60s Cinema

We asked "Did you go to the cinema in the 60s? If so, which films did you see? What did you think of them?"

The cinema was a little on the wane in the sixties. Television was very much making its presence felt and cinemas were starting to close.  But the cinema was still a popular pastime with many who completed our survey.

How often did people go?

• "Once a week"
• "Twice a week"
• "Yes many times"
• "Sometimes"
• "Good value for money, especially Saturday morning flicks for only a tanner"

What did people watch?

These are some of your favourite movies from the sixties:

• James Bond ("Dr No", "Goldfinger", "From Russia with Love", "Thunderball")
• "Easy Rider"
• "The Sound of Music"
• "The Italian Job"
• Spaghetti Westerns ("The Good the Bad and the Ugly", "For a Few Dollars More", "A Fistful of Dollars"
• "Carry On" films
• "Did not like Elvis, but you had to go if you wanted to be sweet with a girl"
