You dont know how lucky you are in London,excellent film shows ,free showings and proper cinemas showing watchable films.Out here in the sticks we have a multiplex showing american dross and the arty cinema showing a ( exaggerated type example)serbo-croat czech co production about a boy growing up in post war germany and his pet cardboard box
Just about the only advantage I can see to living in London - ok, I'll admit it's closer to JA and WHL.(A Pemberton @ Jan 4 2006, 04:41 PM)

The best I can hope for is a once a month showing in a nearby "arts centre" of an old classic film - but I use the term very loosely as their idea of a classic film might not tie in too closely with what most of us would accept as a classic.

Unfortunately London is more like that these days! In comparison to when I first moved down to the Smoke from oop North in 87, there has been a significant reduction of true art-house venues, and a plethora of bland multiplexes have sprung up. Of course we are better off for cinemas than being in the Sticks, but that margin is reducing year by year.(A Pemberton @ Jan 4 2006, 04:41 PM)

That's why we cherish and support the ones we do still have.(sanndevil @ Jan 4 2006, 07:05 PM)

Even they must show the blockbusters every now and then to pay the rent, but it's the better films that they really love.

Yes - I think I noticed that one myself. Unfortunately, my mother in law had a broken hip then so evenings were otherwise taken up with visiting - Mrs Fell doesn't drive.(Steve Crook @ Jan 4 2006, 05:58 PM)

The TC does seem to be the only place withing reasonable distance that does show anything worth watching.
