I can't actually remember which was first Ghost, My Girl or Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but all stick out.

Ghost I saw seven times because my mother wanted to continue seeing it.
Snow White was the first and only time my entire family went to the cinema.
My Girl I saw with my sister and our babysitter, I thought is a terrible film.

The last film I saw was Matrix Revolutions which a boom-doggling film.

mine was the Star Wars Trilogy, when I was six or seven, omething like that! i didn't go to the loo through that whole fim! i nearly pissed my pants lol!

probably one of these star wars,freaky friday or grease all seen in a local cinema not one of those multiplexes as for the first well i cant remember which was out when
yes you could smoke then but not at the age i was !

the first i remember seeing was Bambi, god I still blart at that film now! (oops Im off, thinking about Bambis mum and Thumpers pathetic attempts to comfort Bambi) then Snow White, then King of Kings cos I went to a Catholic school and the cinema was just down the road so they made us go, i think i was 5 or 6.

the first film i went to see by myself was Kelly's Heroes, which even at 7 or 8 i thought was hilarious and i rarely miss it when its on telly now. I especially love the attack by Oddball's Shermans onto the german railyard while playing "All for the Love of Sunshine" and "I've been working on the Railroad" it's just hilarious violent belligerent lunacy.

perversely when I'vebneen watching Band of Brothers recently I keep sort of thinking of Kelly's Heroes. it's just an association thing!

our local flix was the Unit 4, which holds the UK record for the most showings of Towering inferno, gosh that's really interesting isn't it.

first film, urban commando with hulk hogan

I've got to applaud you all for admitting this stuff

I forgot, I may have seen something by "the childrens film foundation" at the flix in wigan before 81's condorman.

@taw - we had a unit 4 as well, I thought it was a one off cos it was so small. My dad hired an entire screen for £20 so I could take my mates to see Labyrinth on one of my birthdays! Oh and Kelly's Heroes - top top top film. I love Donald Sutherland though, he can do no wrong in my eyes (Favourite being "The First Great Train Robbery" with Mr Connery)

oh you mean that Bond film where he escapes from a Victorian prison and robs the train, down near where you live iirc, and Donald plays Felix Lighter. yeah thats a good Bond.

Empire Strikes Back, I was about 5 at the time and an absolute Star Wars nut. Still can't wait for Ep 3 too.

@taw now kellys heroes that was a film donald sutherland WAS the film
unfortunately never saw it on the big screen though

Jurassic Park, when I was 8, it was a big thing, my Dad wouldn't take me to see it till my birthday so I put up with all the other kids at school going on a bout how great it was. I had always been a dinosaur nut as a kid so you can understand how i was going crazy to see this thing, I went and read the original novel by Michael Crichton twice over! My grandparents from S.Africa were staying with us at the time too. So when my Dad took me to see it in Leicester Square for my first cinema trip ever, with my Grandad whom I rarely ever saw, to see the movie I had waited months to see, it was pretty darn special.
Aaah warm memories........

@Recusant - have you read The Lost World? I own all three books, but the first is by far the best , as with MOST films

I first saw some quality disney film, like Robin Hood or something. I know it was class.

@Card: 3 Jurassic Park books? ive only read the 2, whats the 3rd? I didnt think there was one. The books are FAR superior to the films though, even JP1, which RAWKED. The Lost World was basically Spielberg getting the basic plot and characters from Chrighton and then ****ing off the story for his own...which was poo. I dont know how long ago youve read JP but re-read the epilogue and then tell me who has died that CHRIGHTON then brings back to life for his sequel.


"Something wicked this way comes"

awww man I feel old now...I was 18 going on 19 when jurrasic park 1 came out. I cought it in a tiny cinema in ambelside, just north of windermere (lake district, uk).

@taw lol. so does that make "the rock", bond 30 years on?

yeh i already said that in another thread! course it's Bond. Ed Harris is Blofeld.
