After a trip to the cinema recently I was thinking back to the first time I remember being taken to the cinema, with friends, gf/bf and on my own.

1973/4 Disney's Robin Hood

Can't remember the first time I went with friends.

Gf about 1986 Lady Jane Grey

On own - 2020/2021 (well, as soon as cinemas were re-opened), can't remember what film it was

Yes it was Watership Down with my mum and Nan. I bawled my eyes out in the Cinema. Then it was Condorman with my Nan and then Ghostbusters with my mum and step-dad.

Power Rangers in 1995

It was a crappy, run-down cinema in West Brom.

The movie was epic though

I went with my mum to see bambi when I was 5 and dont remember much until I was about 8 and we used to go to the children's double bill on a Saturday. I was in charge of my sister. We where given 10p. 8p for the pictures and 2p for sweets.

Then when I was about 11 dad took me to see towering inferno as he thought I was old enough to see a "grown up" film. Then when grease came out snuck in with my friends many times.

Went to see golden child with a lad

Disneys Jungle Book. The first re-release in 1975 presumably? (As the original was 1967.)

With parents:- Jaws.

With friends:- I think Star Wars, but could be Alien.

Yes! I was five and went to watch Lilo and Stitch with my granny’s best pal and her granddaughter. I got to the top seats and tripped on the stairs and fell all the way to the bottom, just as the film started

The first one I remember as a child was Watership Down. Only one sequence stayed with me for years, probably because I didn't understand it at the time. It was at the cinema by Picton Clock.

Last I knew it was a Co-Op and think, sadly, its an empty unused space.

It seems I'm in great company, as Disney's Robin Hood was the first film I ever saw at the cinema too! It was a Saturday morning show at the Odeon and it was also the first time I'd ever been allowed popcorn.

Have no idea about the other 'first' movies, but that one definitely made a memory.
