  • Vue down at Clifton Moor is your best bet. Odeon on Blossom St. is an absolute dive, and The City Screen is usually quite reasonable with pricing, as long as you don't mind parting with at least one of your internal organs.
  • City Screen York is one of the best cinemas I know - great films, nice cafe and even a comedy club inthe basement
  • City Screen is ok.I go there.its cheap.But vue is the best but its VERY expensive food
  • City Screen. expensive but very good. you may fall asleep in the comfy chairs
  • city screen Vue
  • If you're in the City Centre don't go to the Odeon in Blossom Street. It's tacky and sticky and chock-a-block with Chavvy Kevs and Kappa Slappers, and further away than you think. City Screen off Coney Street is your best bet. More expensive, but better value, it has biggger screens, better refreshments, a Net cafe and seats comfier than your Granny's lap. Outside is also good for skating, apparantly.
  • the city screen is gorgeous
  • I travel about 15 miles to the warner village cinema at clifton moor (its fantastic).
  • City Screen is ace. Loads of other stuff going on like comedy club, art gallery and stuff. Odeon is about to be knocked down.
  • WARNER BROS IS THE BEST AND CITY SCREEN IS WANK
  • cuty screen is cool, odeon is cheap n cheerful but warner brothers is so expensive n miles out the centre.
  • the odean, then came warner village - designed for upper working class and lower middle class clusters of bland noisy americanised teenagers.
  • odean, its cheap and you can sneak in warner bros is good if u are too young to see a film (i.e you can lie about ur age and they beleive u) but its bloody expensive!
  • Get to Clifton Moor (Just outside the North of York). It's got most things you can think of. E.g. Warner Brothers, Ten-pin-bowling, Quasar, Pool/Snooker halls etc.
  • City screen plays the randomest bag of shite ive ever seen and the odean came out of the arc.
  • The Odeon on Blossom street is really good & cheap, but dey onli hav 3 screenz so dey sumtimez dont show all films. City screenz gud 2!
  • city screen has damn nice seats - go there
  • odeon is cheap but townie infested ( the male ones of which throw popcorn @ the back of ur head thru the film) City screen is nice but expensive
  • city screen, worth the price with some interesting indie films. odeons the cheapest though- if u dont mind havin male townies throw popcorn at your head sometimes
  • City Screen shows independent and non-mainstream films as well as the occasional blockbuster - easily the best cinema in York
  • the cheapest cinema is the odeon but that it very depressing. the city screen has some good films on, it plays old films(it recently had a showing of the Exorcist)and art house stuff
  • the odeon smells. and its full of townies. and has amazingly uncomfortable seats. city screen is good if u r feeling rich enough!
  • CITY SCREEN
  • The Warner Cinema on Clifton Moor Ind Est. Best place to catch a movie. There is the Flying Legends pub for a drink before (and) after and a restaurant for quick, fast food. The pub is ok in the evening, i used to work there when it was a great pub but now its riddled with kids ! Enjoy the cinema !
  • City Screen coz you can go shopping AND see a film in town on the same day.
  • Over priced - don't get change from a tenner!
  • Cityscreen is in town so good (bit posh - subtitles etc). Warner village has umpteen screens so is also good. Odeon is old.
  • Bowling is cheap out on the ringroad. £6 + shoe hire and you can bowl from 12-6. Warner Village at Clifton moor (out of town) is good but quiet expensive. Odeon in town (just past Micklegate Bar)is cheap but crap. City screen has a new venue and shows some of the more arty films as well as the usual stuff.
  • The City Screen is currently the best cinema in York. It has moved from the Museum Gardens to a giant new building on Coney street. It carries a wide range of films from art house and foreign movies through to the mainstream. Big, new and clean, it has a juice bar and an internet cafe. The seats are big and comfy too!
  • Odeon - flea pit, dead cheap. Warner Bros - Rip off, but more films.
  • Make sure you go for the better seats if you go to the Odeon - The normal ones are nothing more than a thin bit of foam stretched across plywood - much more reasonably priced than Warner Village though
  • TRY THE ODIEN CHEAP AND CHEARFULL
  • That place on Micklegate (no, Sorry, Blossom St) where you can have a beer then go watch a movie...
  • Big, Warner job on the outskirts - almost impossible to get to in less than a week unless you have a car (absolutely impossible to get back from after the sun goes down!).
  • 12 screen Warner multiplex at the Clifton Moor Centre - good choice of films (art-house to blockbusters) but expensive. 3 screen Odeon on Blossom Street (near the station) cheap (under £2) but only 1 decent sized screen - the other 2 are like watching big-screen TV's. Also there's the City Screen in the Museum Gardens, specialising in art-house and second-run films.
