Film recommendations or otherwise

My local family run cinema live streams from various places.

I just went to see Royal Ballet's Giselle from the Royal Opera House- fantastic and what a bargain for better than front row seats for £12!

We used to see a lot of ballets and opera at the cinema but what was missing was the atmosphere. Nobody aplauding at the end just getting ready to go home . You do see ballet in a different light though compared to being miles away from the stage.

Just saw a man with a premiere programme for Metropolis on Antiques Roadshow. I'd love to see it again. I last saw it at a film festival about 30 years ago.

A community cinema sounds great. Not everyone can afford the prices at Everyman. Our son regularly gives us vouchers for the cinema as opposed to gifts we do not really need. That suits us.

We have a community cinema in our town, run by volunteers. It's every Sunday night and open to the public.
A small team choose the films but we can request so thanks for this.
Tonight it's Quartet. which I have seen before but we have new films (we had I swear recently)
Next week it's Hitchcock's Rope
We have an interval and serve tea and coffee and homemade cakes for a donation. It's also a chance to speak to people.
If the film is awful, you can escape in the interval 😄

We have locally made film nights and films with local interest too but most of the Oscar winners come here eventually.

Utube have a lot of films to rent, including up-to-date stuff. They go from about 2.99 to 5.99.
Also, Apple tv..

Well the last film I saw was your recommendation Nan Kate, The King - Elvis at our local Everyman, we both loved it, I could actually sit through it again and I don't say that very often. My film before that was Hamnet and before that, A Complete Unknown, from the beginning of last year. I have to really, really want to see the film these days though. The Everyman, whilst a lovely cinema, can be expensive. Usually I book online but decided with the latest Elvis film to go in and get the tickets a few days prior at the box office, swerving the booking fee charged of £2.50

The film I'm sorry I missed now would have been Song Sung Blue. No idea what I'll see next.
