Passin thru

Moonraker with my dad at the Savoy Dublin

Chicken Run - I was three and still remember it

Putin

E.T. with my bestmate and both our Mums.

Daith

Fairly sure it was He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword

BattleCorp

I went to see the Jungle Book. That's the first one.

The first one I went to without my Mammy, (she brought me there, I went in, she came back and collected me when it was over) was probably 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea or Return of Captain Nemo. I can't really remember it much except that there was a Captain Nemo.

Cee-Jay-Cee

1977 The Rescuers (animated)

I was along with my mum and sister. Remember it very vividly.

Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" ... Still love it!!

Three Men and a Little Lady. In the Tallaght Square which was newly built. It was the best day ever!!

For me, it was Who Framed Roger Rabbit? at the Savoy on O'Connell Street in the summer of 1988. Great movie. Loved it then and still love it now.:)

Roaster

I can't remember which I saw first but it was a toss-up between
The AristoCats or The Jungle Book in The Ambassador.

Star Wars (the real original) in the Savoy with my Dad and a few friends for my 8th birthday. What an introduction to the big screen. My son is now 8 and I'll be bringing him and my Dad to the next instalment in December.

Whitewinged

I cant remember which was the first but it was either Batman with Jack Nicolson as The Joker, Ghostbusters 2 or Rodger Rabbit.

twirlagig

Mine was Popeye in 1980 I think.
Robin Williams was in it.

KatW4

The Lion King. My uncle brought me and my dad was the projectionist!

tadcan

The Last unicorn in the local fleapit made famous by protesting priests. Not that the two bear any relation.

Rubberlegs

I begged to be brought to see 20,000 Leagues under the sea. It was the late 70s, I was about 6. I thought the "leagues" were some type of monster, and was thoroughly disappointed. I sat there chatting and whistling, and my mother had to leave with me.
The first movie I went to see with a friend was The Beastmaster. I can't remember much about it, except we sat right at the very front, and kept falling out of the seats:)

Jakey Rolling

Watch Out We're Mad and Benji so it must have been 1974.
We were thrown out of the cinema during Benji for raucous behaviour so I never did get to see the end.

Next thing I can vividly remember is Star Wars in 1977.

ET at the Dara cinema main st Naas! my sister cried her eyes out

dilallio

My first movie was The Cowboys starring John Wayne. Saw it in the Savoy in Galway sometime around 1973.

SparrowHawk

First one I remember was James Bond - Moonraker

ha the square was a very big deal!! The dundrum of it's time only even bigger because it was a first!

Nerdlingr

Think it may have been either The Black Cauldron or The Never Ending Story.

RhubarbCrumble

101 Dalmatians, around 1985/86. My aunt brought me. It was in the local small rural cinema, and I was absolutely TERRIFIED of Cruella De Ville and had to turn my back to the screen everytime she came on (I was about 5)

DanielODonnell

First I remember was Godzilla in 1998 though it was probably Toy Story or another Disney film around 1996

RupertsHabit

star wars iirc.

on a projector in the school gym.

probably illegal and stealing copyright but everything was so different then.

Anaiyela

Jurrasic Park! Great film

appledrop

An American Tail-In the classic cinema in Harolds Cross.

I still cry if I ever hear the song 'Somewhere out there' and think of poor little Fievel all alone looking for his family. :rolleyes:

huggles85

The first one I can remember was 'The Mask' with Cameron Diaz and Jim Carrey. I was only a child but even the scene with Cameron in the red dress walking into the bank (or wherever it was) was iconic.

Classic film, still great after all these years.

Usernemises

Who framed roger rabbit. Haven't thought of that in a while, might dig it out and rewatch for old times sake.
