Little_Alex Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I remember the crazy queues when waiting to see Jaws, not for a few days but for weeks on end. Also I remember seeing Earthquake with the special sound system, which made everything in the cinema rumble. Ah proper cinema as I prefer it, not like these micro cinemas. I remember that well. Surround sound what an innovation!!!! Loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howtink Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Anyone with memories of the BEST cinema ever in Sheffield (even now) Can't remember when it opened but I was there at the first ever film to be shown there. I was only a kid but my mum got a couple of tickets for the UK premiere of a romantic comedy called "Don't Bother To Knock". Widescreen films shown there were superb because of the size of the cinema you could get some distance between you and the screen, unlike the smaller venues of today. Progess ????? i remember going on sat morning to the abc minors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozlad Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Wn abiding memory of that place is the smell of roasting coffee from the concourse.The beginning of a love affair undimmed after 40 odd years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Womersle Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Are you sure you didn't mean The Gaumont or The Odeon? The ABC did not have a balcony, just a rake (slope) floor from its projection box to its screen - no real height involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
