I'm so bad at going to the movies. I watch movies, I mean I have netflix and there's always HBO and Showtime (which I suddenly get...), but I am so bad at getting to the theater. That's sad since I live down the road from a great little theater that always has great films and such character.
Anyway, I went and saw Quartet on Sunday afternoon. I love anything British and anything with Maggie Smith.
Anyway, the movie was wonderful. So charming and so sweet. I got a huge kick of Michael Gambon's character telling a few women singing a song from the Mikado to "shut up" - long story but it made my afternoon!

I'm right with you on going to the movies. It's expensive-and well, if you don't go, you don't see the previews-and then you don't get hooked into what "looks really good" and you'd like to see.
Maggie Smith rocks. Glad you treated yourself to this. I had one of these theaters in the town I live in in PA. Now the nearest is 1/2 drive. I think I'll just stay home.
Happy day Tamar. "shut up" during the Mikado, sounds about right.
Woof, I rarely get to watch movies or TV because I fall asleep and I don't know what happened! Makes me woofy confused!
Tamar...it makes me smile too!! It is a cutie! Adorable...I would be there all the time. thank you for sharing this piece of history.
You have a treasure of a theater there! I now want to see Quartet :) Hey, I see that Tinker Tailor Soldier is there -- that is an awesome British movie, one you would enjoy if you haven't seen it yet!
This so reminds me of the town theater where I grew up, sadly it no longer exists. But when it did, it had the curtains and balcony and tiny stage as if a real live performance was about to be presented. Awe the memories.
It does look like a sweet theater. I don't get to "the movies" often either, but love it when I stumble across fun theaters like this one.
So fun! Really love that last shot, Tamar.
Wonderful pictures, I like the last. Excellent! Greetings.
What a gorgeous theater! You really don't see classic theaters like this anymore, which is sad. The atmosphere really makes movie going an event.
I also love anything British, and Maggie Smith! Big fan of Judy Dench, as well.
What a cute theatre! It's been years since I've stepped foot in one!
This looks sooo much like my Ambler Theatre. I will ALWAYS go to this one if given the choice! I've been wanting to see Quartet and actually..it's playing at the Ambler theatre NOW!
I just love the theatre; looks like fun! That last shot is so cool! I just love your perspective! I'd love to run a vintage action on it!
Oh Tamar! I am glad you saw that movie. I think it would be a great one to see. I like melancholy movies that have an underdog succeeding or getting humbled. hahahaha
Oh I love movies...been waiting for that particular movie to come out my way....seems to be stuck in just a few theaters too far from me. We have a theater like yours a couple of burgs over from me...and I so enjoy the elegance that all theaters used to have....but alas no more.
Fun to see! Here we´re not allowed to bring cameras in when we watch movies, so I can´t take any pics unfortunately.
How cool! I love the looks of that theater and the curtain. Great post! made me happy. :)
What a great piece of history! Love it!
Oh that is really cool! I would love to go see movies there!
Going to the movies is like my favourite thing to do ever, well that and eating. That place looks amazing!
We have a similar old theater in our town still operating today. I love it.
Watching movies at the cinema these days is a treat. I haven't been to the movies in ages.
LOVE that last shot!
I love that you share all these awesomesauce experiences with us... I would love to go to the movies like that (but most of the really classy vintage cinemas don't have captioning, boo!)
Such a beautiful space!
