The one that sticks in my mind is Watership Down, aged 7.... I’ve never rewatched it. Saw movies before then but haven’t stuck as a memory

First surround sound and big screen was Top Gun in Leicester Square

Lol so was mine. 1978. R2d2 and c3po were greeting folk in the foyer. It explains a lot of where my time goes nowadays.

Watership Down will go down in history as the worst classified film ever.

Was classified as a U and should have been 18. Scarred any child that saw it.

The original Star Wars film

my Dad would take us every Saturday.

He also took me to see Watership Down thinking I'd like the Rabbits, I cried, and still get traumatised now if I watch it....

He also thought Bambi was a good idea! I cried

My poor Dad!

Most definitely, saw it on TV when we were staying at my uncles, went to bed bawling my eyes out asking my mum why did the rabbit have to die

Still can't listen to bright eyes...

To right, my folks still apologise now if it gets bought up for the nightmares, I just say you had your punishment then as had to deal with them.

Daft thing I used to watch late night hammer house of horrors with my Nanna, but that wasn’t real so ok. Cute fluffy bunnies turned psycho whole different story

Must have been either Star Wars or Return of the Jedi, because I have a specific memory of my dad and uncle taking me to a triple bill, because I hadn't seen Empire Strikes Back.

There and to the left a bit

I don't remember it but was taken to see Bambi sometime in the 60s and apparently screamed the place down so had to be taken out.

First ones I can remember being taken to see are Oliver!, Sound Of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Battle Of Britain although not sure which was the first
