What movies you watched in the cinema? Well from memory, the first one i remember was 'Anne of a thousand days' my mothers choice, we were on holidays in ilfracombe (camping in a tent, we couldn't afford hotels and the like in them days), anyway it rained all week, so a few days later we went to see 'The battle of Britain', which i really enjoyed. As far as Swansea cinemas go, the first movie i remember watching was Zulu, in the Carlton with my late Grandfather, awesome movie and still one of my all time favourites, certainly better than the Poseidon Adventure with Ernest Borgnine, who whilst a decent actor he always seemed to play bit parts like 'cabbie' in Escape from New York. Anyway, enough of me waffling on, i've also seen The Sound of Music, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and hundreds of others over the years, if you'd like any more info on movies i've watched in the cinema, it's best you PM me though as you know what people are like on here.
Oh, and Saving Private Ryan, I watched that one in the cinema as well, great movie, but not as good as Thunderbirds.

The gobble sisters is a classic. The old Friday night late opening at the cinema, early 90's ( scuse the pun ) Took a girlfriend to the cinema in 1993. I thought it would be a nailed on BJ once her inside leg got all wet. She was a bit slow coming forward so I whipped the old boy out for her to scream and run out the cinema, true story. Never saw her again until last Christmas, I winked at her and smiled. She looked like she was going to vomit.
I think she remembered.

Ah yes also known as "The Regal"
I was traumatised by my early visits to the cinema as a pre-10-year-old.
My mum had suffered some unwelcome advances from some sleaze bag when visiting on her own so she must have persuaded the manager to allow her to take me in with her on future visits, assuming my presence would deter these dubious chancers.
As a result I witnessed a lot of violent X rated films (as they were called then) at a tender age.
The scenes imprinted on my too young mind included:
Bullit: some bloke getting shot in the face from close range in the iconic Steve McQueen thriller.
Shalako: the gorgeous Brigitte Bardot getting choked to death by Red Indians with her own necklace.
Once Upon a Time in the West: young children being brutally & sadistically murdered by a psychopathic Henry Fonda (this was the most shocking to me).
Spaghetti Westerns: too much violence to list.
Strangely, these are now amongst my all time favourite films.

Yep, although was only 6 when it closed down.
Around there reminds me of a typical sat night growing up, chippy from castle street chip shop, and a betamax movie from Moruzzi's, both just up the road from there. Innocent times.

We watched Gladiator in the old cinema in Tenby years ago. I said at the time and maintain to this day that it's a bloody awful film.

Never watched it.
Worst experience was watching City Slickers in the old Port Talbot cinema. So bad, left 30 mins into it, sacrificing getting my fingers wet (lass was even in trackie bottoms ready). A bad film ruined the potential of a good day.
Has anyone ever had the misfortune of sitting through a turkey of a film so bad you feel like crying and for some reason your arse is aching on the seat.
Worse still you fall asleep and start snoring much to the annoyance of the audience.
I know I have.
This one was so bad recently I wanted to kick off and ask for a refund.

Part of the reason I won't go. I can't watch a film these days regardless of how good it is without nodding off.

Also, if it's shite, I will walk out.
Yeah nothing worse than 10 mins into a film you realise youve been duped.
But human nature being what it is most of us will sit through it till the end in order to get our monies worth or at least in the hope,often in vain,that things will improve.but seldom does.
There should be a complaints section in all cinemas.

Les miserables is shit. People singing at one another dreadful. To cap it off some fat stinker had her face in a bag of Maltesers then minstrels and then revels. Big bags she ate the lot the fatty.

As a small kid growing up in the early 70s times were tough, money was tight and strikes were common. We didn't get to go to the pictures very often and I suppose not going as a kid hasn't generated a great enthusiasm in me to go now., but I think one of the first times I went the pictures was to see Bambi with my cousin as a birthday treat. One memorable trip (not) was my auntie and my mother taking me and my cousins to the Plaza in Port Talbot to see Gary Glitter and some other drivel, it was truly grim.
I can remember seeing Star Wars at the Odeon in Swansea in the mid 70s and being really bored and disappointed. Saw Jaws in the Plaza, big improvement on Gary Glitter! My cousins dad was one of the first people in our street to have a video, he worked down the steel works and got plenty of videos, it was much cheaper than the pictures!
Can also remember me and a mate going to the Abbey in Neath and blagging our way in to see The Wanderers, we were about 15 trying to get in to an 18, walked up to the till on tip toes to look taller!
Places like the Plaza, Odeon, Castle in Swansea all part of history and long gone now, the wife took one of the boys to the pictures this morning - £17 for the two of them - Scandalous!
