Hi Dan, I am the guy that books the movies for the Kineto Theatre. I just happened across your blog and wanted to let you know that The Old Kineto is doing just fine. We are still open and entertaining the young and old alike. re: Ghost Dad: I remember being told not to book in that movie but I did anyway and was one of our most attended films that year.

Ha! I just read this on Wikipedia —
“Ghost Dad was critically panned, and wound up on many critics’ “Worst of 1990″ and “Worst of all time” lists. Despite its critical failure, it was a financial success, mostly due to its low budget.”

Loved reading this, Dan! Remember you tagged along with me and my date, Marty, and we went to see Ghost Dad starring Bill Cosby? I think it was the summer of 1990. I also remember seeing many other flicks there too with you. Good times…

Yeah, Nottingham Savoy is a nice place. I’m sad to say I’ve only ever been there once, to see A Scanner Darkly. From what I remember the seats were so comfortable I nearly fell asleep.

Nottingham – Savoy Cinema is the best cinema without a doubt! 4 Screens, no more than 8 [possible 10] films on per week and all for £4.50, or £3.50 if you’re a student!
It looks pretty much like the one in the comments from Bath, and has it’s own small bar upstairs which serves alcohol which can be taken into the viewing rooms at half the price of a club/bar.

Small cinemas also take me back to when i watched my first movie, and sat next to Emma Warris, Johnny Craven and my older brother plus some randoms i didnt know. It was Beverly Hill Cops if i recall correctly. Awesome.

That looks amazing. Seats look comfortable and it looks like it would have a really close knit atmosphere. Awesome.

Yep, Forest. Lovely place. 10 minutes from the beach.

There’s the Little Theatre Cinema in Bath! It’s tucked away in the city centre, really cute and shows a bunch of indie films as well as some mainstream. Totally cute.

P.S. Forest, eh… I know people from there!

Ive ALWAYS wanted to start a small independent cinema..

Picture this…

One screen like the one in your blog post, movies like terminator 1,2 & 3 in one night

The back to the future trilogy

Etc!

Have the tickets cheapish, have themed nights or weeks, horror week, action week..

I’d be in there every week!
