my first growm up film was the Beatles Help I went with my brother and his best friend

My parents took me to see Jungle Book and I can still remember crying all the way through. I was 3 years old and had got bored senseless with the first film. I seem to remember it was a swashbuckler with loads of sword fighting.

The Ten Commandments (thanks Father).

Children's films were considered trivial :-(((

I think the film that made the most impression on me as a child was The Robe. It had a huge cast and all seemed so real to me. I suppose I was about eleven

Bambi might well have been my first tip to the cinema as a child . We all started crying and Mum hadn't got a hanky with her . After that , when ever any of us said we were going to the pictures she would ask " have you got a hanky in case it's sad "........lol

I vividly remember going to see the musical " Camelot " ( I must have been 6 years old and I fell madly in love with Lancelot ( Franco Nero ) .

Tale of Two Cities. But I was the "chaperone" for my sister and her new boyfriend. I was about 5.

The first film that was for me was Bambi. Apparently I cried. Not been able to watch it since!!

I think my first film was either Bambi or like BrummieHelen has mentioned, the Wizard of Oz or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I do know tho that I always fell asleep half way through (after the ice creams at the interval..I was smart enuf to stay awake for that!!) waking up at the end and Mum having to explain how the story ended.

thanks Rose.

dying to know what Mummo was doing in Fareham!!!

Ann, it was Moira Shearer :)

Well it was either at the Savoy or the Embassy in Fareham hants. Bambi.
then in 1947 in Paignton probably (we were on holiday in Brixham) was taken to see The Bells Of St Marys with Bing Crosby.
Didn't go often to the cinema. next one was again Fareham and was the red shoes. (I think it was called, was it Moira Shearer?)

Mine was The Wizard of Oz. Mum was a big fan of Judy Garland and I was about 4 or 5 when Mum took me. You know the scene where they go to see the Wizard and he is behind the curtain and he starts talking, well I screamed the place down, I was terrified of his voice and Mum had to take me out. I couldn't watch the film until several years later. My next film was The Sound of Music, then Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Those were the days. choc ices, and orange maid juice in the square plastic containers.

Six Texas Rangers (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!) Rode in the sun (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!)

Six men of justice rode into an ambush with death for all but one.
One lone survivor (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!) Lay on the trail (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!)

Found there by Tonto, the brave Indian Tonto. He lived to tell the tale.
Hi-Yo, Silver! Hi-Yo, Silver, away! Hi-Yo, Silver! Hi-Yo, Silver, away!

His wounds quickly mended (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!) And then in the night (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!)

Six graves were put there to hide from the outlaws that one man lived to fight.
He chose silver bullets (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!) The sign of his name (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!) A mask to disguise him

A great silver stallion, and thus began his fame
Hi-Yo, Silver! Hi-Yo, Silver, away! Hi-Yo, Silver! Hi-Yo, Silver, away! The Lone Ranger is his name!

sorry forgot to add the first film l saw was at the embassy in fareham hampshire and it was pollyanna starring hayley mills.
