highlandjambo3 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 On the flip side of the thread title…….cinema films you hate: ”journey to the centre of the earth” the original one. My mum worked in the odeon late 70’s……… we, 5 of us (myself, two sisters, two brothers) used to stay at an aunts after school until my mum picked us up. Aunt was unwell for a week so, we had to jump on a bus out to the odeon where my mum would sneak us through a side door into the cinema………must have watched that 20 times over the week 🤬🤬🤬 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart of Darkness Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Not a fall in love with cinema moment but I will always remember when Bambi's mum got killed when watching the film in the Odeon around 75/76. Can still see it now, dark, big screen, and being absolutely terrified. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually go in order from best to worst in their release order. JP Lost World JP3 JW JW Fallen Kingdom JW Dominion JW on a whole was a massive let down, terrible cast and plots. JP manages to look more realistic then the current days CGI. Was pumped for Jurassic World but it was brutal , I dont think Chris Pratt can play any character other than star lord in any movie hes in.

frankblack Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I saw Star Wars, Superman, and the first Star Trek films when they were released. I can't help think my old man wanted to watch these so he took us along to pretend it was our treat! I didn't enjoy that Star Trek film despite liking the William Shatner TV series. Star Wars was the first time I saw jaw dropping special effects combined with a strong plot. That definitely opened up the imagination of a young kid. Incidentally just watched Marvels in the cinema. Had a day off after seeing The Cult last night and with it pissing down outside I felt it was worth doing. Its not as bad as being written up. I preferred the first film but this was pretty watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
