Wow. I've seen them around the place but didn't know that.

They've got 27 according to the website.

They should try to tap into the cat café market and offer screenings with the cats in the auditorium. Not so good for allergy sufferers at the next screening, I suppose.

The Rio (my nearest) used to have a cat wandering around and sitting on patrons' laps.

Haven't been there for years, I tend to go into town. Soho Screening Rooms a few weeks ago. Plush.

My current local cinema is a boringly typical suburban American multiplex.
Growing up, however, it was this place:

Although the local Windscale Club used to put films on occasionally, my nearest proper cinema when I was growing up was the Gaiety in Whitehaven - now closed but there's a great series of post-closure photos on 28 Days Later here

Nowadays I haven't been to the cinema in about 4 years, but technically my closest is the Plaza Community cinema in Crosby, which memorably opened on 2 September 1939 and was immediately closed again that same day due to regulations introduced by the outbreak of war. It looks nice from the outside, I have to say.

Have you ever been to Zeffirellis in Ambleside, TrL? I couldn't claim it as a local but I used to enjoy going there.

Actually THIS is my local cinema:



Since I sit directly underneath it most of the week, and organise a cineclub that uses it on a wednesday night. Staff and students suggest films, briefly intro them and then we discuss for 10-15 mins after then go to the pub, which gives us free fried snacks.

This term's programme looks like this below, if you're interested in what a user-generated group, er, generates. I've dropped my offer of Blue Velvet as it was all getting rather dark, and a female student suggested Young Frankenstein, also improving the gender balance.

That is pretty much exactly what I was going to post! Very fond memories. I went there quite a lot when I lived in Dalston in the late '80s. Less since then, mainly due to parenthood, although it was my local cinema for most of the time since, right up to 2 years ago.

My local cinema now, in Cambridge, is some crappy chain multiplex .

The Brewery Arts Centre cinema is a big reason why we now like living in Kendal so much.
