Lovely video - I wish some of my old Stockport cinemas were still standing. The Royalty at Bowness is a favourite of mine for the last 2 decades. Thanks for sharing this.
I feel similarly. I'm from America and the theaters are closing all over the place post covid. 😢 I used to be a projection-ist in the 1990s. A film projection-ist not a DVD player. Hahaha It was my favorite job I ever had in my life. Watching a downloaded movie is not the same as going out, getting popcorn and soda and sitting in a theater with other strangers, and having a public EXPERIENCE! Imagine not seeing Avenger's Endgame with other people!! Captain America picking up the hammer would still have been cool but I argue that it was much better with the crowd in the theater applauding and hooting ! See what I mean? Unfortunately, if things continue like they are, movie theaters will be like drive-ins used to be. (Just a thing of the past) 😢
The music perfectly captured the sense of going back to a nostalgic moment or place. Though very different from my experiences, I felt like we were with you going to the theater one last time. Bravo Gareth! You’re a documentarian sir!👏
Scrawling through itv's teletext, to see what was in my neck of the woods. Lyric in C'then had closed, so parents would take me to Llanelli. Remember seeing Youngblood starring Rob Lowe then. My hometown of NCE, then decided to show films in the old Attic Theatre. Saw Lethal Weapon 3 there, along with Crocodile Dundee 2. Good times as a young tearaway teen.
Seems so long ago now, Gareth. Looks like a very quaint village with great scenery. Was acoustics good in the hall? I remember going to a local cinema with my father in Ealing. The cinema looked like something from The Haunting. Victoriana architecture, but the inside was stunning to look at. Though you could smell the aroma dampness within the building, that was way back in the late 1970s. People even smoked in the cinema. So you got a good inhailing session with tobacco.
It was quite common then, for small villages to have their own cinemas ; pretty rare in this day and age.😢 Odd that didn't show 18 certificate films, but let youngsters into 15s. They missed out on all of that Fatal Attraction money.
nice stroll down memory lane...you always remember the theaters you saw movies at as a kid...now its all soul less multi plexes that all look the same....
Quite a story. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your hometown.
@@MH52-606 thanks for watching, a lot of memories came back when I visited on the weekend

My first Star Wars on the big screen was return of the Jedi also and that’s the poster I always think of when I see Jedi.
The original and best poster

So many films came out back then I guess they didn't need the 18 films
