Same here, remember going to odeon in fitzallen sq, was about 5 and went to see sound of music, also rememeber going to see bambi about same age and dad taking us to see one million years bc. was only about 6 or 7, god knows why he took us to see that, he must have fancied raquel welch, god bless him..

Sound of music is still my fave film ever.

Us kids would go to the Saturday Matinee at the Phoenix on Langsett Road, opposite Hillsborough Barracks, back in the 50s. Our favourite was always Norman Wisdom.

 

Our family treat every Saturday night was to go into Hillsborough, to the Park Cinema or Kinema, sometimes the Phoenix. On the way home we would get chips 'n cake (we couldn't afford fish in those days) from the fish 'n chip shop on Rudyard Road and then go to Jack's, at the top of Bamforth Street for a hot drink of Sarsaparilla.

 

I can remember seeing lots of films from the fifties, mainly war films or cowboys. One favourite was The River of No Return with that blond girl - what's 'er name? - must have been my first crush.

Oh - the memories... The three cinemas that Nodens mentions were also the regular ones where I grew up. Occasionally we'd go further afield to the Unity, Roscoe or Don. The first film I remember seeing was The Ladykillers (Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom) at the Park Cinema in about 1956 - hilariously funny. Jack's sarsparilla bar was also a regular haunt. Jack Lee must have retired in the mid-1970s; I doubt if you can get properly-brewed sarsparilla now - delicious hot or cold.

Hey beechnut

I bought a stoneware bottle of Mawson's Sarsaparilla (made to the original recipe) at the Rheged Centre, near Penrith, Cumbria last year. It's the first time I've had any since those days of my childhood. As I drank it I closed my eyes and for a minute I was back in Jack's in the good old days.

[Nigel Womersle 10]

it was either "the battle of britain" or "where eagles dare" can't remember whch cinema possibly abc or gaumont,it was a school trip one afternoon (myers grove) both great films.

the scariest i've ever seen was the "devil rides out" that was way back in the seventies at the studio 567 (can't remeber any of the actors/actress) it frightened the living daylights out of my then girlfriend so much so she woke her parents at around 2.30 am saying she could'nt sleep.boy did i get a right old rollocking of her father,god bless him,gone to the great rollocking platform in the sky. :wave:

[echo beach 587]

I can remember watching Snow White & Pinocchio at the Crookes Palace circa 1949. In 1950 I saw Cinderella and Treasure Island starring Robert Newton ( all Disney classics ) at the Gaumont. Remember the follow up

" The Adventures of Long John Silver " on TV ?

Another film that sticks in my memory is Captain Blood with Errol Flynn in the leading role. Although made in 1935 , before I was born , I saw it at the Hippodrome in the early 50's.
