Whenever I smell burnt hair, it reminds me of the Regal Cinema in Stockport.
CheckpointCharlie
That’s quite a distinctive memory Charlie. Do any other members associate certain smells with places?
I remember as a child when I went to see wonderful films as matinees, invariably all the kids at the Saturday Film Club would sing along to the ABC films theme tune. Can I suggest that at the next screening of some Crimea Street gems, that thought is given to a CSF theme tune that picture goers could sing along to. I would suggest something in the George Formby/Radiohead crossover space. What do you think?
ArtfulMike
Well that ABC theme tune certainly brings back some memories! What a marvellous idea. The Formby/Yorke style could be ideal unless our members have other ideas? I have always enjoyed the Tom Waites/Tiny Tim combo (being a bit of a traditionalist).
It's funny how Alistair Dunmore was a big pipe smoker but you don't see that much any more, do you? I always used to think it looked quite sophisticated when I was a young man.
Dunny666
Things have changed, haven't they, Dunny666? It's true that it used to be a common sight, but these days it's all vapes.
If you were introducing someone to Crimea Street Films for the first time, which picture would you recommend? I was thinking about The Viaduct.
DateNightDan
Oh, Dan, you've set the cat amongst the pigeons now! The Viaduct is indeed an excellent choice. However, there have been a few votes for The Rooftops and The Bridge (of course) is also popular. What do other members think?
I love the photo of the two girls, Jean and June, dressed up as posties. Where can I get a copy?

It's something we're working on Joe and we hope to provide updates soon.
