Thekwango · 20 Apr 2022 at 12:11

would have been E.T. or one of the limited random releases of The Jungle Book.......either way it was too many years ago for me to remember!!

E.T. here, I must've been 4 and can still remember the trip (well, the queue mostly..)

On my own, earliest I can recall = SW EPVI Age 17.

Havn't seen that film in over 30 years, but I still remember the car being really cool!

Star Trek the voyage home '86 in Newcastle in what I believe was the odian down the road from Fenwick's

Left early though as I was 5 ish at the time and it was too dark and noisy at the time , dad was a massive film fan.

First one that I properly remember was Transformers the movie (the original and still the best! ) in 1986 at the old Odeon in Wimbledon.

My poor mum suffered through it whilst I absolutely loved it, even if I did cry when 'that' moment happened early in the film

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in 1968 i was 4 years old and I still remember it. Or was it the Jungle Book a year earlier? One or the other.

JamesH85 · 26 Apr 2022 at 07:41

Titanic

Star Wars 1977, my Dad took me and my brother, I was 6 he was 4.

It's one of my favourite memories of my late Dad, picking me up straight from school and driving us to the cinema, like he was possessed by James Hunt, in his Austin Morris 1100 before the film started.

You always remember your first as they say

Never ending Story - 1984 when I was at kindergarten/elementary in the US.

Jenz · 3 May 2022 at 20:25

The Aristocats :cry:

Buffalo2102 · 13 May 2022 at 22:00

The Great Race. Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood & Jack Lemmon. Fantastic.

esoteric · 16 May 2022 at 17:41

First film I remember was Jurrassic Park. I was either 8 or recently turned 9.

BUDFORCE · 16 May 2022 at 17:51

I genuinely can't remember.

I do remember Jurassic Park is the one that stood out the most, I'd say even today.

I had definitely seen movies in the cinema before though, I'd seen the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that was released about 3 years prior for example.

Edit: Going back through this thread I remember seeing The Land Before Time, which was 1988 apparently.

Same. A bit annoying actually, one of those things you'd think you'd remember.

I know I saw Jurassic Park but can't remember sod all about it. Should really watch that again, as that's the last time I saw it.

Much better memory seeing the Matrix at cinema.
