Despite this, the Cottage Road is still my favourite cinema in Leeds, even if going there does make you feel older than you actually are. To my knowledge the setup is the same as it was twenty years ago - one screen that's a bit crackly, a vague arc of slightly stained red-velvet chairs, and occasionally an interval in which ice-cream is offered to customers. Essentially, the Cottage Road maintains a balance between a traditional stage theatre and a cinema, and, to anyone sick of the multi-screen complexes where popcorn and a ticket costs you more than a tenner, the Cottage Road will be a breath of fresh (not literally, 'cause it has that great musty old smell about it) air.

The New Picture House cinema is exactly what Dewsbury needs. The cinema is organised by volunteers…read moreas part of a community project and has injected some much needed culture and fun into the town. The venue is opposite the bus station, an old office building. The venue works really well with a grungy run down feel, it feels as though you are going to some secret place. Upstairs the bar is small but well equipped with beers/wine, pop corn, buns and a tasty dal that I tried. The prices are cheap and affordable. The cinema is smaller than your average but has a friendly feel with blankets, really good sound and visibility. Movie choice is good with new films on Fridays and more arty choices on Sunday's. At the end of the showing the old office has a great atmosphere with drinks, candles and a view over the town. Overall I love this place and concept!

Pocklington Arts Centre, also known as the oak house, has gained a reputation for its live-events…read moreand film programmes, in only a short period of time. the venue, which has a 200-seat auditorium and 70-seat studio space, has provided film screenings, live music, theatre performances, comedy clubs, art exhibitions and conference facilities, since opening in 2000. before it re-opened it had been closed for a few years, it was originally a cinema with 2 screens and then it became an arcade and closed down. till the council took it over and it became the oak house Previous performers include: Barbara Dickson, Steve Harley, Midge Ure, Dave Gorman, The Reduced Shakespeare Company, Curtis Stigers, Jenny Éclair, Barry Norman, John Hegley, Al Stewart to name but a few. when this place 1st opened it was a relief as the nearest cinema was around half an hours drive in any direction, but it has wierd opening times and don't open on a wednesday, so can't use orange wednesday tickets here! and most films shown, are later then the national release dates. but it has hosted some really nice indoor farmers markets? and school fares and productions. when midge ure played the tickets were literally sold out before the event was released! as the saying goes in pock, is its not what you know, but who you know! the cinema itself is basic, and seating is of the itchy kind but pleasant enough for the price you pay. but doesn't have the big screen appeal! it doesn't seem to hold that many day time events now, possibly because of the stupid 1 hour parking restrictions, in the town center!

I've only been to the cinema twice in the past 5 years, both times within the space of a week, and…read moreboth times to watch Pierce Brosnan in a completely bizarre role - once in Mamma Mia, the other in the Thomas the tank engine movie! So, I'm not really up on cinemas these days, but as it goes I really enjoyed both these nights out. I was absolutely horrified to discover that my husband had spent £8 - EIGHT QUID! - on pick'n'mix, and I was too scared to even look at the prices of the other snacks for sale. But I'm sure that's the same everywhere. Cinemas have come a long way in comfort in the past few years too, if Donny Vue is anything to go by - the seats were very comfortable. But am I getting old? Or is it really too loud in there? I like the location of this cinema, in a nice quiet corner of a large development with masses of free parking. I'll definitely be back again soon, but hopefully to see something without Pierce Brosnan (no offence though!).

I love film, of all different kinds, but mostly I am into a really good foreign film. As you can imagine that makes Leeds International Film Festival a bit of a no brainer for people like me. It hosts a huge variety of film, from animation, shorts, horrors, thrillers - you name it. It has something for every kind of audience, of all ages, of all ethnicities, of all tastes. For this yearly delight a vast number of Leeds venues pull together and get involved, hosting film nights over the course of the festival, and offering a great cultural night out. Really, it is difficult to express how awesome a cultural spectacle it is. Each year it seems to grow in popularity, with a wider range of film and a larger audience. I can only advise that you book mark next years in your diary, lest you miss out. Leeds International Film Festival - making the city the cultural capital that it has become!

It is the pick 'n' mix of cinema, and with such a diverse range of films to choose from, you will want to see more than a few. This is the 23rd Leeds International Film Festival and has once again impressed attendee's and participants with the fantastic selection of films on offer. The vast variations of styles, genres, concepts, and techniques lures in all sorts of different people to it's screens. From animation and short films, hyper reality and documentaries, to dry comedy and gory horror. Created by some of the most talented directors and producers, and some never heard of, this is a definite film lovers delight.

This year the venues include Hyde Park Picture House, The Carriageworks, The Town Hall, Vue Cinema, The Wardrobe, The Hi Fi Club, Howard Assembly Room, University of Leeds, Saviles Hall, Nation of Shopkeepers and Seven. Which is a lot! They come from a range of directors and producers, some of the most talented in the world to some you may never have heard of. They are split up into the following sections: Official selection, Cinema Versa, Short Film City, Cherry Kino, Fanomenon, and Thought Bubble. You can find out about what each section contains on the website above. If you have missed this years, make a note for next as it is a true winter treat!

If you are a butter lover like me, while the concessions do serve popcorn, there is no extra butter. Major disappointment. I don't care if it's healthier for me, it still stinks.

The thing is, a trip to the cinema isn't just about the film it's the whole package the parking, the ticket and admission system, the refreshments, the information. So, the two things that spoil the Cineworld experience for me? Firstly, a number of staff who obviously didn't want to be there (and/or were extremely shy about talking to members of the public evidenced by their slow and half hearted response to customers waiting) and secondly, the absolutely stupid, urine extracting prices they charge for their frankly average refreshments.

Cineworld ain't what it used to be. For one thing it stopped doing the really excellent coffee it…read moreused to have, and that has pretty much wrecked visits for me. Seeing a film at the flicks isn't the same without a cuppa hot java in hand - not once you've got used to it anyway. Plus they used to have much cheaper sweets and snacks, then I think it all got standardised and franchised/outsourced, the prices doubled, the quality fell and the portions halved. Boo! I think the last film I saw here was Serenity, Joss Whedon's excellent space-cowboy romp. It was utterly ruined by a ladyChav and her horde of miniChavs trooping in halfway though (talking loudly), proceeding to carry on talking (and even shouting) through the rest of the film, while swapping food (and discussing their swaps, at high volume). She took offence to this being mentioned afterwards and rained down verbal abuse upon us. Lovely, lovely people.
