IMAGINE THE COMFORT!! RECLINING LEATHER SEATS!!! SO AMAZING!!!!…read more So no longer Rainbow, Imagine Cinemas has taken over and improved this theatre ten fold. There are super comfy chairs and improved sound and screen. For this newbie to reclining seats at the movies, I was SO PLEASED. I went to see Guardians Vol 2 for $7 on Tuesday. So worth it. I have no idea if concession food is good or if the washrooms are updated, but two thumbs up for the very noticeable improvements!

Popcorns everywhere!…read more Landmark Cinemas in south London provided a good movie experience. It featured 8 theatre rooms within a colourful retro interior. There is a concession immediately past the entrance and large popcorn refill for their members and they were willing to provide smaller bags. The actual movie audio/visual experience was great. The big screen is huge compared to smaller independent theatre chains (Imagine), and has no reflective glare for better picture quality. The reclined lounge seats are comfortable and make for decent view even near the front. Interestingly, we noticed there were premiere seats with recliners paired side-by-side within a partition for couples viewing. Their Movie Club membership included a movie admission each month, concession discount and waived online booking fee. Only blemish was the popcorn spread over the concession floor that no one seemed to be assigned to sweep away. A seating area is available to wait before showtime as staff cleaned up the theatre room. Skip it or hit it? It's worth coming for a comfortable movie showing especially if you overlook the popcorn strewn over the floor.

Must...see...all...the...movies. I gotta say, I'm convinced. Landmark 8 is the best movie…read moreexperience London has to offer right now. I'll make it simple, for the same ticket price you get lower cost concessions, reserved seating, full recliners, and great service. Yep. That's all folks! But really, this movie theatre has sat there and sat there for the longest time. It couldn't compete with the big guy Cineplex, and it wasn't kitschy like the downtown Rainbow (come on, you cant resist that sexy bear painting). I'm so happy that Landmark took this spot and turned it into something London didn't have. A full theatre based around amazing and comfortable reserved seating. That's a bingo! We went to see the Revenant and to my surprise, we went to order tickets for a Wednesday night and the theatre was almost sold out completely! We opted for the Thursday night instead. We purchased our tickets online, and printed them off. The guy at the booth scanned them (apparently he has been there for ages, everyone knows him!) and we were on our way. The concession stand had tons of candy options! Not only that, but they had normal sized candy you could buy for $2.50. They had bigger options but sometimes you just want a regular box of Smarties and be done with it. Amirite? The guy serving us asked us what were seeing and we chatted about how we didn't like Hateful Eight (sorry QT, I'm sorry). This was nice! I like the personable experience. The ONLY thing I have to say about this entire experience, is do not sit where we sat. I dont know if this is applicable to all auditoriums but in #2, we sat in G 9&10. This was right next to the doors. There is one set of doors to the outside, and then another set of doors to the theatre. They shut the doors to the outside but not the ones to the hallway, where there is a light. Luckily I had a hoodie on so I could hide the light that was coming in from the left side of my peripheral vision. Now this is a huge nit pick but if you are easily distracted like I am, this may not be a great experience. Nonetheless, the seats are just as amazing as all the reviews say. Comfy and recline-y. They go way back and you can put your feet up no problem with tons of room to spare for people to walk by. All and all, I would give this theatre a shot if you haven't. It isn't what it used to be! So to you Landmark 8, "I'll be back."

An independent cinema is always fantastic, the Hyland is a treasure. A single screen - which can…read moreshow everything from blockbusters, vintage silent movies, to special runs and re-releases, foreign and non-english films, and special events. This place is well-run and clean. The staff is always friendly and informed about coming shows and events. I especially like that for special events, there can be a curated pre-show of interviews and related ads (i.e. - vintage tie-in toy ads for the Star Wars shows). Some of the standout special events we've attended over the years have been: the world premier of Women Talking with a talk by the director, a silent film festival with an expert speaker and a live pianist to play the accompanying music, series marathons (Lord of The Rings and StarWars), a Mama Mia sing-along (I can't remember if that was a planned event or just happened organically), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show with costumes encouraged (like any good RHPS showing there was excellent audience participation). The popcorn is always hot and fresh. Fair notice, it's an old theatre with old theatre seats (my husband always brings a cushion). The parking lot can be a bit chaotic but I find that part of the charm. There's plenty of street parking in the neighborhood.

