Popeye the Movie with Robyn Williams. Slept through it.  After that would've been Return of the Jedi.  Remember that though.  My old boy took me to see Ghostbusters as well at the Vic.  Class movie.  Also remember seeing A View to a Kill and The Temple of Doom around that time as well.

Not old enough to remember but apparently it was "Superman".

I only know because my Mum's recanted the tale of me 'shooshing' the guy infront for talking and then eventually slapping him on his baldy napper, countless times over the years.

Think i was 3 or 4.

The first time I went to the show it was a family night out, went for a meal I'm sure it was called The Gordon Restaurant then went on to the ABC to see


but fell asleep early into the film I must have been around 4 or 5 at the time, I have seen it many times since and thourally enjoyed it, but the first one I remember watching all the way through  was this

 The Sword In The Stone

Can't really remember tbh but I did go and see Empire Strikes Back at the  Victoria although my mum told me that I'd been to the pictures before that.

I mind going to see one of the Karate Kid films with Eddy as a bairn an witnessing another kid do Thon kick thing right in another kids puss in the lobby after the film had finished.

Do you mind that Ed?

First memory is Annie. (1982)

I mind of going to see Annie too, and I was of the mind it must have been my first.  But I also remember going to see Herbie Goes Bananas at the pictures and having just checked that was two years before Annie so I reckon it was that.

Can't remember my first trip to the cinema. My earliest memory was Ghostbusters II which scared me shitless, still a firm favourite though and much prefer it to Ghostbusters I even if Bill Murray doesn't.

Yanosh and Vigo were a scary pairing. The guy who played Vigo was an interesting character in real life and had a bit of a sad end. Wilhelm Von Homberg - there is a decent bio of him on IMDB and Wiki, also a documentary on YouTube but I am unsure if it's still up.

If you play Ghostbusters the videogame on the PS3, Xbox 360 versions it takes place after the second film and you can speak to Vigo down in the reception area of the firehouse as the painting is hung up there. Its a great game written by Akyrod and Ramis with all the original cast apart from Weaver and Moranis. Its the true Ghostbusters 3.

You Only Live Twice. About 5 or 6 at the time.


It's a tie between this and Diamonds Are Forever for my fave. Bond film.
