Too many to list as as a kid I was a member of the 'Saturday Morning Picture Club' at the Rio in Dalston which had films for a quid a go. We went virtually every saturday. It was mostly older films, but they had some real treasures there, like the 5000 hands of Dr T

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

But if we're talking things which were big releases at the time then Superman IV, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, the Black Cauldron, Willow, Return to Oz

You sure you don't mean 'The Seven Faces of Dr. Lau'?

Some Disney thing about Robin Hood, with all the roles played by anthropomorphic cartoon animals (Robin was a fox).

Saw Empire before Star Wars.

Popeye (one you never see in Altman retrospectives).

I saw ET on my 6th birthday and cried very loudly through most of it

Don't remember seeing anything else as a child. Maybe I've forgotten or maybe i just never went to the cinema.

Dont know if that's the title but they were all in it.

 

[seeformiles]

Robin Hood (the Disney animated one), Sinbad & the Eye of the Tiger, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings (the animated version from about 1979 that everybody slags off but was really OK), The China Syndrome, Sunburn, The Wall, Grease - used to see loads of stuff until our local cinema closed down in 1982 (damn you VHS!!!)

 

[seeformiles]

I remember going to see "Fame" and lots of parents dragging their kids out because it was a lot swearier than the TV series - also "Saturday Night Fever" - the "A-Certificate" version which was rather short.

 

[Swan]

The first film I remember was The sound of music.My youngest brother asked our mum to turn the volume down as the noise was keeping him awake.

 

[dylanredefined]

Think disneys peter pan was the first movie I watched as a child .

[rover07]

First film i saw....Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla! 1975 ish

 

[FiFi]

We lived overseas when I first started watching films, and the only ones available were screened in the Officers Wardroom every couple of months. It depended on what the Navy thought was suitable for "family viewing".
Mostly it was Disney films, so I had a good grounding in the "classics".

When we came home the local cinema had a Saturday morning film club, and so that was mostly Children's Film Foundation stuff.

One of the first films we went to see "as an outing" would have been Star Wars when I was about 11yrs old.
(And I've had a bit of a crush on Han Solo every since )

 

[rollinder]

Never Ending Story, Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Saw Never Ending Story at primary school - forget if it was on video or the visiting cinima that set up a portable screen in the hall - I know they showed us Danny the Champian Of The World, and a Heman & Shera cartoon (& I was disapointed that it wasn't the liveaction Heman film there'd been all the fuss about on tv)

saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit first in the cinima (my mum fell asleep in it) then on video in school.

others that I remember: various Disney reissues including Bambi,
remember one or two films having Wuzzles cartoons at the begining,
All Dogs Go To Heaven, Three Men And A Little Lady, Hunny I shrunk The Kids - all when I was about 8/9.
Madame Doubtfire when I was 12 - burst into tears in Macdonalds afterwards at what I thought was the unfairness of the ending because he got to see his kids in the end. (due to being from a split-up family - not living with my mum and only seeing my dad a few times a year)

 

[El Jefe]

The Amazing Mr Blunden.

I loved that movie
