Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
When the North Wind Blows - 1974 - ABC Basingstoke
it was the forerunner to Grizzly Adams TV show.
We went to a late afternoon screening, but couldn't get in as it was packed, so my Dad took me home and I had to go to bed and have a sleep and go back for the evening screening. I remember it so vividly and I was only 3 in 1974.

Not sure, the first cinema I remember going to was the one at Marble Arch, think it was an Odeon.
Saw some of those Children's Film Foundation efforts like Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World at the Hammersmith Odeon's matinees. Plus Herbie films and one called Watch Out We're Mad, which was an American kids' film full of slapstick punch-ups and big cars - great stuff.

Yipchaa!
Think we're pretty close, yeah.
Not sure what we're counting as 'grown up', but JP was definitely one of, if not the, first (we're probably not counting Hook
).

I can remember going to see Thunderbirds Are Go, but IMDB tells me that it came out in 1966 which was the year I was born 
It was the single most exciting event in my life up to that point.
The next week in Woolworths, my dad said we were going to the cinema again to see something called Oliver. I thought all films at the flicks would have explosions and space ships, so Oliver proved to be my life's first great disappointment.

Earliest I definitely remember is Diamonds are forever.. Crispin Glovers dad scared the shit out of me (he was in the film, not the cinema). In the good old days of ice cream usherettes, interludes between films and I may be imagining this.. an organist still appearing?

Is that not the wrong way round? First I remember is ET but sure I was told I saw Jungle book before that?
