Hello fellow film buffs
I sort of wandered in here by mistake, but as I'm a film fan from way back I think I'll stick around. When I say way back, I don't mean that far, but I can remember when the old Empire flicks in my town was still standing, and every other seat had been ripped out by the "Teds", and they had gas lights ! Ah happy days ![]() Anyway, I think I'll have a little look round the place tata Sid |

Welcome Sid -
I have to say that the 'multi-generational' aspect of this site has always been brilliant for informed discussions. Look forward to your thoughts and notes from when our fave films were on in the cinemas rather than TV. Cheers, Smudge |

Gas lights! Well, Sid, that makes me feel quite the young whippersnapper.
As far as I can recall, the first feature film I saw in a cinema (Kinema?)was On the Beat at the Trocadero, Elephant and Castle 1962. Sadly they must have knocked the theatre down soon after that, because the scout group I joined later used to meet for outings 'where the Trocadero used to be'. At a younger age, I badgered people in the queue at the cartoon theatre at Waterloo Station to let me in with them, as for some reason kids had to be accompanied. I have a much stronger memory of Zulu , which I think I saw up West, than I do of On the Beat - so I was clearly a discerning proto-movie buff even then :).
