First film you ever saw at the pictures and where?

Interestingly enough my mum went with her cousins to see Snow White on a re-release in the 1950s, but they weren't allowed in because it was rated PG as it was too scary, and they didn't have an adult with them. Apparently they went to see "White Christmas" instead.
 
BTW, does anyone else suddenly feel incredibly old, reading that some people went to see their first film in the 1990s?
 
The Little Mermaid, at the Odean in Leicester, 1989. Not the one on Freemens Park, the one actually in town that got closed down years ago. I absolutley loved it and I loved that cinema. Aah memories. I actually thought I was Ariel and used to sing the songs in the bath all the time!
 
I can remember the first movie I went to on my own (with my cousin who is 16 days younger than me, actually) It was meant to be Xanadu, but it was in the days before 'Feature Only' and there was a short about white water rafting, we left at intermission and never got to see the actual movie...
 
No idea what the film was (something with Cary Grant in it probably) but it was definitely in Chadwell Heath near Romford; an Odeon I think. It was probably the first moving picture I had ever seen. It was definitely the first moving colour picture I had seen on a big screen and that is what I remember to this day. This was early fifties and I cannot remember having even seen a TV working before unless I had maybe seen one in a shop window.