Yet again, here I am shaking my head at myself, for it's taken me 7 years to finally make a visit…read moreto Hyland Cinema. And I live 2 minutes away! I'll admit, indie, art, and foreign films aren't my thing, but Hyland does release some more well known films, just a bit later than the big guys. And you know what? That's okay! I'll gladly take Hyland's old school vibe over the other guy's incessant advertising and jacked up prices. This theatre brings me back to the good old days of movie going. Plush fabric seats, no cup holders, and no stairs, just the good old slanty floor. Same goes for the concession stand. Very simple, and quite affordable, with lots of unique options like artisan popcorn. I went to Hyland to see the Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 double feature. What a treat! Thankfully we purchased our tickets online through their paypal system because it was buuuusy! Almost completely full! They have a retro night called "Retromania" which this event was a part of. There was a lot of parking in the back but it was full when we arrived. Thankfully there is a lot of parking on the streets nearby. It was a bit unfortunate that they started a half an hour late but with a line up out the door, GO HYLAND GO! We didn't get out of there until 2:30 or so. Thankfully they kept the concession stand open between the films and they sell coffee and tea. I had a blast at Hyland and I definitely want to catch more films there! PS: FUN FACT, my dad used to go on dates at Hyland Cinema in the 70s! This place has a lot of history. I suggest checking out their website and reading about it!

Cineplex finally stepped their game up! The VIP experience…read moreis unreal .. There is a high end bar in the lobby and a menu of restaurant level food! Not only in the lobby but they have waitresses coming up and taking orders all the way up until the movies starts. I ordered chicken tenders with fries and I was BLOWN away. These were the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten. It had a nice buffalo sauce on them to give a little kick! And they were so moist and soft! The fries were also nice and crispy. I was shocked at how tasty these were at the movie theatre. Highly recommend !! The price for food and alcoholic beverages were reasonable. Then the movie starts and you are in a comfortable recliners and what it has over other is HEATED SEATS! This is so unreal and relaxing. All these components while enjoying a good flick. Also the theatre has tons of space as they do not over back them which is also great! Cons: - tickets are quite expensive ($21.00 per ticket approximately) - only 3 VIP screens not always showing what you want to see

Western University has its own movie theater! The first time I visited, I wasn't sure what to…read moreexpect. But I was pleasantly surprised by a nice, clean theater with a large screen and comfortable seats, and concession prices that are cheaper than a typical movie theater. Second-run movie theaters I've been to usually have sticky floors and are filled with screaming children and/or high school kids doing inappropriate things. Western Film is much nicer! Western Film usually screens two second-run movies per week, one at 7 PM and another at 9:30, along with occasional midnight screenings of cult favorites. Tickets are $5 on most nights, and you don't need to be affiliated with Western to go or to buy tickets. On Tuesdays, tickets are only $3.50. I've been twice, and it wasn't very busy either time, including during the week that tickets were free. There are a variety of parking lots of campus, some of which are free for the 7 PM show, one of which is free for the late show, and a couple of which are always free on Fridays and weekends. Check out the Western Film website for more info about parking; I believe the parking regulations change with some frequency. If you don't mind waiting a few weeks to catch a new movie, Western film is surely the cheapest way in town to see movies on the big screen.

Eldon House is a walk from our hotel and downtown London area. It's a home where the Harris family…read morelived from 1834 and the home was donated in the mid 1900's and since been restored for viewing. The house different rooms and signs to explain the contents. The lower floor has many of the hunting trophies from the various animals killed in Africa by one of the grandsons. It also shows the servant's kitchen, sitting room with many artifacts from the travels around the world. Upstairs are various bedrooms and bathroom. A guide greeted us when we went into the house and there were only two other visitors. It's pay by donation at the front of the house. We spent less than an hour in the house but enjoyed reading and seeing the history of this prominent family.

The Eldon House is a great historical house museum. Admission is by donation ($5 suggested, but…read morepay what you will.) The house was donated to the city with most of the original belongings still in it, which is pretty rare for house museums. The tour is self guided, and you can wander about all of the rooms at your leisure. A guide greets you at the door, and gives you some background information. There are some interpretive panels as you go, but not an overwhelming amount of reading. It's very cool to see a fully furnished historical home set up as it would have been in the early 1900s. I especially liked seeing the kitchen, as well the children's play room (complete with creepy dolls!) Keep an eye out for the weird hunting trophies in the house -- and look for the elephant foot umbrella stand! (This is not a euphemism. It is a literal elephant foot that was turned into an umbrella stand.) During the summer they offer afternoon tea on the patio, and they run a variety of special events, lectures, tours, and classes throughout the year. The Eldon house is definitely worth a quick visit, if you're visiting or a local. I believe they also rent out the venue for private functions. They don't have their own parking lot; you'll need to find metered parking on Ridout street or park in a nearby pay lot. I hope to come back for a special event sometime soon!
