First film you ever saw at the cinema

[highway61]

given how old i feel today it must have been The First Motion Picture Ever Made - The Horse In Motion (1878)

[Knightsworld]

99% sure it was Star Wars, on the other hand it may of been Bambi

 

[whitelion]

Pretty sure it was Snow White. According to my Ma I spent most of the film hiding under the seat!!

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

probably Fantasia at The Astoria (about '75)

a regular for me around 78 was the saturday morning showing at The Vouge!

 

[JJ McClure]

Return of the Jedi

 

[NMH]

I do believe it was "Hard Day's Night"

What great tunesmiths, that chirpy chappies really were!

Good question, after much thought my earliest cinema memory is a film possibly called Journey to the Top of the World at a flea pit in Seaford. I also saw Jaws at same flea pit later on.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Thiose magnificent men in thier flying machines
Astoria? along Boundary Road in Hove - late 60's

 

[Oscar]

I'm pretty sure it was Bambi at the Odeon down West Street.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

E.T. at the Picture House in Uckfield in 1982.

 

[Austrian Gull]

The Rescuers in 1977 - not my choice, I can assure you.

 

[Barrow Boy]

Very first memory is of being taken to The News Theatre in North Street (now a Burger King) which used to show non stop cartoons and newsreels. This was in the late 50's so I must have been about 5 at the time.

First proper full length film I remember seeing was Cliff Richard in The Young Ones back in 1961 at The Ritz cinema in Shoreham.

star wars \o/

 

[goldstone]

Teahouse of the August Moon sometime in the 50s.

I used to go to the 'Saturday Morning Pictures' at the local Granada when I was a lad, but my first 'grown up' film at the cinema must have been 'Dracula- Prince of Darkness' and 'Plague of the Zombies'. I almost cacked myself! How a bunch of innocent-looking fresh-faced 12 year old kids managed to get into see an X-rated (18) film is something I still don't quite understand!

I've seen both films since, and found them to be disappointing.

 

[dennis]

Bedknobs and Broomsticks at a cinema somewhere in Sheffield.
Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day was the short film on first.

 

[footychick]

E.T. at the Picture House in Uckfield in 1982.

I saw Ghostbusters there

 

[pasty]

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.

It was a double header of Star wars and the empire strikes back with my dad.
