My first was Jurassic Park in the old cinema in Clonmel. I think I was 8 or 9 at the Time. Remember being terrified during the opening scene with the raptor cages. Still one of my favorite movies

The Black Couldron, I think it was a Disney movie in the mid 80s. I was more enthralled by the cinema than the movie.

God damn that was a rickety old stairs in the town hall theatre in Galway. I always preferred the Claddagh Palace in lower Salthill.

Popeye. For those that remember back then, the Popeye cartoon was on RTE everyday just before the news. So when the film came out I really wanted to see it.

The next one was ET, in the cinema that used to be on middle abbey st. And then a few months later, Snow White was re-released. I think I might have actually cried at those two (I was 5)

Professey Chin

Either Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Moonwalker.
Cant remember which was 1st

Zaph

The Godfather in 1972 when I was 5. It was at a drive-in in Toronto and admittedly I didn't see much of the film as myself, my sister and our Canadian cousin were smuggled in behind the front seats and told to stay hidden. We did take the odd sneak peek, but really spent most of the time eating popcorn or throwing it at each other.

First film I actually watched was Robin Hood when I was 7. It was on in the New Metropole (now the Screen beside Trinity), and I remember being sorely disappointed that it was a Disney film rather than live action and that Robin Hood was a fox.

herisson

on a family holiday to Kerry when i was 5, a cinema was playing Lady and the Tramp as part of the Kids Club type thing they did! that was 96 i think..

gremlins in the capial in cork...long time ago

first animated movie i saw in the cinema was either Aladin or Beauty and the beast , they had the aladin style cups for your drink, that was back when youd get a kids popcorn deal for free or for like 1.50 or something when going to a kids movie
UCI coolock, that used to be my usual cinema for a lot of my childhood, and quite a bit of my teenhood

The first actual movie, not cartoon, i saw in the cinema was Robin Hood, the one with kevin costner! still remember going to see that to this day, thought the witch was going to come through the screen at some point- no idea why though :o and developed my first proper celebrity crush on the Sheriff in it - Alan Rickman , but only him as the Sheriff apparrantly!
and had the first song ever i learnt all the words to by heart, the Bryan Adams one from it, still love it to this day!
I was 5

The Indian In The Cupboard

Went to see it with one of the lads in my class, his mother bought us...Remember thinking the movie was great, but have since re-watched it and only meh at best

emeraldstar

Beauty and the Beast, 1991, with my Dad, my brother and my sister. I think I ate Fox's Glacier Mints.

Not Morgan Freeman?

A young girl with a crush on Alan Rickman. That's a little odd.

Free Willy in 1993 when I was 9 on holidays in England, there weren't any cinemas near where I grew up. My next memory of going to the cinema is from 1996, when myself and my father and one of his friends made the trek to Dunmanway cinema to see Michael Collins, and everyone clapped and cheered at the end.

LH Pathe

Fern Gully with my dad and my younger sister. I would have been no more than four years old. I remember a very old fashioned cinema with red curtains that opened in front of the screen and a big chandelier that freaked my sister.

First film I saw was 'All Dogs go to Heaven' with my aunt, uncle and cousin. It was in The Ambassador and afterwards we went round to The Rotunda to visit my newly born brother ! That was 24 years ago! I don't remember having popcorn but I do remember getting a tub of ice-cream with the lime and raspberry syrup in it!
