• What's the first film you remember seeing at the Cinema?

I got asked this today and the first film I can remember is Jurrasic Park in 1993.

We went on a school trip to watch it

I remember my best friend's dad took the two of us to see Goldeneye. I think it was a 12 and I must have been about 8 or 9, I thought It was the best thing ever

Little did I know I would wait over a decade for another decent bond film.

I had to wait until it came out on VHS (which i still have!).

Toy Story is the earliest I can remember.

Ivanhoe at the Tivoli, Colne Road, circa1960 - sadly no longer there. Was about eight years old.

Thought it was the dog's goulies.

Also Jurassic Park, at Unit 4 in Brierfield!

That's a good question. Going to the cinema was one of my favourite things to do as a kid and I'd go as often as once or twice a week as a student at uni. Only go once every few months now though.

Anyway, back to the question...I can't be sure but the first film that I have a clear memory of seeing is 101 Dalmations. That came out in 1996 but I'm sure I went to the cinema earlier than that. Dennis the Menace (1993) rings a bell but I can't be sure. I wish my memory was better!

I think my first film was Disneys Snow White and 7 Dwarves at Brierfield Unit 4

Strange times, late 50s. We use to go and watch the second half of the main film, the 'B' movie, then the first half of the main film. Before a mad dash for the last bus.
The Errol Flynn Robin Hood,1938, is the first memorable one for me. Not positive if it was actually first.
You can't find a film at the cinema over a month old now.

Can remember watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks with my Mum.
First film I went to without a parent was Monty Pythons Holy Grail. Brilliant, due to the small budget instead of using horses they had blokes carrying coconuts. Loved watching python as a kid and still do, just a bigger kid.

Power Rangers - I'm sure I'd been before but this is the first I remember.

That's 2 for Bambi. I don't know where it was, though.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:08 pm**

Another for Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.

The first I went to unaccompanied by an adult was Disney's Treasure Island in 1950 (Aaarh, Jim, lad)

Chitty bang bang at The Odeon.

Never been a fan of going flicks;only been about 4 times.
Prefer to watch a movie in the comfort of my own home
I do recall the first time I ever went though,It was the early 70's,I would have been around 8/9/10 years old and went to the old Odeon with pals to watch a new James Bond film.
Can't remember if it was Connery or Moore
Never been a Bond fan either.

Walt Disney's 'The Cat From Outer Space', Unit Four, Brierfield. Either that or 'Star Wars'. My memory is too hazy.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:30 pm**

My first memories of going to the pictures was the Saturday morning club in Rawtenstall.
Mostly Looney Tunes and Popeye. Does this count?

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:32 pm**

It involves the cinema, so I'll let it stand.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:44 pm**

Summer Holiday at the Grand, Nelson.
1963.

The first one I sneaked into a film underage was Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" at the Unit Four, Brierfield, I think.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:47 pm**

Now I know the bar scene in Star Wars had some strange creatures, but don't remember a cat that could talk to people due to its special collar

Or do I !!!!!

ET at the Unit 4 in Shipley and then The last star fighter at the ABC in Bradford, are the first ones a remember watching at a cinema.

You know you're starting to get a little older when the ABC was demolished years ago to be replaced by an Adams, but they're now in the process of building a cinema on the same spot.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 7:46 pm**

Zulu at Tod cinema (1964 I guess because that was the year of release).

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 7:48 pm**

Paint Your Wagon with Lee Marvin. Or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Odeon Fareham late 60s.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 7:55 pm**

Either the rubbish late-70's/early-80's version of "Spiderman", or the equally bobbins "Saturn 3".

GOAL! The story of the 1966 World Cup

E.T. at the Nelson Grand with my dad

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:34 pm**

Flash Gordon, Roy Rodgers, Hopalong Cassidy etc at the Coliseum in Rosegrove in the early to mid fifties. The clay men in Flash Gordon scared me to death!

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:42 pm**

Zulu watched it twice.

Can't remember the first, there were a few Disney ones that we were taken to, plus the 'Saturday Morning's pictures with loads of shorts and one Cowboy/War/Adventure film!

But this was one of the first Big Film s I went to.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 9:06 pm**

Zulu. No idea when it was without googling but it was the year of it's release.

Posted: **Thu Mar 09, 2017 9:06 pm**

Star wars at an open air cinema on holiday in Turkey, still remember it to this day the opening scene with the star destroyer crawl. Probably is also the reason I have a slight star wars obsession.
