THE GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER for the first time ever is asking readers to vote for their favourite cinema in the Guardian Film Awards.
The Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin has appealed for people to nominate them – and with those colourful collection of seats, why wouldn’t you?
(The Lighthouse Cinema Facebook page)
But we wanted to ask you what your favourite cinema is – both past or present.
Ireland has long had a love affair with the “picture house” and there are some gems in Dublin like the Irish Film Institute and the open-air cinema in Meeting House Square.
This week one of Dublin’s most beloved cinemas has said a sad farewell to its iconic sign too, but we’ d like to hear about cinemas from all over the country.
And there have also been historic ones in the past too, like that of the Ambassador Cinema at the top of O’Connell Street.
As a former usher and shop girl at Bray Cineplex, I could be bias, but we’d love to hear about what makes a great cinema and which ones have made a lasting impression on you.

Most of all we’d love you to send in some of your pictures of some of the quirky cinemas dotted around Ireland.
Tell us your thoughts and cinema memories in the comments section below and send your pics to tips@thejournal.ie.

And this is news how?
@Trump24: Person in public eye does something unusual or notable, has brush with law ….
@Trump24: you could literally say that for anything,
@Trump24: Needy troll
@Trump24: it’s published on a news site to generate interest. Comments and the like. You justified it’s presence with your comment.
@Brendan O’Brien: Incorrect not newsworthy in the slightest just tabloid garbage
@Trump24: You get to decide what’s newsworthy now?
@Trump24: You got your attention for today, Troll.
@Brendan O’Brien: Yes more so than you BOB
@Jack Hayes: Nice to meet you troll
@Trump24: More than an actual news site?
@Trump24: e bike
@Trump24: Fake news, yeah?
In all fairness it does seem pretty silly and shortsighted of Lime to issue a miserable fine, after receiving hundreds of thousands of Euros worth of free product placement and advertising, that they couldn’t have hoped to achieve otherwise…
@Dvsespaña: and to more than triple their usual fine.
This behaviour from them means that, if I ever decided I wanted to rent an e bike.. it certainly wouldn’t be from them.
@Dvsespaña: but it looks much more interesting for Timothee than just appearing on an e-bike.
@Dvsespaña: quite the opposite. You are now reading an article advertising the Lime service that you not be reading only for that fine. Genius of them really.
@Dvsespaña: but they got even more publicity,by issuing a larger fine than is normally given so either way it’s a win win for them.
