The Sound of The Picture House

It's Christmas and I'm joined by old Saint Nick Roe to talk about Christmas movies. It goes reasonably well. Is Die Hard the best Christmas film and what do you get a Wookie for Christmas, when he already owns a comb?

A somewhat dithering gallop through the year that was 2018, listing my faves and the top box office in Uckfield.

We reach the end of the decade. 1979 a watershed year for The Picture House Uckfield, as we go from one to two screens. Whoo and also hoo!

A bumper year in the end, mainly due to John Travolta and ABBA, all before we shut down for the big two screen conversion.

I'm joined by film and tv maker Phil Lott and we talk total nonsense about The Spy Who Loved Me, Taxi Driver and A Bridge Too Far. It's 1977 folks and why was it so tough?

Earthquake, Jaws, Tommy, it's all here as we trawl through the mess that was 1976 at The Picture House Uckfield. I became a more thoughtful cinemagoer and Britain sweltered.

Lots of John Williams and some Stanley Kubrick also Dogder is back as 007. Midway through the decade of decline. Such fun!

The admissions slide continues, but at least Blazing Saddles was released.

Admissions continue to plummet and we stand on the brink of the smut tsunami coming our way. Matron.

The Godfather, and all sorts this week as we trawl through the good stuff and the bad stuff at the movies in 1972
