I used to
love going to the cinema when I was a boy. It was called the Forum and it used to
be on the corner of a busy shopping street but it moved down a side street beside a fish
and chip shop. All the boys in the local school used to
havetheir birthday parties there. Before getting the tickets we would
go to the local sweet shop and get lots of sweets and crisps and then run into the cinema
for the matine show.
The matine used to
be typical kids' films like cartoons, adventure films, war films. I used to
enjoy the war films most of all. We would
shout at the screen during the film and at the end of the film we would
applaud. The films would
stay in our heads after we left the cinema. I remember that for days after
watching Rocky the boys in the street would
pretendthey were boxers, punching the air as they went to school.
