Home Alone ( 1st one ) . UCI in Tallaght. I even took me shoes and socks off -- Don't ask me why.. I was about 7 at the time lol.

juicyduckie

Either The Lion King in 1994 or Toy Story in 1995 - in the old Adelphi cinema in Dundalk. Brilliant spot that. Also distinctly remember being taken to see Inspector Gadget in the Adelphi in 1999 by my "cool" youngest auntie. My parents weren't mad into the cinema unfortunately.

Santa Claus the movie in the old rat infested dump of a cinema in Tralee.

Happy days! Can still remember the fusty old smell and the crappy projector.

Teyla Emmagan

ET, in the Savoy. I pulled the veil off a nun in the row in front of me from sitting on the chair while it was 'up' (and falling off repeatedly). Then Romancing the Stone and The Black Cauldron (both in the Ambassador). Then Big Trouble in Little China in the Classic in Harold's Cross.

Good times.

If it was a special preview showing, I was wondering what that smell was :pac:

groovie

It was a Saturday matinee, and they were showing Mary Poppins, summer 1974. I went on my own too. The cinema's a bookshop now.

smash

I think it was The Black Cauldron. Or maybe it was Peter Pan.

mickstupp

Robin Hood. The Disney one with the foxes, bears, lions and a snake. Great movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070608/

D-FENS

The Muppet Movie (1979). I lost it when Animal took "insta-grow" pills and turned into a giant, frightened the cr*p outta me.
2nd time was Empire Strikes Back, guess what, lost it when Luke lost his hand/gained a crap Dad and Han got frozen in carbonite.
I was scared of the fold-up chairs too, thought they could snap up while I was sitting in them and squash me like a toasted sandwitch.
A harrowing start to a long since happy love affair with the movie theatre.

gobnaitolunacy

High Spirits, a long forgotten Peter O'Toole vehicle.

chocksaway

The Lion King in the Savoy on O'Connell Street in Dublin. Mam and Dad bought us those huge jelly cola bottles too

krusty_10

Airport 1975 - followed by The Towering Inferno. I thought Jaws was my first movie, but these were out the previous year in 1974. I just remember the Jaws one more because I was 9 and my dad took me to an evening showing. It was dark when I arrived home and I ran with fear from the car to the house.

Napper Hawkins

"All Dogs Go To Heaven" around 1989 in Stillorgan. I would've been 5 or 6.

Haven't seen it since, think I'll watch it tonight! Yay!

markfinn

King Solomon's Mines, in Waterford. Myself and the Da... Some things just stick in the memory, as we didn't even have a TV (or neighbors with TVs) back then.

Draydis80

The santa claus movie with dudley moore, can't remember what year though. Saw it in the Savoy in Limerick city.

Mike Litoris

My sisters were forced to bring me to see an Elvis movie in the Adelphi some time in the late 70's. Nobody can remember which one it was and I was about 4 at the time.:p

Superman is the first movie I can remember going to see in the Adelphi too.

Plazaman

Herbie, The Love Bug in The Savoy in Sligo. I bought sweets and a can of Rio in with me.

Hot day outside, hot enough inside the cinema, went to open the can and it exploded all over me and about five people in my immediate vicinity. I was so shocked I didn't see the thicko in front of me get up and try to hit me a slap. He was about 20 I was a timid 11 year old but he missed and knocked the can out of my hand straight into the face of a even bigger guy next to me. Cue argy bargy between the two, me getting the hell out of there and leaving at least 5 seats of the Savoy stickier than they already were.

Never did see what happened to Herbie

Shane.C

Monsters Inc. in Castlebar

ShadowHearth

I think it was "Allien". My parents took me to cinema to watch that. I know I was around 5 years old. Did not had a clue wtf is happening on screen.

JURASSIC FCUKING PARK

What was the first film you saw in the cinema??? I went with my older sister to see Return From Witch Mountain, 1978 I think! The queue was huge!

Was there only one screen? Did you bring a bag of sweets with you or were you posh and had money to spend there?

Wasn't long before I did my fair share of shiftin' in the cinema, in the double seats behind the people in steerage stalls!

Not still with your sister, right...?

jprender

Star Wars, 1977.

BUBBLE WRAP

Never been to the cinema. But I used to watch Glenroe on the telly with my dad.
