What was the first film you ever saw in a cinema?

Mine was Dr No, we were on holiday in Wales and my order brother wanted to see it. Not sure it was suitable for a 6/7 year old. But about a year later I went to see Summer Holiday and loved it, our local cinema owner always let children in free in the afternoons during the school summer holidays and I went everyday.

I don't remember how old I was so it was either Bambi or The Wizard of Oz. I had nightmares for weeks after, seeing the latter. That witch and those blinking flying monkeys have a lot to answer for.

My grandmother took me to see ‘Pollyanna’ starring Hayley Mills. Not long after I went with dad and my brother to see ‘Zulu’.

We used to go to saturday morning pictures and could buy half a hot dog for sixpence. The first film I can remember was Old yeller or Mary Poppins.

I think Finian’s Rainbow at the cinema was the first film remember. I was taken by my grandmother. After that I went quite often with friends. When I was a lot smaller she took me with her to watch Jacques Tati films in the afternoon which bored me witless but she didn’t have a babysitter (I stayed with her often). 😵‍💫

I think it was called ‘The Big Circus’, but all I can remember was a man walking across the Niagara Falls on a tightrope.

I went with a friend and her mum, I was only about 6, the mum gave me the cinema ticket to hold, I dropped it and spent the whole film fretting I had lost it and would get into trouble!

Disneys “Cinderella”

Kalamazoo

The King and I with Yul Brynner.

Another one for Bambi - I cried too.

Mine was also Summer Holiday at the ABC cinema in Derby. I would only have been about 5.

Bambi.

Bambi.

The Comancheros with John Wayne. I think I was about 11. Must have been one Dad wanted to see.

Bambi ,taken by my mother and older sister. I cried and it still makes me sad every time I think about it!

We were never taken to the cinema

I think the first was 'Jungle Book'. The whole family went and I remember one of my brothers being scared of Shere Khan the tiger, whereas I was petrified by the snake. Even now it gives me the creeps.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,i still love it.
As an adult you pick up things you were too young to understand.

The first one that sticks in my mind was Quo Vadis, a sword and sandals fest with Robert Taylor (adored Robert Taylor), Peter Ustinov and Deborah Kerr. I went to see it with my dad and we shared a small box of Black Magic. Christians were fed to lions, Rome burned, Nero fiddled and Robert Taylor saved the day! What was not to like? I got a gold star for writing about it in my English class at school!

I'm pretty sure it was Bambi at this tiny, old cinema which is no longer there. That was around 1957. My mother took me to a movie at least once a week for years because we had no TV. I saw Fantasia and all the Disney movies, the musicals, Seven Brides etc. and all the epics, 10 Commandments, King of Kings, the list was endless. Then anything with a U certificate was fair game, even if it was an adults' film, and that included a few war movies.

Davy Crocket. My Dad took my sister & Me to a matinee. The queue was right around the block. I really enjoyed it until 'he died at the Alamo'. Then it was tears all the way home.

I can’t remember if it was my first, probably not, but my first memory is going to South Pacific with my Nan and us taking our hot water bottles with us to have on our knees

My mother told me that I cried all the way through 'Lassie Come Home' can't remember the film except it was about a lovely dog.

I can’t remember it, but it was Bambi. My dad took me whilst my mum was in hospital after giving birth to my sister.

Dr Doolittle, starring Rex Harrison. I was probably about 9. A neighbour took me. I thought the Push me-Pull you was fantastic

Saturday morning pictures lots of cowboy films and yes Flash Gordon.
