First Film At The Flicks

Dan mentioned this on another thread.

The first film I saw at the pictures was Live And Let Die at the Odeon in Aberdeen when I was 8.

What was your first magical excursion to cinemaland?

Im away for a pint to try and recover!!

 

Cannae mind the film but it was that wee cinema next to the Sub club on Jamaica St with my dad

 

We used to get packed off to the Saturday matinee every week at the George in Bellshill when we were weans so I canny really remember what the first movie I saw was. Probably a Bruce Lee cos I can remember me and my brothers Kung Fuing the **** out of each other on the way home. Or maybe we were just doing that for the hell of it.

I did see "Jaws" at that very same cinema one Saturday afternoon when I was about 10. That's the first memorable one I can think of.

 

I believe I know that fine establishment. Long gone now.

 

First was Sleeping Beauty.

Second was Gremlins.

Both in the almost mythical Kelburn in Paisley.

 

I saw Star Wars at the Odeon on Byers Road.

Also saw Jenny get her boobies out in Logans Run there as a 12 year old.

 

Roger Rabbit

 

Terminator 2 as far as I can remember.

Where? **** knows. I was 4 years old.

 

You were 8 Fingers.

 

I have 9 you ****

 

Got me ma to take me to see Slade's film whatever it was called, I was only 3 or 4. Apparently it had lots of swearing in it but it didn't matter as I was more interested in wandering round the cinema than watching the film.

 

Was that the seedy one that used to show soft porn?

 

First film I remember seeing was Karate Kid at the Cinema @ Butlins, Skegness

 

Slade in Flame ...

Think mine might have been Zulu ... there was actually a cinema at the end of my road in inner city Leicester 'The Aylestone Cinema' - film was so good the old man took me back to see it for at least 3 nights in the week it was on - Cinema became a Bingo Hall before a mysterious fire enabled developers to level it and put up lots of flats in its' place ...

 

Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1974) at the Classic, Low Fell, Gateshead, Tyne & Wear.
I was eight.

 

Roger Rabbit was mine too I think.

One of my first hard ons also.

 

Thanks, looks like I was 3. Think the second film was Abba. Was well into pop music at an early age.

 

Ha ha saw Jaws with my younger brother in the Classic and the trick was duck under the seats and watch it again for the next showingWhy innocence jumpers for goalposts and all

ps the hand bit still put the frighteners on me even 2nd time
