Do you recall the first movie you went along to the Pictures to watch?

I don’t think my mum and dad realised what it would be like for a youngling of about 6/7, to go along and watch Watership Down!

Jaws, I was so scared, excited and totally invested in the story and characters it’s still my all time favourite film and memory of visiting the cinema.

Somewhere In The Ether…

I think it was Disney’s, Dragonslayer.

A superb film that seems to be all but criminally forgotten

Spent most of the time in the cinema behind the thick velvet curtains than ran along the side walls, rather than watch star wars. To be fair, was only 5.

Transsexual Transylvania

The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)

Biblical dramatisation of the life of Christ.

- I was about 4 or 5 and it was re-released at the local drive-in cinema (this would have been around 1971/2).

I sat through the whole thing, fascinated! I suppose the indications that I'm a weirdo were there early.

I actually don't remember the first film i watched at a cinema because as a child i used to go to Saturday morning cinema.

But i do remember the first film i went to as a teenager. It was "That'll Be The Day". I was 15 at the time and spent most of the film snogging her along with quite a bit of fingering

She was 16.............so no, i wasn't a perve then

Either Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or maybe Laurel and Hardy at the "Saturday Morning Picture Club".

We'd all sing the ABC Minors song before couple of cartoons, a short Laurel and Hardy before a rubbish Children's Film Foundation thing.

Who else went to this sort of thing?

I rwmembwr adoring Fieval goes West as a child but my first really memorable visit was to see Titanic with friends as an a young teen. Then I also remember there was some kind of Exorcist anniversary and we all went to the cinema dressed pretty much in business suits as we wanted to be let in to an 18+!
