first movie you watched at the cinema

[Chojin]

Willow is the first that I remember. Saw it at two different cinemas.

 

[Earth[Tera].bin]

Hmm not 100% sure but a few spring to mind , E.T, Goonies, Flight of the Navigator or Never ending Story .

Looking back the 80s seemed a great decade for movies.

 

[Efour]

Walt Disney's robin hood.
But that was released in 1973 and I wasn't even born so I guess it was some school holiday replay

 

[Malevolence]

Looking back the 80s seemed a great decade for movies.

The 80s was the best decade for everything, not just movies.

 

[Hagar]

I remember a couple. A family outing to see Mary Poppins when it first came out In the mid sixties. From Russia with Love ditto in the early sixties and possibly the Parent Trap with Hayley Mills around the same time.

 

[No-One]

The Living Daylights while on a break in London. I think I would have been 7

 

[ChroniC]

Honey I shrunk the kids.

 

[cheesyboy]

Honey I shrunk the kids.

Hmmmm. This was released before The Little Mermaid, and I was pretty sure I saw it in the cinema, so maybe this was my first

 

[Freakbro]

I think it was Star Wars, mind blowing Sci Fi for a 7 y/o in those days!

 

[Gman]

The land before Time

Except music, horrendous.

 

[something daft already!!]

 

[hudson86]

Edit sorry thought this said best movie not first..

Jungle Book.. the original animated one.

 

[lokiss]

The cat From Outer Space.

Happy days. We rented all those Disney live action films on VHS on a Saturday.

 

[VincentHanna]

The first I can remember are Ghostbusters II and Turner and Hooch.

Whichever came out here first in 1989.

 

[Dup]

Jurassic Park in 1993. I was 10
for some reason i thought it was released in 1990, it wasn't it was '93.

Same here, I was 8. I remember getting a themed plastic drink bottle with an extendable straw.

My parents didn't really do a lot with me like zoos and theme parks so this one stands out a lot to me in my memories. It's also one of those films that won't ever happen again. The shock and awe of believable Dinosaurs on the big screen thinking that could happen to you tomorrow was a big deal. In 2022 everything is possible on the screen and nothing is really new, even to kids.

 

[ianh]

Some animated Disney (Peter pan, bambi etc) which was reshown in the late 80's. First film I remember was the original Star Wars on VHS/betamax as a kid around 82-ish I think.

 

[Gray2233]

It was either All Dogs Go to Heaven or a re-release of The Rescuers, I think it was at the Odeon in the Metreocentre.

 

[rids57]

First film I ever saw at the cinema was when my father took me to see Zulu in 1964, I was 7 at the time - I spent half the time with my jaw in my lap but what an experience

 

[jcr]

probably Bambi
