I've opened a Multimedia centre which caters for a variety multimedia activity, one of which is a picture house where we will be screening two films a day.

I need your guys feedback on what genre's of film you would like us to screen, for example; kung fu films, Tarantino films, horror night, disney films where you could even bring the kids.

Cheers. :)

Come on everyone, I need a lot more votes than this!:help:

Would anyone actually consider coming down? We're based in Attercliffe.

I'd possibly come down and see some classics that I've never seen on the big screen. They always seem to be popular.

What era of films do you like the most?

anyone can get classics cheaply on dvd. i'd rather see more recent foreign & independent films that aren't shown in the big chains. kung fu movies would be my choice.

Depends on the quality of the print. One of the local cinemas showed Blade Runner again a few years back. I'd seen it on the original release but I was keen to see it on the big screen again.

The print was incredibly dirty, lots of dust and dirt over the titles, it was like a swarm of insects.

The print quality improved a bit as the film went on, but it was still less than sharp throughout. Sound was crackly and flat (in which case, it was probably the Odeon where I saw it)

Now of course, I could watch the excellent Blu-ray version (http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/251/bladerunner.html) on a large screen TV at home, in a decent chair, with no possibility of interruptions by annoying chavscum cretins.

Best of all, I can choose between the original 1982 domestic and International versions of the film, the 1992 'Director's Cut,' and even the 'Workprint Version.

this restoration is nothing short of a revelation. I've seen the film at least 50 times over the years (seriously), and was absolutely floored by how many visual elements I'd simply never seen before. The detail, texture and depth of the image are spectacular. The original elements have clearly been rehabbed from the ground up, with a flawless print that has had all dirt and blemishes removed

For me the cinema just doesn't compare to a decent home set-up.

We've got a good set-up, sound system etc. and I don't think we'll be appealing to many chavs, they're not our target audience anyway. Plus we'd just send them away if they were annoying anyone.

That's a plus point right there.

If there's one thing about the cinema going experience that has noticeably deteriorated over the past, oooohh 15 years, is the increased frequency of people talking or making a nuisance of themselves in some way.

OK, it went on before then, but not as frequently.

Or am I just viewing things through rose tinted specs?

I dunno lol, I was about 9 years old. :) You do get an awful lot of ignorant, immature idiots at the cinema these days, I don't understand how they don't get kicked out more often as they're ruining the film for everyone else, sometimes I feel like just dumping my coke all over their heads.:mad:
