Do you remember the first time you were taken to the cinema to see a film? What was the film, how old was you and what do you remember? I can't remember how old I was but I know the film was Casper. My big sister took me and it was only 50p for me to get in. She picked me up just after I got home from school and we got the bus into town. We had to run from the box office to the screen room because the film was about to start. There wasn't many people in there so we got great seats. It was great lol

I don't remember the first movie that I ever saw at the theaters. I saw alot of movies. I remember the first one I saw with my grandma was the movie the Dark Crystal, she took me and a few of my other cousins to go see it. I didn't even know anything about the movie, that was the first time I had heard anything about it. I just remember my grandma called my mom and told me to get ready. I didn't even know where we were going, the movie theater was packed, must've been a first showing or something. It's a great memorey for me!!

I think my first memory of a movie in the theater was "Prancer". It was a christmas movie about a reindeer, I remember actually being scared during the movie. I'm not even sure about what age you should start taking kids to the theater. I always cringe when I walk in and there is a group of young kids.

I do as well, you just know that they are going to start shouting or crying at some point in the film. I think that maybe 10 years is the right age to start taking them. They know at that age that they can't always start shouting.

I was in second grade. We went to watch the film "Dirt Bike Kid" (I am not sure if this is the actual title, but this is what I remember). This was with my classmates. The whole primary classes of our school went. The cinema was just across the school. I think the school commisioned the whole cinema to be open at that time. Not really sure.

My first trip to Cinema was when I was 13 years old already. I was with my cousins and we were watching a Filipino movie, I forgot what movie was that. We have no cinemas in our town we only have betamax.hehehe. But the first movie I ever saw was "Super Man" which starred Christopher Reeve, I was about 10 years old at that time.

Hi, I don't remember the first time I want to the movies but I bet it was a kids movie,maybe a disney movie. My parents used to give my sister and me a dollar and we would buy popcorn and candy with only 1 dollar so that was years and years ago.
