First film you ever saw at the cinema

[Dave the OAP]

I remember when I was 5, and my sister was 8, we walked up to the kiosk in the cinema, totally oblivious and innocent, we asked for 2 tickets to see the X-rated 'Sinderella'

My first film was when my Mum dragged us there to see the Sound of Music. At 5 years old, it was the first time I fell in love .... with the youngest kid in the Von Trapp family. I swore that one day I was going to marry her

did you?

Haven't got a scooby. Probably a Lone Ranger thing on a Saturday morning ABC Minors or whatever it was called in Haywards Heath (when it had a cinema). First "proper" film would have been either Star Wars or Grease, whichever came out first - can't be arsed to look it up. Queued from the seafront right round to Russell Road in Brighton to get in for both.

Yeah I remember Saturday morning flicks, we used to boo the baddies in the Lone Ranger. One of my 1st full-length films:[yt]e98Ozg0yFSY[/yt] afterwards I couldn't get Roberta Tovey and her white socks out of my mind!

Absolutely horrific for a 5 year old. Didn't go again until 'Starwars'

 

[Seagullible]

Return of the Jedi or Ghostbusters, both around 84 but not sure which was first

 

[Goring Gull]

I think it was snow white and the seven dwarfs when i was about 5

 

[Uwinsc]

The jungle book

 

[The Grub]

The Wizzard of Oz.
It would have been in the early 70's and it was at The Duke Of Yorks in Brighton.
My grandma took me.
And it's still my favourite film.

It must have been 'The King and I', and I'm told I got a bit emotional when he popped off, casting the die

 

[Blackadder]

Snow white. A fair few decades ago!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Jungle Book for some reason 20 years after it was first released

 

[GT49er]

The newsreel of the coronation

Jungle Book for some reason 20 years after it was first released

Not strange at all. Disney used to re-release all their films at the cinema every 7 years until VHS/DVD/home cinema etc took the market away. I saw Snow White (1939) at the Odeon Kingswest as recently as 1988... What the kids made of a bunch of drunken 20-somethings filing out of the cinema on their knees whistling 'Hi ho, hi ho..." is not recorded.

Goldfinger

I'm pretty sure it was "paint your wagon" with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood at the Odeon in West Street (now closed) in 1969.

 

[Meade's Ball]

1981

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Capricorn One at the flea pit in Seaford......circa 1978
