Showdown: The Last Picture Show

Visit here for the current topic and join in the fun.

As Nicole Kidman famously said, “We come to this place for magic.” Whether you’re rocking a pair of prescription scuba goggles like William in Notting Hill, yelling at rowdy teens like Leda in The Lost Daughter or chomping on a cigar like Max in Cape Fear (please don’t), we can all agree: somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this. For this week’s Showdown, come up with a list of ten films featuring your favourite scenes set in movie theatres. Meta by nature, a good cinema sequence reflects our own experience in a “stars: they’re just like us!” type of way. After all, who hasn’t caught a flick with their crush and their imaginary bunny-man friend?
