Found a couple of pictures of the old cinema in Weymouth, Dorset. U.K.

Here I first saw The Empire Strikes Back in the summer of 1980 while on holiday with my parents. The week before, the film was Bronco Billy with Clint Eastwood. We were second in line for Empire on the opening evening and I remember I kept going over to look at the quad poster. There was an intermission in the film as Luke starts his training with Yoda. I bought the Empire soundtrack (single disc version) and was well happy that holiday.

Cinema status: Now demolished.
