The last film you saw ( at the cinema)?

I had not been to the cinema for quite a while, but then I discovered that our local Odeon has a Silver Cinema for 55+ twice a week at set times.
For the grand sum of £3.00, you get to see a very recent film, with a cup of tea or coffee and a bikkie thrown in !!!!!
I saw "The Martian" a couple of weeks ago, and I loved it. The great thing is that there are no little horrors kicking the seat behind you, and better still, no-one chats on their mobile or even talks during the film.
The PERFECT cinema experience.
All that was missing were the Usherettes with their torches and the trays of ice creams, but hey ho, that was a different era

Spotlight - great film!

Dad's Army
The Lady in the Van
Brooklyn

The Revenant sounds rather too grizzly for my liking, despite the excellent Leo de Cap.

Revenant indeed Grizzly so is the bear !?

The Danish Girl at our local independent cinema, good film and Eddie Redmayne is excellent as a woman.

Spotlight - yes, i agree, a great film.

The Danish Girl - very sad! I am now encouraged to go and see Hail Ceaser.

Saw Hail Caesar yesterday. 6 of us and not one of us liked it. Very disjointed and not as funny as we had been led to believe.

Last film we saw was Hail Caesar. We've seen a few this year (Spotlight was our favourite). Our local cinema has a super Tues deal which we use. We did try the cheapo oldies deals a couple of times but had unfortunate experiences both times. On the first occasion a woman spilt coffee all over another member of the audience and wouldn't even apologise! The second time, someone near us either let one off or had an accident and the whole back row stank! We all sat holding tissues to our noses for most of the performance. So we decided to give them a miss thereafter!

Rams at Warwick University Arts Centre last week

An Icelandic film about two neighbouring sheep farmers, brothers who haven't spoken in forty years.
When scrapie strikes and all the sheep are ordered to be destroyed they are forced together to try to hide a few of the sheep and a prize winning ram from the authorities.
It doesn't end well, for the brothers or the sheep but I won't give away the end in case any of you plan to see it.

Spectre.

I have been to the cinema in France more times in the last few years than in the last ten in UK. the local cinema in a very working town in one of the poorest areas in France has a fantastic huge Art Deco cinema. It has great sound, huge screen and very comfortable huge seats.

If there is an English speaking blockbuster going around the manager puts on an original version screening at 6pm on a Monday evening for only €5 for us retirees. Perfect time as we don't fall asleep. He has also put on buffets in the bar afterwards, and brought in an English choir to do a performance before the screening of Quartet. Such ambience.

We have an art house cinema a bus ride away and I visit regularly and have a loyalty card. Last went yesterday to see The Pearl Button. Unbelievable film and one that will stick in my memory for years. Totally wonderful but not easy to watch. Can recommended thoroughly if you are interested in history and human rights.

Tha Lady in the Van - very good. I am a member of the Seniors club - film, cup of tea and a biscuit £3.29. This week it will be Bridge of Spies. Looking forward to it.

Last film I saw was dads army.

But all the major films eventually get shown at the senior screen mornings.
Very good value, £3.50, free tea or coffee and a biscuit.

It seems to be more expensive if you go in the evenings or weekends.

Our last film was "Hail, Caesar": I loved it, DH bored and actually fell asleep! Before that "Spotlight" and "Revenant" - loved them both.

Pamaga I almost spilt my own coffee, laughing at your post.What an experience! Now I am feeling very put off those senior do's, biccie or no biccie!

Bridge of Spies, £3 Silver Cinema bargain. Really enjoyed it.

Yes, Bridge of Spies was the best film I've seen for years. It should have won the Oscar.

What do you think about going to the cinema on your own, its not always easy to find someone to go with. Does anyone else go on their own?

I do sometimes; went to see a rather gory film once that the S.O. wouldn't have liked. The cinema does have viewing for groups of people who go on their own and they can discuss the film afterwards [the only drawback to going on your own imo is not having someone to chat to about the film afterwards, but better to see it on your own than with someone who is bored throughout].

The Lady in The Van - excellent. The lack of loud background music when they were talking was fantastic. The Curzon cinema comes to our village hall, £6

matson never got back about the 'Grimsby.. not impressed' so am wondering if it was the place, not a film.

Eddie the eagle my daughter got tickets from showfilm first its a real story where a slightly challenged child (I had several of these) conquers all bullying,teasing and lack of backing it is a real feel good film.which encourages perseverance and the fact his Mums beliefs and support got him through

I go on my own! Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm lucky to have a very local small cinema close by, though. I can go "on the hop" if I see something I like, or if I like a film no-one else does like Psycho.

Yes Nora, I go alone. I felt self-conscious the first time but soon realised that no-one was remotely interested! I'm not the only one, and it doesn't cost me a thought now. I really enjoy going in the daytime and have probably seen more films this last year than in the previous thirty! Go for it, I'd say.
