I stopped collecting at around "prog 1050"...have every issue from around "100". It was getting a bit stale when I stopped...but I got to see "Judgement Day" which promised (and delivered) that "this summer, three billion people will die". Can't ask more than that!  AH |

Last film I saw at the pictures was Silence of the Lambs. We came out and got a lamb madras meal. Lamb for Sunday lunch the following day, and lamb chops on the Monday. True. A proper lamb weekend.

The last film my mother saw at the pictures was "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964 when she took me. She didn't die until 2003, but she was never very keen on the pictures and always fell asleep. Last film I saw was months ago. Can't remember the name of it but it had lots of special effects (not "Avatar"). |

We (me and my brother) once took our mother to a Herzog triple bill: "Aguirre, Wrath of God," "Woyzeck," and "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser." She loved it, I think.

Jack and I used to go to the cinema once a fortnight after work. His bad back means he now gets too uncomfortable sitting in one position for two and a half hours (and the rest). Why are modern films so long...and why so many adverts?

....not to mention the lack of Ice Cream at half time.

....not to mention the lack of Ice Cream at half time. And what happened to the usherettes who shone a torch and showed you to your seat if you came in after the lights went down? And what happened to smoking in cinemas and stubbing your cigarette out in the dark in the tiny ash tray in front of you, just a few inches behind the girl sitting in front of you with the beehive hairdo that had been well laquered? And how many times did you light your cigarette at the tip end? Ahh, the good old days - when cinemas smelt of stale smoke instead of popcorn. |

The last film I saw with Jack was Brokeback Mountain and it was at least half an hour too long. Indeed, most films would improve if they were trimmed to under two hours.
In the good old days we used to get two pictures, didn't we? I can remember seeing "Gregory's Girl" as the warm-up to something else - with (of course) ice-cream in the interval.

The Electric Cinema in Portobello Road used to have some great double bills - unrelated films that still had something in common - like Bad Timing and The Third Man.

Some time in the 60s my mother and a crony of hers went to see The Alamo one afternoon. It's a very long film, perhaps one of the first very long films. After I'd asked her how she enjoyed it, and mentioning the final scene, it became obvious that they'd come out at the interval under the impression that it was finished. ~ ~ ~ Double seats in the back row. That's my fondest memory of the cinema. |

There was a small cinema called the Prince Charles Theatre or something (think it was near Leicester Square, not sure) that did funny double bills of silly old chinese films once, that was fun. I saw Nostradamus and Zu Warriors there some years back |

Going to the pictures was a proper night out years ago. As Housey said, two films, plus also either the Pathe News or Look at Life (depending, I think, on which cinema you were at).
Mr. E. and I were once in the ABC cinema in Romford when some yobbo let off a rocket in the stalls (it was close to 5th November) and it went right up to the ceiling. We thought it was hilarious. Nobody panicked or even moved out of their seats. I can hardly believe it happened when I think about it now.
