Last film I saw at a Movie theatre that I actually wanted to watch (ie not just keeping Mrs F company): Tucker - The Man And His Dream (starring Jeff Bridges), January 1989. True story of a guy who took on the big boys of USA car making, and lost. I was the only paying person in the theatre, a surreal experience especially when there were two dutiful ice cream dollies in attendance
Last film I watched all the way through on TV: Dead Man's Shoes, Shane Meadows' finest hour as much blood is shed in sleepy old Matlock. Knowing some of the locations added an unnerving realism to the film, and Toby Kebble's portrayal of Anthony deserved an Oscar

January 1989?!!! Boy you sure bested my record. That's like 30 years. I don't think my wife will tolerate my non-attendance for much longer.
Or is it you trying to say, you still do go to the movies, just to keep 'your boss' happy and 1989 was the last time you actually enjoyed it?
If that's so, boy oh boy, you either have way too exquisite taste or your wife has the knack of picking the most unimaginative shows.
We aren't great movie goers, I recall Stop Making Sense at the old Metro, (which we both fell to sleep during and got asked to leave for snoring), Scandal, Braveheart, Rob Roy, Mama Mia, one I can't remember the name of and Twelve Years A Slave. Mrs F tends to like romcoms, I favour deep/violent stuff, strange for such a peacelover.
I watch LOADS of stuff at home though, mainly stuff that just comes on the TV, and I give it a pop, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Two of my faves like that are BURIED starring Ryan Reynolds (and from what I recall ONLY Ryan Reynolds) and MAN ON FIRE starring Denzel Washington
Now this is a bit strange, I was just reading an Agatha Christie book, set in the 1920s, where the British guy corrects the American, who says cinema when going to catch a movie. In the UK, it's called theatre!
Obviously in this age, I would associate theatre with plays and the like and more American. Cinema would the UK version.
But was really the other way round back in the day?
