Cinema Memories
Inspired by comments made in the 'Top Ten Tuesday' thread...what films have you seen at the cinema? I don't mean this week, this month or even this year I mean what movies (good, bad or subsequently released by 88Films) have you seen in the past, either on original release or as a re-release and what memories or anecdotes do you have? In the 70's, I saw:
In the 80's I saw
In the 90's I saw
In the 00's I saw
More will be added when I remember them

Respect due S. I'll stick my oar in here to relate this then ... As a child I had yearly hospital visits, which always led to a cinema visit after. Hence seeing Moonraker, The Black Hole, The Spaceman & King Arthur ... but my ma would not take me into Alien C'est la vie .... A lot later, me and a mate went to see Audition ... which was fun. 3 of us watching Miike's deranged vision. Just after she removed the foot, the single chap got up and left More indeed to come!!

My first trip to the cinema as a child was for E.T. I went to see Return of the Jedi with my mum, friend and friend's mum and I think I saw Temple of Doom at the cinema too. Moonraker was actually shown to us at school (on a big cinema-like screen) for Xmas one year, which was awesome. Then it was quite a long break before I began going more regularly as a teen, with 1989 being full of the likes of Batman, Last Crusade and BTTF 2. First movie I saw in the cinema in Aussieland after emigrating was T2. Legendary. In recent years ones that spring to mind are The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which was the first film I saw in the cinema after moving states to Queensland. And Beauty and the Beast in 2017 was memorable as we were supposedly getting a category 5 hurricane heading our way that day, but I was like "Stuff it! I'm going anyway!" |

I suppose my one and only experience of a true cinema breakdown is worth a mention - during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 2010, in the sequence where Harry and Hermione are being attacked by the snake - the film honest to goodness broke down and plunged to black. Everyone had to leave room and were offered refunds, which some took, as they didn't know when or if they'd be able to get it going/pick it up. I held out a bit longer, and they thankfully did get it back up from where they left off! That being said, I do remember one time - can't remember the movie - they started showing a film upside down! |

When Texas Chainsaw Massacre was finally re-released in cinemas uncut, I can't remember the year, probably around 1999. I went to an afternoon viewing and I was the only person in the screen which only added to the tension!

I already had the film on pirate video, but I wanted to watch the reactions of those who had never seen the movie as much as I wanted to see the film itself on the big screen It was the same when I saw 'The Exorcist' - I knew what was coming, and I was interested in whether it still had the same impact for a cynical and jaded audience who had not seen it before
