Not a clue what my 1st Cinema film was, my favourite for enjoyment, critically and all round game changing awesomeness is Pulp Fiction.

I watched Godlfinger in the Theater in the Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt(1971?)..Very Risky for how young I was and I rememebr there me and my brothers were there with out another soul.

True be told I would more then likely break down my Fav flicks into decades. 70`..Rocky would be one that stands out as well.

My favourite Film to watch at the Cinema would be Pulp Fiction, followed by True Romance. :neener:

The Social Network in recent years for some reason, I don't even use Facebook but there's something about that film that I love.

First film (as far as i remember) was 'The Games' starring Michael Crawford
Taken with the rest of the clan by my grandparents.

Best film of all time is a hard one.
I would have to plump for 'The Shawshank Redemption'.

Best film at the flicks, pictures, theatre, cinema :mrgreen:, would probably be 'The fellowship of The Ring' :cheers:

I think my first film was either Mary Poppins or Wizard of Oz, Nearly put me off the flicks for good.
However, when "A Clockwork Orange" came out I was down the local cinema like a shot. Unfortunately, as it spurned a lot of violence in real life, I was banned from seeing it so only managed to watch the first half before I had to be indoors. I've got it now on the computer.
Other films that stand out and havn't been mentioned are American Beauty, Blue Velvet and Gangster Number One.
Oh yeah - and the excellent No Country for Old Men.

Zulu in a small cinema in Blackpool sat near the front and believe me watching those girls dancing topless at the start affected me for the rest of my life .... I was only 7 ;)
My mind wandered and never came back :(
