First movie seen in the cinema

Flash Gorden for me, in the Oscar Cinema, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan in 1980/81. Blew my tiny 6 year old mind.

I remember being brought to see Star Wars around 1977, I hadn't a clue what was going on in the film but loved the excitement of the cinema!!

Loved it

AwayWithFaries · 22-07-2012 4:55pm

Toy Story. What a film!

Goodshape · 22-07-2012 5:01pm

Treasure Island in 1990. I would have been 7. Loved it.

Interestingly... the last film I saw, Dark Knight Rises, also starred Christian Bale.

Gavlor · 22-07-2012 5:04pm

bullvine · 23-07-2012 9:55am

Petes Dragon in 1978 I think in the Forum Glasthule

Funglegunk · 23-07-2012 10:05am

Pretty sure it was Home Alone in the Adelphi in Dundalk. The earliest one I definitely remember is Aladdin in 1992.

saintsaltynuts · 23-07-2012 10:05am

Labyrinth somewhere in Dublin city centre around 1986 i think.

Sleepy · 23-07-2012 11:34am

Is this thread is making anyone else feel old?

It'd be The Jungle Book for me in the Wexford cinema in 1984 followed the next year by The Black Cauldron. My mother still delights in telling people how I jumped into her lap when Shere Khan roared for the first time. In my defence, I was only 3 or 4 years old!

partyguinness · 23-07-2012 11:36am

Santa Claus the movie in December 1985.

Not a big cinema goer. I thing the last James Bond film was the last time I went.

abouttobebanned · 23-07-2012 11:36am

Neverending story is the oldest I can remember but I'm sure I saw one before that.

beefjerky · 23-07-2012 11:40am

Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Mr E · 23-07-2012 11:43am

Temple of Doom.

Du du duduuuuu, dudu duuuuuu.....

AthAnRi · 23-07-2012 12:03pm

All Dogs go to Heaven in 1989. Can't remember one thing from it tbh. I was 9.

DrumSteve · 23-07-2012 12:11pm

An American Tail (I think)...

Alonso77 · 23-07-2012 12:14pm

Popeye around 1981 - Royal Cinema Limerick

Bad Panda · 23-07-2012 12:14pm

Star Wars episode IV. Was showing in town somewhere in the early/mid '80's.

hattoncracker · 23-07-2012 12:15pm

Mrs Doubtfire... :-D The day after my communion as a treat!

PandaX9 · 23-07-2012 12:18pm

Same as some earlier poster here, Space Jam! So awesome. but as I type this, I am getting weird flashbacks of the Rugrats movie where dill was born and they had a cart in a jungle with that "oo ee oo ah ah tin tang walla walla bing bang" song on.. Might've been my second movie

Duggy747 · 23-07-2012 12:53pm

Lethal Weapon 3 in Mosney :pac:

Only scene I remember from it in the cinema was when Gibson was acting like a dog to the big ol' mean guard dog.

Best film I saw in the cinema was definitely Jurassic Park, the hype around then was insane and hearing everyone go "oooooh" and "aaaaaah" when the dinosaurs appeared added to it.

They used to re-release Star Wars, before it became TV fodder, long before the '97 rebirth of the franchise via the Special Editions.

I remember one of my first films being Star Wars and Superman.

Not all cool though,

I also remember The Cat from Outer Space and Bedknobs and Broomsticks..

First movie I went to sans parents was Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, with some friends, in '82, they say I whimpered a little at Spocks death.... I refute this!

Hart · 23-07-2012 3:33pm

Diamonds are Forever in The Classic (then The Kenilworth) in 1971. Hooked for life...

GavRedKing · 23-07-2012 3:34pm

Home Alone was my first film I remember.

Still holds good nostalgic value to this day.

Delightfully Pessimistic · 23-07-2012 3:38pm

Shrek back in 2001. The only part I remember seeing in the cinema is when he roars at the start :P

SuperGrover · 23-07-2012 4:28pm

It was either Pete's Dragon or Bugsy Malone

Bugsy Malone was way better but not sure which I saw first

LuckyFinigan · 23-07-2012 4:49pm

Think it might of been aladdin, would of been about 2 or 3.

ScrubsfanChris · 23-07-2012 5:37pm

Lion King

B.A._Baracus · 23-07-2012 5:44pm

best, eh?

Has to be I now pronounce of Larry and Chuck.
Oh, not because the movie itself was great. But see, you must remember at one point the camera directly focuses on jessica biel in underwear.

Now imagine the above on a big 40ft screen. But excuse me people, I must go and fap now.

First movie seen in the cinema
