What was the first movie you saw in a cinema?

[thaimeme]

School class trip. Good first cinema experience.

Nice...
Easily the best of the three. Great cast!!

95% filmed in FP - in the early sixties, there was not an international airport [even in Papeete] There was a small make-shift strip on Bora-Bora where the whole production was centred around, as shipping was too slow.

Mr. Brando, being enamored with the atmosphere - purchased a couple of islands off Tahiti and sired a couple of half-Tahitian children.

Wow.

Closeup of how the entrance looked like circa 1940:




If you're going to watch a film of a Raymond Chandler story then that is the kind of building you should do it in!

[Humbert]

^ Yes, it was a great theatre. On Manchester Blvd. and Crenshaw, just above Hollywood Park race track. I lived within walking distance.

[chassamui]

I once got snowed in at a hotel in northern Norway. Stuck there for 5 days with a Norge TV and VHS player and only one VHS tape.

It was The Green Berets - It was that or watch Norge TV. In those days they played on a permanent loop of Norge Orchestra, followed by Ski Jumping, followed by Langlauf racing, followed by Orchestra ........
Then John Wayne every night for 5 nights.

The Living Desert, Disney's first non-cartoon movie. Wonderful time lapse photography of the Mojave springing to life afer a rainfall. Been meaning to pick up a DVD to see if it is still magical.

My memory of the time is dim. After all more than half a century passed since then. But I believe it was Disney's Bambi.

[boloa]

Another movie I remember going to see was Von Ryan's Express .We had to get out of the rain on a wet summer holiday in Bognor,I would have been about 6 at the time.

[slimboyfat]

It was definitely a Disney movie but not sure which one.

The first visit to the cinema I can remember was a Disney double bill of Pinocchio and The Cat From Outer Space.

[Loy Toy]

A Hard Days Night by ther Beatles and yes the girls did squeal so load I could hardly hear the music.

[thaimeme]

Memory fades that far back....

I recall The Sand Pebbles [1966] - Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, et al.

Ah.....within some military facility [Saigon] - officer's club, extended PX. [???????]


Hell to get old.

[crepitas]

Hmm hard one used to go to "Saturday morning Pictures" at the local...Roy Rogers etc.
Do remember mum and dad taking me up to the West End to see The Dam Busters, and Elephant Walk....also South Pacific in "TODAO?" format whatever that was...

[Loy Toy]

In those early days we would go to the drive-in which was far more fun.

[jaiyenyen]

Saturday morning pictures was my first cinematic experience. I remember watching Pathe newsreels Newsreels, video, archive, film, footage, stills - British Pathé

First real movie was Zulu. Dad picked me up from school and took me as a treat for him failing his driving test. Mum had made us some sarnies to eat.

In those early days we would go to the drive-in which was far more fun.

Ahh, the drive in is a different beast.
