Who can honestly say that they don’t like going to the cinema. The smell of hot popcorn, the taste of a fresh hot dog and the crunch of some spicy nachos all add up to a great time. Oh, and there might be a film coming on at some point too.
Whether you are huge film buff, you like to go out for snacks or you want a romantic setting to go to with someone special you will find that the cinema is still going strong after all these years. One of the great things about modern film screenings is that you can choose from a lot of different cinema times. This means that you can pick the showing which best suits you.
The Midnight Special
This is a great time to go and see an atmospheric thriller or to take someone to a smoochy, romantic movie. There is something extra special about pulling up at the cinema after dark and buying your tickets. When you get out it is going to be pretty late and perhaps a small night cap or another snack could be in order. If you are going to watch a horror movie then be careful not to park in the darkest corner of the car park.
While on a cruise
I remember going on a cruise holiday from Southampton and watching the latest movies at sea, real experience. You’ll find most modern cruises from Southampton will have onboard cinemas. Enjoy.
Straight From Work
Some people hate going out straight from work and others love it. If you like the sense of freedom and rebelliousness which comes from staying out all day with the same clothes on then this is a fine time to catch a film. After a hard day at work a light hearted comedy might be on the cards, or maybe a sci fi thriller which lets you forget for a while about that annoying boss who lives on Planet Earth.
Early in the Morning
If you work night shifts then this is probably going to be your best option. However, even if you need to dash straight from the film showing to work it could still be a good idea. Eating a bowl of cornflakes before going to see a war movie would certainly be a novel feeling. You will probably bump into a few students and retired people at this showing, making it a different sort of atmosphere from other film times. This could actually be a great idea for insomniacs who spend hours wandering about the house before going to work. After all, what else can you do at this time of the morning that will give you so much fun?
A Lunch Time Surprise
If you are lucky enough to have a long lunch break you could maybe fit in a quick movie. You need to work close enough to the cinema to make this happen but it could give you a terrific piece of light entertainment when you most need it. It certainly beats sitting around in the staff kitchen or rest room listening to the same tales from the same people as every other day. Just be sure that it’s not War and Peace or the 5 hour version of Cleopatra showing.
