To my mum and dad whose perfect date night, once upon a time, was watching a double bill together at the National Film Theatre on London’s South Bank. He loved esoteric foreign language dramas and she adored glamorous Hollywood musicals – so I’m not really sure how they ever got together, but I’m very glad they did.

To my husband Robin who took me on a first date to see Dead Calm which gave me a great excuse to cuddle up with him because it was really bloody scary. Good call, Rob.

To Catriona who is my best mate thanks, mostly, to our shared love of James Dean and Thelma and Louise.

To the Coronet cinema in Notting Hill Gate where my love of the movies began …

And to the Everyman Screen on the Green in Islington, where I had my latest movie-going experience almost a year ago now. I hope I get back there soon, to watch lots more movies with the people I love.
