having gone with my family i remember enjoying it but after jogging my memory with the trailer, it must've been the thrill of the outing as a whole that i enjoyed rather than the film itself!

My first cinema experience was when my mum took me to see Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I was too young at the time to enjoy it but my mum loved it so much that we stayed in for the next showing aswell

I remember my mum telling me the first time I went to the cinema was to watch Snow White, story goes that the witch scared the shit out of me, man that was a bad 21st I was in fact 4 years old, it was nearly 32 years ago



Funnily enough, I've never really liked watching the old cartoon since, so...

^ I saw that in the cinema when it first came out also.

I have been told by my parents I saw various different Disney films in the cinema including The Jungle Book but don't remember the experience of any of them.
First film I can properly remember seeing in the cinema is ... no, honestly ... Star Wars.
(There was no "Episode IV" subtitle nonsense when it first came out.)

It was cold, it was snowy, and it was a long train journey to a proper city with a cinema to see it.

I think probably must have seen it in January 1978 as I don't associate it with Christmas time at all, so it had probably been out for a few weeks. (It was released in late December in the UK).

The first film I can actually remember seeing and enjoying in a cinema was Star Wars. The film was so popular at the time that we had to go to another county to watch it
We couldn't get tickets for the picture house in Dumfries so we crossed the border and watched it in Carlisle

The Lion king or Home Alone 2 i think but my memory as a kid is woeful, it feels like my life started when i was about 10

this was mine

Raiders of the lost ark. ( that makes me feel old )

^ I clearly remember taking my little brother to the cinema to see that the year it came out; in a matinee showing during summer holidays....so I feel older !
It was in a cinema in a fairly small town - there was hardly anybody else there watching it. Weird.
I guess, again, it had probably been out a while.

Living in a town with no cinema, in those days we probably only went to 2 or 3 films a year, during holidays or day trips !!

( puts on Yorkshire accent : " 2 or 3 films a year ? You were lucky...we used to dream of...." etc )
