I went there a few times as a kid, closed in 1999. It's bugging me that i can't make out any of the films on show. Well, i can one, Titanic. But i can't make out the other 2 posters. Im assuming the pic was taken sometime in 1997. Im not sure how long Titanic was in cinema's here. I expect it showed throughout the summer of 97 at least. Anyway -

Harry Potter the bottom one

That was released in November though and it looks like this was December (I suppose it could still be in though :think: )

I was thinking A Bug's Life. But it doesn't really look like the poster, and it wasn't released in cinemas here until Feb of 99, so i can rule that out.

Is it just me or does the 3rd look like a monkey?

Here's another picture (just to drive myself and others mad), think this was late 80's, before my time.

The first picture looks like it's Twins?

Stumped on the 3rd image I can't find any poster from that time period that resembles it

To me it looks like a woman in the center with a mans face behind her

It's driving me mad. Such a trivial thing, but i really wanna crack it :laugh:

Im trying to read the text, but i can't really make any of that out. Screen 1 would naturally be Titanic, im assuming anyway, and im 99% certain it doesn't say Titanic in the text showings. Maybe the posters are of upcoming films? So could be early 97, late 96?

Also, Niamh, you said it's around Christmas time? Could it be Christmas 96 and they're just promoting Titanic?

Omg maaaaan, i see what you mean Jordan, but all i see is a bloody monkey in that pic.

I mean it's not the Men in Black poster, but might be promoting it with a rarer/earlier poster?

Swan

Could it be a picture of the Pug from Men in Black?

There are other pics, from various times when it was still going, but posting at asking the films would just be taking the piss now :smug: :joker:

I looked at the 3rd picture, but it's near impossible to guess the films.
