I must have been quite young when i was taken to see the red shoes and have to say I don't remember any of it, not even the end. If it was that bad maybe I blanked it out!!

I was 5 and my mother took me to see Bambi. When Bambi lost her Mother, by all accounts I cried my eyes out and Mum had to take me out of the Cinema. She told me the Cinema was called the Little Vic in Bradford. I really don't remember it but my Mum reminded me off it often lol.

i was about 7 (1940s),my mother took us to see GONE WITH THE WIND a film about 4hrs long and we where bored to death.because of that sticking in my mind i never watched that film for 40 yrs.
when i finally did i didn't realise what a great film it was

Mmmmmm If my memory serves me well it was either Mary poppins or Sound of music in the 60s.

PICTURE HOUSE IN LEITH IN EDINBURGH

GREYFRIARS BOBBY IN THE LATE 50'S AND I KEPT GOING FOR WEEKS AFTER LOL

Well I got taken to the Jacy Cartoon Cinema by my big brother when I was around 4 (mainly becuase he wanted to go and taking me meant Mum would pay). The first 'grown up cinema' was in Clacton in the pouring rain and Mary Poppins (I was bored rigid at 5 years only and with the attention span of a goldfish) I played shops in the gangway with empy sweet wrappers and the usherette fell over me in the dark much to Mum's horror.

Hi Rambling Rose,
I cant remember the exact film, but it was in black and white and there was a guy playing a piano at the bottom of the screen....LOL

I can remember going to see The sound Of music. Im 50 so probably in the 60's. Cant remember if I went before that but that is the one that stands out.

LOL at George.... was it Rudy Valentino by any chance... (joking lol...but my mum was a big fan)

Bambi, then Sound of Music

Hi All

I know exactly what it was - Darby O'Gill and the Little People. I remember it clearly as I managed to contract nits from the cinema seat that night. Much activity in the Derbac comb department and predictable jokes about little people followed ...

I couldn't remember the film at all, so I've had a look on Google and it was apparently a Walt Disney featuring in a supporting role a very young Sean Connery.

My first films were Dr Doolittle with Rex Harrison, and then the Jungle Book - the snakes swirling eyes scared the poop out of me for weeks afterwards, I was 28 at the time! Just kidding I was about 4 or 5 years old.
