First film you ever see at the cinema/pictures. on 00:00 - Sep 4 with 5251 views | CateLeBonR | Watership Down I think was certainly one of the first. I would have been 2/3 years old. It’s always remembered in my family for my acceptance of a load of Rabbits talking to each other. However as soon as the big white bird started speaking I wasn’t having any of it. “Seagulls can’t talk” I complained. | | | |
First film you ever see at the cinema/pictures. on 00:12 - Sep 4 with 5222 views | BrianMcCarthy | "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" in Bantry, West Cork. I'd say I was five or six. We'd just moved to West Cork from London and the film was already a couple of years old. A good couple of dozen of us were herded and carted into my Mom's old Peugeot (in Cork it's pronounced Pew-joe) and Mom, the poor Martyr, carted us off forty miles down the road to watch a load of old nonsense. And we didn't sit down for a second, and we didn't shut up for a second, and the poor Martyr must have been demented from it all. And it was magical. | |

Impossible to top that story Brian it brings back memories of my hurling days 2 cars to bring 15 lads approx to the match and the car arriving at game time when the pitch was 20 miles away . Back to topic I hobbled 2 miles on crutches (broke my big toe playing soccer a crime I know )to the local cinema in Ennis circa 1985 to see Footloose . Packed house of course no room so we looked next door and the place was empty showing Back To The Future so we sat down and it was superb. Fast forward 25 years and counting and my kids love all 3 movies espiceally Micheal J Fox trying an Irish accent ( Maggie get me hat ) so that was destiny . Never seen Footloose to this day and there is even a remake I think | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Did you have yoe-gurt in your pew-joe, Brian? I used to think it was supercool that they had Opels in Ireland, rather than cars named after a shabby part of South London. Back on topic, I think it might have been The Railway Children. Kilburn Grange, later The National. [Post edited 4 Sep 9:01]

First film you ever see at the cinema/pictures. on 09:23 - Sep 4 with 4732 views | Bluce_Ree | The first one I remember was Empire Strikes Back in 1981. I had seen one of the Disney films at some point around then (Snow White or some shit like that) but it must have been a showing of one of the really old ones. Anyway, Empire. I didn't have a clue what was going on, I fell asleep and when I left I realised my Mickey Mouse watch had fallen off my wrist. F**k Star Wars. | |

First film you ever see at the cinema/pictures. on 09:23 - Sep 4 with 4732 views | johann28 | In Scunthorpe in those days there were two cinemas, one was the big one, normally used for blockbusters, and another one, a smaller one used for less mainstream stuff. My dad intended to take me & my brother to Jungle Book at the main cinema, but dad being dad, got muddled and booked us into the wrong cinema. Dad being dad also, he didn't actually bother seeing the film too, just buggered off to the betting shop with a cheery 'see you later.' We stayed for about 10 minutes before being chucked out. That concludes the case for the defence m'lud as to why the first film I ever saw was Confessions of a Window Cleaner. It made quite an impression on me. [Post edited 4 Sep 9:25]

Great story Pat. We had two cars bringing up to 30 lads to matches - seatbelts what seatbelts! Back on topic, we had a traveling cinema come to our village in the 60's and early 70's so must have gone to that, but don't recall. Was brought to see 'King Lear' in Tubbercurry for my Inter Cert in '79, but first proper 'filum' that I saw was 'Grease in '78 in Ballina (Mayo version) | | | |
First film you ever see at the cinema/pictures. on 09:55 - Sep 4 with 4636 views | terryb | Davy Crockett, in the late 50's. It was being shown at the Astoria in Chesham (closed in 1959) & my father took the three of us. I assume my mother wanted us all out of the way! I think this was the only time I went to that cinema & we then had The Embassy available for another thirty years. I think Summer Holiday was the first I saw there & that A Hard Day's Night was the first I went to by myself. | | | |
