The Cinemas of Cork

The Ritz looked familiar but I couldn’t place it — PROC says it was where Edison (Long Island) is now, which brought it right back. 🙂

I think I was in the Lee once. Plenty of visits to the Capitol, even back when smoking was allowed!
Ah, you’re right about the Ritz!
I was in the Lee Cinema once. Saw one of the Superman movies there.
I remember seeing the original Back to the Future in the Palace Theatre Cinema, which is now of course the Everyman!
I think the only other cinemas I was in were Midleton and Youghal, as we used to go to east Cork for the summer.
The Ritz became the Classic.
there was also the Cameo Cinema which was up around Montenotte somewhere. Saw a few there. I remember The Hornet’s Nest and Escape from Witch Mountain.
