" Cheaper by the dozen " did any film leave a lasting memory for you ?

Well, I watched 'The Third Man' in almost its entirety last night for the first time and I remembered Harry Lime illuminated in the doorway lighting a cigarette, and the strange child shouting and pursuing Holly Martins in the street. A brilliant film.

Definitely Harry Lime lighting his cigarette, wait for it every time I watch the film.

And Bogart in Casablanca saying - ‘we’ll always have Paris’

A few
The colour purple
Rabbitproof fence
and very very much earlier The inn of the sixth happiness

It must be amazing to have such talent. I can still remember clearly a scene from The Colour Purple and I havent seen it since it came out originally.

Great expectations,i remember pretty much all of it,and i love the end.

The Kim Novak and William Holden dance scene in the film 'Picnic'.Wow!
From then onwards I never missed a William Holden film.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for me, the scene at the end. I love Jack Nicholson.

Finding studying Shakespeare a bit of a pain way back when, our school screened Henry V with Laurence Olivier - I was mesmerised . I got it then !

Schindler's List. I went to the cinema to watch this and it is the only time I experienced a cinema audience sitting silently in their seats after the film had ended. Very moving.

The Killing Fields when Dith Pran is reunited, after the Vietnamese war ,and leaps into his old friends arms . The friend says " Please forgive me " but Dith Pran hugs him saying " Nothing to forgive .

The Killing Fields is also one of mine tiredoldwoman - the skulls and bones from the Pol Pot murders as he ran across the field, plus the scene when Dith Pran's photo went blank because they couldn't develop it. The helicopter scene cribbed from the film for the deodorant advert was a disgrace.

I saw Mary Poppins when I was 6 and I love it to this day!
Thomasina, The Love Bug, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, My Fair Lady,

Cinema was an extremely rare treat when I was small (no TV untilI was 11, either) so I still remember being taken to see Disney’s Fantasia when no more than 4 or 5.

A vivid memory of that has always been the Rite Of Spring sequence, with Stravinsky’s score accompanying the story of evolution - at least up to the end of the dinosaurs. I still remember my father explaining the bit where fishes evolved into land animals. He must have been very good at explaining, since I understood at once.

But the Night On Bare Mountain bit was always very scary!
Dds always loved the Pastoral Symphony bit - and I swear that’s where whoever it was got the idea for my Little Pony!

Oh, and I never saw it as a child, but dd was hooked from about 3 on Disney’s Cinderella, which I’ve always adored - ditto Sleeping Beauty.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for me, the scene at the end. I love Jack Nicholson.

I watched that for the first time in a cinema in Milan. At the end the whole audience applauded.

I made my son watch it 20 years later and he loved it, it was still wonderful. Definitely in my top 3.

The pilot flying that helicopter bought a boat from us.
The same pilot did the mountain rescue scene in the film Cliffhanger. He said it was the scariest thing he’s ever done: and he was a pilot in the Vietnam war.

So many films from childhood to the present day. That’s why I love cinema so much and I’m so upset at the thought that I won’t be going to one for the foreseeable future. To be transported to another world for a few hours and then find yourself still thinking about that film for ages afterwards is amazing. I guess the earliest ones were How the West was Won (still love it), the Korda Jungle Book, Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty (loved Malificent). Then TheLife of Pi, Pans Labyrinth, Edward Scissorhands, Last of the Mohicans, Let the Right One In. And many more.

I loved The Inn of the Sixth Happiness as a child. All those little children being carried by the bigger ones singing Nick Nack Paddy Wack. It was so moving.

I was shocked by the beheading I remember.

I must have been about 7 when I saw A Kid For Two Farthings and I still remember the poor little kid dying because the little boy didn't know how to feed it.

And there's always "Fredo you're my brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides against the family again"

'Carrie', seen about 40 years ago - the knife throwing scene
'Black Christmas' - nearly all of it and it still scares me

Old Yeller. I saw it in the cinema and it really upset me. Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nuryev dancing. I saw that as a special film at the cinema too. Mum took me and my friend out of school for the afternoon. The Sound of Music. I went with the Brownies and loved it. Like some of you, Schindler's List. It was so moving. The film version of Jesus Christ Superstar. I know every word of every song.

I thought my daughter was too young to see "Jaws"; she insisted that all the other kids had seen it, so we went. After,
I asked if she had enjoyed it and she said the best bit was "when the whale munched the man"; I was a good swimmer but now
whenever I am out of my depth I can hear the music of the
sharks approaching......

My first cinema memory is Lady Hamilton. I was enjoying the tall ships but when the battle began I shouted out ‘I don’t want those lovely ships to sink!
Snow White, memorable for the witch terrifying me. ‘Why have they brought me to see this?’ I wondered.
I loved the ballet costumes and dancing in The Red Shoes but found the ending disturbing. When I recently saw the ballet on stage the ending seemed to prompt an angina attack!
A Yankee at King Arthur’s Court with Danny Kaye and other films of his from the 1940s and 50s. So funny and colourful.
Meet Me in St Louis, I remembered the songs and costumes with pleasure but only realised fairly recently that I was very confused and upset by the Hallowe’en scenes and Margaret O’Brien crying.
I adored any Lassie film.
An Australian bw film about lost children called Bush Christmas sticks in my memory.

When I was young, went to the cinema for the first time with a friend and her mum, cannot remember the film title, but it was about that man who walked across Niagara Falls on a tightrope, Blondel?

I wanted to go to the loo, but didn’t dare ask where the toilets were!

Must have sat cross legged through the latter part of the film!
