The Apollo West End in Regent Street has a nice big screen. It doesn't look like much from the outside. But inside, and downstairs, it's been refurbished and is very nice.



I saw a preview of The Departed there on a weekday morning and after all of that it was very strange to come out into the daylight of a normal day in London

It wasn't exactly empty but there weren't many of us there as it was invitation only

There was a screening of a pretty obscure but wonderful Canadian silent western starring the fantastic Nell Shipman, The Grub Stake, at pordenone this year. It clashed with something more famous but which I had already seen, and Nell had been on before, so there were just three of us in the small venue. I positioned myself a few rows in front of the others, dead centre, just four rows back from the front, ahead even of the pianist, the wonderful Phil Carli. For an hour and a half, I was able to live my lottery-win dream....my own personal silent cinema, with my personal live genius on piano.....

Quite often.

I usualy go to see "The Monday Classic" at my local cinema, they are not usually classics as such often they we shown a month earlier but on occasions they do show a real classic. A few months ago it was "The Dambusters". I sat through it totally undisturbed, I had that screen all to myself and that's not the first time.

Yet another benefi of being retired, I highly recommend it.
