Daz, You are right. The days of watching a movie in a place with character seem to have dissapeared.

Even today,  the best way to watch a movie at the cinemas is if u can score a small theatre room within the cinema complex. I find the smallest cinema viewing room they have gives the most enjoyment. Brings back the feel of the older cinemas. Also, (nothing worse than watching a movie at the cinema and all u can see thru the whole dam movie is the square green exit light lit up next to the big screen-that definately sux).  

P.S - Re Star Wars there are 8 Blu Ray discs in the Star Wars Box set and a really cool book comes with it. (J B Hi Fi has it as well as K.Mart and Big W etc) $99 Box Set.
