What's not to like about McDonald's? A perfectly adequate snack option I say . . . !

It certainly is, as this guy will tell you:

As if Big Mac's look like that!

That burger looks like its 5ft tall, not the squashed bit of mouse shit you actually get.

I have no idea! My memory is bad at the best of of times let alone going back that far. Probably a Disney animation or something like a Herbie film. Definitely remember seeing Robin Hood and Herbie Rides Again early on but those were also the days when rereleases were common and no way I can remember when I saw Snow White and Jungle Book etc..

Ah.. Rereleases and second features. Those were the days. One second feature I saw was A Fistful Of Dynamite when I was probably about 12 and saw a few Bud Spencer and Terence Hill films. Also seen most of the 60s Bond films on the big screen.

My dad took me to see VON RYAN'S EXPRESS in 66, and in 70 he took me to see A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, I was only 6 for VRE, I remember it looked strange after only watching a B/W tv, as a 10 year old Clint was awesome(in the proper use of the word) and I was film fan from then on, my mum took me to see BAMBI in 71, and yep, cried like a good un.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

"Tales of Beatrix Potter" 1971 which would have made me 5. I've never been able to look at a man in tights and a frog mask since.

Thank God, I thought I was going to show myself up as the oldest member of the forum.

My earliest viewing experiences were The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Treasure Island, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Kelly's Heroes and The Land That Time Forgot. The early 70's was awesome!

And I was old enough to see 18 rated films before many of the forum members were even born! But hey, that meant I got to see films like Cujo, Videodrome, Creepshow, Day of the Dead, Psycho 2 and Phantasm II on their first theatrical runs. But, and I'm almost ashamed to say it, my first 18 rated film at the cinema was Risky Business...

Totally forgot about that. People and At The Earth's Core as well. Amazing how Doug McClure was a big star then!

My first 18 rated film was some Pia Zadora flick..

I was working at my local ABC Cinema collecting tickets during school holidays and the manager didn't really care much about my age!
Got to see Sudden Impact about 5 times one holiday when I was only 15.

My first film at the cinema that I remember was Fox & The Hound, which is still one of my all time favourite Disney movies.

My first 18 movie at cinema was either Coppolas Dracula or Freddys Dead.
