There were quite a lot but Dr Zhivago,Mary Poppins and Far from the Madding Crowd left quite an impression. They weren’t my choice but at least they gave me the opportunity to sit next to a girl in the dark.

The first Cinemascope movie I saw was Rose Marie (starring the bloody awful Howard Keel I think) which they had the nerve to show at Saturday morning pictures.
A Three Stooges movie gave me nightmares (in an Egyption tomb) but forget the name.
And one of my favourite movies as a child - Elephant Walk - was the biggest load of rubbish when I saw it as an adult.
I loved Fantasia when I first saw it and still do, as well as all the other Walt Disney cartoons though I think Dumbo was my favourite.
But as a teenager films like Reach for the Sky , The Guns of Naverone and anything with Brigit Bardoe and Julie Christie in it

I didn’t go to too many movies as a teenager since someone would need to drive me there. By the time someone could drive, there were other things to do.
But some movies I remember when I was a young teenager are Fiddler on the Roof and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I loved Snoopy movies too, and might have seen a couple as a young teenager.
When I was a bit older, I saw Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Deer Hunter (hated that; I was on a date, ugh)
