What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

Shorts On A Plane....... Is this the sequel to Snakes On A Plane?:D
I agree, plane journeys are always cold, I take a lightweight fleece with me.
Our cinema is fine, the temp seems about right, and like Ameriscot, we take our own drinks and sometimes Maltesers just to while away the time through the adverts.Being OAP has it's advantages, cheap seat tickets.
So far it seems that not many people go to the cinema today(of a certain age.) Must admit, I do like the cinema experience generally, but it's in a market town and the audience is fine, no problems.We would go more, if we gave it enought thought.

We have figured it's at least 30 minutes of adverts and trailers so we arrive about 20 minutes after showtime. I don't mind the trailers. And seats are assigned or you can pick when you buy them so doesn't matter. I just can't go to a cinema without chocolate!

Aye! LOL. Snakes on a plane!!

Theory of Everything about Stephen Hawking. Excellent.

DH and I will go spend the night in Glasgow sometimes and do film marathons if there are several we want to see. Has the tallest cinema complex in the world! :D

We saw that movie also Ameriscot, and we thought it was excellent too. Was really glad Eddie Redmayne won an oscar for best actor, he really deserved it! That would be really neat to see it at the tallest cinema complex in the world. :)
 

We saw " Furious Seven" recently...the last of the "Fast and Furious" sequels so far, and it was exciting. We also saw " The Longest Ride" with Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwoods son. My husband and I both really liked it. I had read the book, and the movie had some different parts from the book, but it was still good. It kind of reminded me of " The Notebook" that Nicholas Sparks wrote too.

He did very much deserve the oscar for his performance! I bet he was very sore and stiff from holding those positions!
 
Well the last one I remember going to see was imitation game. But after that ending, no more serious dramas if I can help it, I'll save those for netflix so I can tear up in the comfort of home. With summer coming, I go usually go with friends to the see all the blow em up action movies, so starting next weekend, I'll be seeing the Avengers and similar fare thereafter. :D

I enjoy good storytelling, but for me to pay what their asking at theaters today, I need a different sort of entertainment experience for my buck. My Roku player can provide me with all the Indie Sundance and movie shorts type movies I can handle for now if I'm in the mood. :)
 
The last cinema movie I watched was 25 years ago. Sleepless In Seattle...and I fell asleep trying to watch it. I find it difficult to sit that long, without multi-tasking.

We watch a lot of movies on Netflix or binge watch series, but we do like to go to the cinema for certain movies. Some though I prefer to wait until Netflix. We like to sit in the front row of the second section. If I know a movie will be a really serious tear jerker I prefer to cry in my own home. Although I knew I'd cry at the end of The Book Thief. Waiting for Still Alice on Netflix as I know it would make me cry.

I LOVED the Theory of Everything. We saw it in the cinema... but ended up buying the DVD and watching it several more times.


I enjoy the act of going out to the movies.. there is something special about seeing a movie in a theater.. having popcorn and a soft drink.. It's a good outing.
 
We saw "Woman in Gold" on Saturday night. I knew it would be good because Helen Mirren is in it but it was even better than I expected. It's a true story about Maria Altman, a Jewish woman who narrowly escaped the Nazis in Austria in WWII. She came from a wealthy Jewish family who lived in Vienna and her aunt was the subject of the famous Gustav Klimt painting known as "Woman in Gold." The painting, along with several other heirlooms and treasures, was stolen from her family by the Nazis. This is the story of her fight to obtain what was rightfully hers and, more importantly, some modicum of justice after her family was torn apart and many loved ones were murdered. It's an incredible story and a brilliant performance by Helen Mirren. I highly recommend it. Bring your tissues! :sorrow:
 
I'm not sure it was the last one we saw, but its the last one I remember. "Julia". I thought Glen Close was amazing as Julia Childs.
She looked like her, moved like her, and talked like her. We enjoyed that a lot. Then we went to micro wave "Popcorn and a Movie" days in our living room.

I've only bought something once at the cinema we go to - Maltesers I think - and they were about 3 times normal price. When we took daughter to a film a few months ago she wanted popcorn and coke and it was ÂŁ10! Now we she goes with us we buy our snacks elsewhere.
 
We haven't been for nearly ten years now. We wait until a film we'd like to see comes out on Sky Movies. With a home movie sound system the experience is pretty close to the cinema ... and a damn sight cheaper.

The last one we saw was this ...

Very cool Ameriscot! I'm not into zombie movies, but this was interesting and a much faster pace, I liked Pitt in it also.
