A beautiful, old cinema that's at the bottom of my road - I see films there as often as I can! It's not hard to find, a sculpture of woman's stockinged legs are kicking up from the roof of the building. Much more ambience and more enjoyable then watching films at the Odeon in town.
I've seen the French film Lemming, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Capote, and Thank You For Smoking, among other films, at the Duke of York's. Many of the films they feature don't play at the major cinemas: art films, foreign films, independent films. It's a chance to see films that come from somewhere else then Hollywood. Though they do cater to mainstream audiences as well, screening blockbuster hits. They just show them about a month or so after the bigger cinemas.
During the summer, films start at around 1:30pm and continue through until around 9 or 10pm. They offer the normal theater snacks like soft drinks and popcorn, but also have a selection of cakes and a fully stocked and licensed bar! Student tickets are offered to local university students. Full-price tickets are around £5.50.
