S11Beeky Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The Sound of Music with my big sister at the Classic in Fitzallen Sqaure or Guess Who's Coming to Dinner at Greystones Also remember going to see a Clockwork Orange (cert 18)at the same place with two mates when we were all only 14. One of the mates (now quite a well known actor/comedian) nearly blew our cover by asking if schoolkids had to pay full price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stenner Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've just read through this thread right from the beginning, what a lot of brilliant films are mentioned. My first recollection is being taken by a cousin or someone to the cinema on Union Street (The Palace I think) when I was about 3 or 4. The film was High Society and I never saw the end. From what I can recall, my relative fainted or something and we went to an office then had to leave part way through and all I can remember is being outside and crying then. I have watched it since though . The Exorcist has been mentioned as the one that frightened lots of people, well for me it was Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds at Studio 5 6 7 in the Wicker. I made my boyfriend leave before the end - and to this day, I still can't bear to watch it to the end if it's on TV. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heeley tyke Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I remember one film I saw at the Chantrey cinema. It was called "The Ape" and my grandfather had taken me. We had to leave as it was the night of the Blitz. I only lived a hundred yards from the cinema. I would have been about six years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashells Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Blue Hawaii Elvis Presley at Heeley Picture Palace. I was five at the time and went to the matinee (with a couple of friends - no adults - it was safe then!!) in a grass hula skirt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLITZER Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 At the Lansdown Palace,a film called "Bolero",with George Raft. There was also a 1d rush for kids on a saturday afternoon where the place was packed. Serials were popular,it would get to an exciting point where the hero looked like he had his chips,then it was "continued next week". We would speculate all week on the outcome,and then it was a case of "one bound and he was free" and ready to carry on his good work, In those days at the pictures,you got a news reel,a cartoon,a travelogue or "crime does not pay" short, a "B" film,and then the main feature. Today's cinemas only give you the main feature,and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
