Are you a regular cinema goer? we only go about four times a year these days, but usually enjoy it so should go more.
What did you go and see last?We saw the latest Bond film ( Dh's choice.)

I saw Lion too and would thoroughly recommend it

Saw 'Lion' a few weeks ago and loved it, even though it could have been half an hour shorter without losing impact. I'll gladly watch it again if it comes on TV.

Went to the cinema on my own last week as my cinema buddy didn't ffancy the film but it was fantastic Hidden Figures it was a cracker of a film and everyone clapped at the end of it which I thought was quite unusual
I pay £5 for a ticket and it s a lovely theatre that shows films as well as shows

I saw Beauty and the Beast last night and loved it!

Recently I, along with my grandson, who is 12 years old, watched film Kong: Skull Island (3D) - he liked it, and I was not very interested because I love movies like The Man with Thousand Faces (by the way there is a good website putlocker.rip/ where you can watch these films online because the cinemas last year's movies do not show)))

THAT SCENE in BFG Annodomini is so funny! I really thought I was going to have a little accident, I was laughing so much. DGSs were hysterical. The corgis ??????

Terribull we also saw it when it first came out and agree it is a masterpiece. Some of the images are so perfect and Leonard Rossiter's dance was perfection!

Penstemmon - I saw Barry Lyndon when it first came out in the mid '70s up in the west end and thought it was sublime, I still do have seen it several times since. A very beautful, underrated film, with a wonderful classical score, although I note that serious film buffs will place it among the all times greats. It's absolutely one of my all time favourites, along with first two Godfathers. All three have stood the test of time imo.

Yesterday I took 2 GC ages 10 and12 to see Swallows and Amazons, we all enjoyed it. There were adults there without children, possibly remembering a time when they read the book.

TrishTopcat Sun 21-Aug-16 17:43:45

BFG - took the grandchildren who loved it. A couple of days later we went to visit the Giants Causeway and the story of BFG got woven in with the story of Finn McCool, their imagination was running riot!

annodomini Sun 21-Aug-16 17:34:12

Went with GSs and another family to see the BFG. We all enjoyed it though some adults have said it's too long. The children (from 7 to 11) had no such complaint. Anyone who has been to see it will know which scene occasioned the greatest hilarity but I won't spoil it for you if you haven't. Mark Rylands was brilliant. As far as he could be from Thomas Cromwell. What a versatile actor he is. And the girl who played Sophie is very promising too. I also saw Jason Bourne the previous week with my DS1. It was good, but somewhat predictable.

I was at the BFI (Southbank, London) recently to see the remastered film of Barry Lyndon. 3 hours no break (the original screenings in 1975/6 had an intermission! I was worried I'd get fidgety but time flew by. Good old Stanley Kubrick knew how to make a good film!

GrandmaMoira Sun 21-Aug-16 16:34:14

I h ave now been to the cinema again. There's a new small cinema a few miles away and it has a weekly Silver Screen for over 60s showing so there was a small audience of older people. The adverts were loud but the film was the correct volume, as the noise I've heard about put me off but this was fine. I saw Me Before You and enjoyed it.

Ab Fab lets be generous 6 out of 10 but better than Demolition with Jake Gylenhall 3 out of 10. All I can say about that, it was different.

The best bit of Ab Fab was on a day a few weeks back when the temperature was over 30 degrees and it was a pleasure to sit in the air conditioned cinema.

We have the Meerkat thing so if we go Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon we both get in for £2.50 each......beat that!

BFG loved it before that in july was Florence Forster but wasnt so keen on that one

TerriBull Sat 20-Aug-16 19:05:53

POGS I'm with you on both of those films. I took my 6 year old gd to see BFG this afternoon, I thought it was wonderful, so did she, a thoroughly magical children's film, Speilberg does them so well and Mark Rylance very very good as was the young girl who played Sophie, not from acting school, completely naturaI, good casting. I imagine the DVD will be out for Chrismas, gd has already requested that for her stocking. Last film before that, Ab Fab load of old tosh. Also saw 45 years on DVD recently which I thought again was very good, excellent acting from the two leads, particularly Charlotte Rampling. Looking forward to Bridget Jones, hope it won't be as disappointing as AB Fab.

Judthepud2 Sat 20-Aug-16 10:26:30

Ah yes tiredoldwoman, the Bridget Jones film sounds like my treat. Looking forward to that one! Apparently she has a baby but the father is in doubt! Should be a laugh.

tiredoldwoman Sat 20-Aug-16 08:30:32

Last film I saw was Finding Dory , next one will be Bridget Jones , I've just seen it advertised . I have my best sleeps in the cinema !

gillybob Fri 19-Aug-16 23:36:13

Respect to you Jud I could only manage 1 from the list. Mind you I have them all next week so..........

Judthepud2 Fri 19-Aug-16 21:47:54

Last three films I have been to see have been: 'The Secret Life of Pets' (hilarious), 'The BFG' (brilliant) and 'Finding Dory' (not as good as 'Finding Nemo'). You can tell it's the school holidays, can't you? And that our weather here hasn't been great!

I cannot remember when I last went to the cinema, or what I saw. I am not really a sitter and watcher, I get too fidgetty and drive anyone with me mad because I keep wriggling around in my seat. I do not watch much television either, for much the same reasons, unless I am also reading a book or doing sewing at the same time. Perhaps I could take my Kindle with me when I go to the cinema.

POGS Fri 19-Aug-16 19:37:02

BFG which we all thoroughly enjoyed and before that AB FAB which was awful.

tiggypiro Fri 19-Aug-16 19:36:41

Finding Dory last week with the GS's. The most boring over hyped film I have seen in a long time. Even the GS's were finding it difficult to sit still.

Eloethan Fri 19-Aug-16 18:09:42

Jason Bourne. It was good, but my favourite is still the Bourne Identity.
