My First X
Can you remember what was the first X (or 18) rated film you saw? For people around my age and older this would have been at the cinema, for those a bit younger probably on video, and for those younger still on DVD (no doubt it’ll be via the internet for many people these days). Mine was ‘Cabaret’ in 1972 when I was twelve. I saw it at the Phoenix cinema in Wallasey Village, which had two screens – I’d paid to see whatever was on the other screen, which would have had the old A classification and been deemed suitable for someone of my age, but I wasn’t into it and, by way of trying to salvage my evening, this resulted in a successful attempt to slip into ‘Cabaret’ unnoticed. I knew nothing about the film beforehand, but it would make a lasting impression on me.
