A second on the OG Universal horror films. I guess it comes down to their cultural impact that may be more fascinating than the films themselves. I'd love to see how audiences reacted at the time in a packed theatre on opening night. It's cookie cutter stuff for the most part.

Phantom of the Opera (1925) especially

M

The Blob (in the theatre that was featured in the film - pretty meta).

Vertigo/Psycho

Halloween/Friday 13th

The Exorcist

Jaws/Star Wars

The Terminator

Batman

Basically a long list of my favourite films I was too young to see or wasn't born for. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was probably my favourite cinema experience with friends/family every year, though the Blair Witch Project was as close to those 70's/80's horror films as I could get, atmosphere wise.

Superman I think I saw at cinema.

I’m wondering on jaws as if it wasn’t a U, I’d have had to have seen when 15 or 16 but it was occasionally put back on.

I saw it in the cinema when it came out.....just me....and .....me

LOL - I forgot about that one! It's the brain miles The Matrix was pretty amazing, when Rage Against the Machine kicked in at the end I was so happy and I remember everyone wanted that phone. There's too many to mention really. Less so these days.

L.A Confidential is always on my phone. Better than Titanic!

To save quote tweeting a long thread I saw the remastered Star Wars original trilogy when they were put out after then prequel films and that was amazing with the improved visuals at the time

I am old enough to have seen a few of these films when they came out. I would also add 'Raiders of the lost Ark'.

But THE film that had the most visceral reaction in a cinema was 'Schindler's list'. Both times I have seen it the audience left in stunned silence.

Raiders for sure, Ghostbusters and Blazing Saddles would also be on the list for me. A lot of 70's exploitation films, Dirty Harry etc

I didn't see Schindler's List at the cinema sadly. I did see Jurassic Park, that was huge, especially for me as a kid. I got that lunch box for sure!

Goldeneye was great for me as well. Famke Janssen baby!

Star Wars a new hope, to have my first time watching it and being hit by that music as the capitol ship flew over before Vader walks through the doors would have been amazing

Nothing will ever come close to seeing LOTR at the pictures. But if I could choose anything else it’d probably be the Darth Vader father reveal to see the audience reaction

The first two films I ever saw at the cinema were Superman: The Movie, followed soon after by Star Wars.

As a 5-year-old in 1978, it was a mind-blowing experience!

Superman was also my first cinema movie and was an amazing experience.

I would of loved to have seen 2001 a space odyssey.

Another vote for 2001 here!

Plus 'Alien'.

I'd actually really loved have seen 'The Naked Gun' in the cinema with a full audience, as when I saw it on VHS for the first time as teenager, I'd never laughed so much at a film. So seeing it with a full audience of fellow gigglers would have been very special

Another vote for the Universal Horror pictures along with the first Matrix.

Se7en is one of all time favourite films and would’ve loved to have seen it in the cinema.

Some Chaplin, Marx Brothers or even Police Academy for some comedy.

Saw Metropolis in a film club in college (not exactly the cinema experience but close)….unfortunately it was the coloured version with a terrible soundtrack.

It's always been said Cinema (sinema)

Kinema is German.

Kinematographos is Greek - ( moving image or film and picture )

It comes from Kinetics , the science or study of movement

I like the work of Eadweard Muybridge who put great effort into making pictures move.

I'd like to see a version of Boy George's play Taboo on the cinema

I would have loves to have seen the first Star Wars and Jurassic Park films in the cinema and a lot of the old black and white horror films that have already been mentioned.

Also the Sixth Sense to have experienced the reaction when the big moment comes.

I think I have been lucky Op, born at the right time maybe. So I saw Jaws, Star Wars and Indiana Jones on the big screen when they first came out.

One of the highlights was watching ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ at the cinema. The opening scene has Bond skiing off a cliff and as an audience we waited in trepidation on what was going to happen next, when the parachute opened with the Union Flag everyone cheered and applauded it.

The only film I think I wish id seen on the big screen when it was released is Apocalypse Now, but not too long ago I watched the Redux version at the Cinema, so that one’s been done also.
