Regrets...

[yeahyeahyeah]

What film do you wish you had gone to the cinema to watch instead of at home? Mine would have to be Crouching Tiger Hidden Tiger and Shawshank Redemption!  

[natalie_1982]

Although I've never been able to watch this film all the way through as it absolutely terrifies me so much that I cried like a baby, I would like to have seen it at the cinema for that very reason - Texas Chain Saw Masacre (the original).

And for pure excitement it has to Rocky.

But unfortnately both are before my time!

Aaadddrrriiiiaaaannnnnn!

[yeahyeahyeah]

OH MY GOD, well natalie i tried watching Texas Chain Saw Masacre, the remake but couldn't it was torture! Which Rocky film? For me it would have to be Rocky 4! I used to fancy the russian boxer! Although he was mean to Rocky he was fit! Am i the only one who fancied him?

I would have liked to have seen Predator at the cinema, think that would have been good

[yeahyeahyeah]

Hey coffers1 we meet again! thanks for answering my question! Do u think you can answer the TV question!

I wish I had seen one of the Carry On films at their peak (mid to late 60s) but I'm too young. I enjoy watching them now, and yes I do accept that they are dated, but it would be great to see what the reaction was at the time. In fact I'm not bothered about individual films but wouldn't it be great to have gone to the flicks during its real heyday in the 40s? Jaws would have been a good one to see too, a whole theatre jumping when that head comes out. Now I'm off to answer YYY's question on telly.

Texas Chain Saw would be a good one, although I would probably faint in the cinema with all that blood!  When I watched it at home I had to keep turning it off and going back to it... very scary.  But the girl running around in the woods is very annoying as she seems to scream and run for about 20 mins!

[butter1]

another one would be one of Alfred Hitchcock films...very old but would have been great in their era!

[teamcool]

For me it has to be Seven, Kill Bill and Jaws. Im 19 so I guess Jurassic Park is the Jaws of my era, and what a film it was to see on the big screen.

[ll_billym]

The Matrix (first one)  I watched the 2 sequels at the cinema where they are meant to be watched.

I'll have to catch it at the cinema in 20 years time when they remaster them just like I did with the Star Wars trilogy.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Teamcool u sure did miss out not watching Kill Bill @ the cinema!

[coffers1]

How dare you!!!  Jurassic park is certainly NOT the Jaws of your era!!!

[yeahyeahyeah]

I agree with you coffers1! J.Park was good BUT Jaws was something else!

[johntheplamf]

The Grudge would have been good in a dark cinema, as i'm not usually bothered with horror films, this one required some substitute underware.

[hopalong]

Shawshank Redemption was a good film but I found it over long

[Kishimo]

To kind of change your question in a pointless way, I definately wish I hadn't seen The Phantom of the Operah at the cinema...soooo long and soooo boring.

[heshe]

hopalong that is blasphemy! not a bad word can be said against that film!

[brachiopod]

I saw Jaws at the cinema when it came out - I think it was the first 'AA' film (as they were then classified) that I saw.

When I went to see Close Encounters of the Third Kind, it was a good few weeks after the film's release so the initial rush had died down. In fact, it had died down so much, that there was me and three other people in the entire auditorium, one of whom was the cleaner. (And it wasn't one of your Multiplex shoe-box-sized audtitoria either - it was one of the massive old-fashioned cinemas, dark and empty apart from three other people!)

ET. i watched it first on pirate video and the effect was spoiled somewhat.
