To be perfectly honest... The only Superman film that ever was a truly cinematic experience was the original 1978 film. I love it to bits.

It's amazing how incredibly dated the second film now is in comparison to it, considering back in its day it was considered to be superior.... hardly. That's what happens when you go for the cheap joke, camp up a perfectly good storyline and cut and paste two entirely different films together.

I don't think the lousy editing job done by Michael Thau on the Richard Donner Cut was anything to write home about either.

It just added another film to Superman's list of cobbled together entries:

Superman II (1980)
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006)

As for the last two with Reeve, well.... Supergirl is a much better, more enjoyable film then Superman III IMO, and there is just no comparison with IV. Supergirl doesn't deserve it. Supergirl gets lots of slack, from mainly US folk I might add, that it just never deserved. It tanked there due to its terrible treatment by the studios that were meant to be promoting it mainly. It didn't help that TriStar cut the film to shreRAB in the US either. It was a big hit here, and everywhere else it was released. I think it's a more enjoyable film than Superman Returns even.
 
The first film I ever saw was Toy Story, I was about 4 at the time. :)

Still remember it to this day (I dropped all my popcorn) :cry:
 
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I remember loving the bit where he flies through the window for some reason. Think I'll have been about 6 or 7.
 
I saw Disney's Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs at the cinema with my Dad when I was 3.
I was scared of the witches big nose, and my Dad had to take me out of the cinema to be consoled by an usherette.
Even though my Dad has probably told me the story a lot, I can still kind of remember it too.
 
My First Cinema trip was either Beethoven or Snow White (Obv not first time around)

I remember trying to injure myself before Beethoven since I never knew it was actually about a Dog and had heard of the composer guy so I thought the film would be crappy music.

Thankfully it was a dog!
 
You poor guy. :o

Superman IV is such a terrible film. I re-watched the DVD a while back in fact to remind myself of just how low it sank into dreadfulness, and all I kept thinking was "Wow! Supergirl wasn't even THAT bad" and boy was I right. Supergirl is the type of film where "so bad it's good" is applied. The story is what really hurt Supergirl. Technically, it was excellent for the time, Jerry GolRABmith's score is very memorable, second only to Williams' Superman. There isn't one person I have come across that didn't guess the signature theme as being either Superman, or Supergirl. Superman IV however is just shameful on all counts.

My first big-screen adventure was to see E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Classic Spielberg. I loved it then... I love it now. :D
 
i think mine might have been "Herbie Goes bananas" at the cineman...I would have been about 4...
the first film i remember being subjected to on the telly was "Watership Down" or "Tarka the Otter".
Neither of which left a good impression on me!! :eek:
 
Yes you may be right there. i remember that one too. I just remember a scene in Boatniks where Stephanie powers spots some jewels in a bin or something. I was going to see it on BBC2 but it had already been on when i read this forum! going back to DiamonRAB On Wheels, wasnt that shown as a double bill with The WorlRAB greatest Athlete starring Jan Michael Vincent? The younger ones on here must wonder what on earth we are going on about!!!
 
I can't really remember, but I've got it into my head that it was a double bill of Disney's 'Treasure Island' and Disney's The Sword In the Stone'. All I really remember was being scared when the pirate climbed up the rigging to Jim Hawkins in the crow's nest and the rotter had a knife hidden in his sock. Couldn't tell you what I thought of 'The Sword In The Stone', though I've seen it many times since, of course.

Surely they mean the 1995 movie (or maybe not).

The first movie I remember watching was Masters Of The Universe,I was a big He-Man fan at the time.

The first movie I ever saw in cinema was Ghostbusters 2.
 
The first film I remember seeing at the cinema was The Land Before Time.
Those were the days when there will still short films before the main feature. :)
