In its heyday, going to the cinema captured the imagination of young and old alike. Bristol boasted over 60 venues ranging from a part-time swimming pool to luxurious super cinemas. In the 50s and 60s television's popularity increased. Cinema-going began to dwindle and the old picture houses disappeared one by one. Today the cinema is back and thriving. Alongside traditional venues, multiplexes and the Imax cinema offer a new all-round entertainment experience.
