I haven't been to the flicks for years, I think the last film I saw in cinema was Roman Polanski's 'The Ghost'

The endless stream of trailers and ads and noisy eaters bugs me; not forgetting people talking or screen glare from a mobile phone.

Superhero film's do nothing for me and it's just for the geek's and woke audience. Horror's are the same each time and with similar budgets.

In my opinion cinema's should re-run the 1970s, 1960s or 1940s classics. I wouldn't mind seeing the Wild Bunch on the big screen or even Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.

Oooh yes. I would love to see Gone with the wind at the cinema again.
Or Spartacus, except that my family have banned me from watching it because of all the sobbing.

I still like to go but agree you have to pick the right films. Intelligent, grown up films are the minority, but some great ones are still being made which will be "old classics" in due course!

Superhero, action or horrors do nothing for me either.

I regularly record the old classics and love watching them; may give The African Queen a go later....

I remember seeing Field of Dreams in the cinema. It's great film despite that I hate baseball. I can still the remember the women and grown men sobbing; even I got teary eyed.

Costner was great when he played the average blue collar citizen; then it when downhill very quickly.

Yes Coster was great in Fied of Dreams. And surely had enough money by then to avoid Waterwold...

What's scary about that I heard he financed the film. I remember renting because the video store had hundreds of copies. I switched off the VCR after 30 mins.

I can forgive him for The Bodyguard because it's a chick flick but The Postman was just ridiculous and it's dated already.
