Slippy, I saw my first film there too. Remember there was an ABC just along the road too.

By:
Beavis + Butthead do america. It was 12 rated and I wasn't old enough so had to try 2 places to actually see it.
|

By:
Yes mate, there was an ABC on the High Street as well. The Odeon had a Wimpy bar bang opposite and we'd pop in there after watching a film back in the day.

Thunderbirds Are Go (1966).
A film mainly remembered now for a performance by Cliff Richard and the Shadows, with the SUPERMARIONATION version of Hank Marvin frankly looking more realistic than the real-life one. I can recall the feeling of wonderment at seeing the big screen for the first time, which is a good job, because an hour and a half where you can't lipread the dialogue is hard going when you have the attention-span of a five-year-old. |

By:
The earliest one I remember was one of the Herbie ones. Couldn't tell you which one.
|
|
By:
A look at dates suggests it was Herbie Rides Again which was my instinctive pick anyway

The first one I remember is Peter Pan, 1968-ish. Went with my mum and aunt. During the journey to the cinema I remember they were quite amused when I told them how much I liked one of the girls in my play group.

By:
Used to get taken to the pictures a lot when I was young, can't remember the first but would have been quite young so probably a proper Disney cartoon like Snow White, Pinocchio etc. They were brilliant on the big screen at that age.

The obligatory choc ice and carton of Kiora at the interval of course was part and parcel of going to the cinema!

Hang on. I'd forgotten about Saturday morning children's matinees.
In that case my first film was Tarzan Goes To India, starring Jock Mahoney, at the Ambassador cinema, Farnham Rd, Slough, 1966. I had a Kia-Ora and a Fab lolly and never got to see the ending, as the manager put the lights up and abandoned proceedings owing to rioting. |

Oliver! My sister took me to see Yellow Submarine but I was so terrified of the gargoyles in the foyer of the theatre she had to use Plan B. Not sure whether I liked it but I know she enjoyed it.

By:
My parents took me to see the Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis. Meant to be a comedy, scared the sh1t out of me. Slept with the covers over my head for the next three or four years

Doris Day & Gordon MacRae - "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" or it may have been Hans Christian Anderson with Danny Kaye which I loved. |
