What was your first preview?

I can't remember what mine was through FMUK. However I can remember the bad old days from before SFF.

YOu would b*y Heat magazine. rush to the cinema, no tickets arrived. Go back next day, all tickets gone

Can't remember mine with FMUK either but I do remeber once winning tickets to Love at First Bite at the Cornerhouse. It was an early morning affair and we were given a Bucks Fizz breakfast along with some goodies.

Next Three Days at Cineworld Wandsworth. I thought we wouldn't make it. We come five minutes late and not worried, thinking there would be adverts.

I am so new, my first one was the very recent Amour.
What can I say, better late than never.

My first one was The Sapphires but the first free tickets I got from SFF was Forever Crazy

[eumenides]

One of the first I can remember was as a student watching Jackie Brown with SeeFilmFirst but at the same time Empire would do freebie tickets. You'd take your copy to the cinema to get an actual glossy paper ticket; I remember saving such a ticket for The Faculty. Quality wasn't always assured; One Last Kiss was a freebie I regret to this day!

Edit: Just realised i already posted here 18 months ago , but i think this one is still MUCH more mature so leaving it be

Short version:
Law Abiding Citizen

Long Version:
I remember it was back when Avatar was doing the "20 minute" screenings, and i suddenly somehow found out that they are putting out codes for these screenings. I then suddenly found a code looking dazed and confused on the internet. I offered it a home with me aslong as it gets me into the screening. It was a mutual benefit. Then i got really addicted to this idea. Codes=Cinema Screenings. It boggled the mind and i was always wanting to be part of a test screening audience or go to a film preview. Then i googled til i just couldn't google no more when i came across a post recommending FMUK. I signed up and went to the Free Film section and i was like: "None of these are films i know of. I knew this would be too good to be true. Its probably B movies or arthouse screenings.". Then suddenly i decided to actually IMDB one of the ones coming up, Law Abiding Citizen, and read the synopsis and saw who was in it. I was like: "Actually this might be good". Then i got the code and went to the Watford screening. Still believing that it was still too good to be true. Then had my fears "confirmed" when the ticket guys had no idea about the screening and were completely clueless. I figured this was part of some elaborate con and i felt stupid for falling for it even when i had doubts. They got the manager and while i waiting more people arrived with the same ticket and then my fears rested a bit. Then they organised a Queue and then we got let in to the screen. Then i got even more addicted when i realised there were no trailers attached to this. I was expecting something amateurish and independent still but what followed was a great film. Probably skewed in my eyes as i wasn't expecting much but i loved it and had a great story. Then what really sealed the deal for me was when i was on my way home from the screening i saw a Bus advertising Law Abiding Citizen, but it had the release date like 8 days later. Thats when i got all drunk with imaginary power and i knew that this site would be the best place to make a nest in
