Ooh, I think The Little Mermaid with my grannie in Southampton might have been my first. I must have been young though as she died before I started school.
Jurassic Park I don't remember where - must have been a more appropriate age.
I remember seeing Babe at a friends birthday. He was called Bahram, so when the fucking sheep started blurting out 'bah ram ewe' his mum lost it.
Godzilla with a couple of older cousins from another country I barely knew. Got very into Jamiroquai for at least 3 days after that.
A little later on I remember my dad taking me to see Gladiator and, on another day, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - both mid-week, so was feeling billy big bollocks at school the next day.
In Brighton we used to go to various cinemas and screenings multiple times a week. In Devon and as a parent I've been to the cinema once in the past 5 years (Dune when a friend visited and even then I felt guilty despite literally being forced out of the door by mrs cyoa). Can't wait til age appropriateness of films starts to align with kiddos age/ability to cope. Modern releases aimed at very young kids seem so much more chaotic and stressful than ones I remember growing up with.
