Young Sherlock Holmes, with my father and sister. I was so terrified and impressed all at once. Mummified and boiled in oil, alive, by a subterranean Anubis cult, to the sound of Carmina Burana? It was a lot for a 7 year old.

I watched it last night as I said our house was as cold as the Fortress of Solitude and no one in my family recognised the reference. Sacrilege. So they all sat like Alex in A Clockwork Orange watching Superman to correct said situation.

I couldn't listen to Bright Eyes either after that

The Cinema was a traumatic place for me when I was little.....Bloody Star Wars and Bambi!

I've no idea what the first film was. My parents are film buffs and I've watched all sorts of films all my life. My first real cinema memory is seeing the trailer for The Lion King and being absolutely desperate to watch it. I'm not sure how long in advance they used to show trailers, but it felt like 2 years before it was finally released.
