Mine was Disney's Peter Pan. I was six. I really wanted to be Wendy, and asked my dad on the way out "How old is Wendy?" He replied "About ten, I think." I was really cross with him! Smile

FourTeaFallOut. I still can't believe it's rated 'U'. I was only 4 years old - I am guessing my dad, who took me, imagined a nice cuddly film about fluffy bunnies 😂

Santa claus the movie like @cactuschris - the cinema gave out posters which was exciting.

Can't remember! But, I think I remember movies having an interval? Have I imagined that? In the late 80s/early 90s?

I remember seeing White Fang, Beauty and The Beast and My Girl (cried my eyes out at the last two)

It was Disney’s Pocahontas when I was about 6 or 7. We were taken by a friend of mum’s and it felt like a real treat! Though I remember us kiddies all there with our mini bags of popcorn and thinking the adults’ bags were bloody enormous!

Escape from the dark when I was 6 so1976. Sobbed my heart out and have never watched it since.

I remember we had to leave early from Jumanji as my younger brother became hysterical at one point and was sobbing.

Parents never took us to the cinema, so my first time going was as a teen and it was Wayne's World. I went with my brother and his friends.

The Water Babies, love it.

Bugsy Malone. I would have been 3 when it was first released but it must've taken a couple of years to get to NI as I was about 5 or 6 when I saw it and absolutely loved it!

FruityPolos · 13/02/2022 20:44

Disney's Jungle book around 1983. With my dad, my mum was at home with my baby sister, I would have been around 3 or 4. The thing I remember most is my dad taking me in the paper shop next to the cinema and I could chose any sweet I wanted for the cinema. I chose a mint aero 😁
