Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Seeing this today stirred my fondest memory of going to the cinema as a kid. One of my first times going unaccompanied, just with friends and no adults bossing us around, queueing to see young Skywalker find out an unpleasant truth.

We'd been queueing about half an hour before we got here on West Nile Street, and I recall briefly looking up, wondering whether such a sunny day could have been spent better. The end of the queue, where we'd joined, was actually back past the main entrance, a snake running all the way round the Odeon building!

In those pre-internet days, none of us knew what was coming and we were, 100%, gobsmacked.
