to a small independant film with john hurt about a jockey who contacted cancer but recovered to win the grand national


the second time i went was a few years later to the he man animation movie , lived in deepest rural ireland so going to the cinema was a rare treat

drunkmonkey

Are you sure BMW Bandits wasn't in the Cinema before ET? I've a feeling I saw bmw bandits first?

ricero

toy story or the lion king i forgot but it was defiantly one of them

daenerysstormborn3

Casper the friendly ghost when I was 8. Next one after that was The Horse Whisperer when I was 11. My mum was never a big cinema goer so when I was very young I didn't get to go much, I make up for it now though

jaykhunter

I think it was superman 4 (or a re-release of Superman 1/2 if that was released in the late 80s in Ireland) and I remember mostly because we were sitting really close to the screen and I got a headache! From then on I've been very picky about seating!

jc_eire

Home Alone II or Sister Act 2...certain it was Home Alone tho!!

shrewdness

Either Aladdin or 3 Ninjas! Can't remember which was first.

Riesen_Meal

Care Bears movie in 85 is the first one I can remember, in the Savoy, think Ghostbusters came after, good times....

al28283

It was either Innerspace, BTTF 2, the land before time or who framed roger rabbit, probably a the savoy or carlton cinema in dublin
