I remember the Odeon well. Went there for my 10 th Birthday to see On Her Majesty’s Secret Service . Also saw Live and Let Die and they had speedboats in the foyer. The ceiling was beautiful with star if different sizes illuminated in different colours. There were also private booths.

Me too

I remember the Odeon very well… such fond memories! The good old days of the double-feature, the ice-cream girl and the intermissions! Just being in that area, whether walking or driving by, the cinema always springs to mind, even now. It was my favourite cinema back in the day and is truly sorely missed. I even recall when, sometime in (I think) the 1980s, it became the first cinema (at least in Edinburgh) to introduce non-smoking areas. They designated the rear rows of the stalls as the no-smoking zone. The funny part (irritating at the time!) was that the smokers in the front section would puff away, and a curtain of smoke would rise and drift back into the non-smoking area, choking us non-smokers and creating a haze that masked our view of the screen! The smoke, of course, didn’t know where it wasn’t allowed to go! 😂 It was badly thought out but amusing in retrospect. The last thing I saw at the Odeon was “Raging Bull”, I took my dad to see it. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the original release but a re-screening some years later, although I could be wrong.

Oasis are the best 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤

My mum is trying to get one but Queue❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow, what rich color. Great shot!

Nice Spot!

I watched Star Wars, Return of the Jedi in there in 1982 or 1983.

Your not wise for recording them 😂

What I remember going to see iron maiden in 80's concert killers tour last time

Never saw a film there, unfortunately. Did however see lots of bands, it was a great venue, great memories. Apologies, I meant to add what an interesting and informative short film, well done 👍

Ah memories … we used to see all night movies here when I was in Edinburgh Uni movie club …. and saw Star Wars here too on its opening. Thanks for sharing

Really enjoyed your behind the scenes footage before it closed back in 2003 , can't believe that it has been unoccupied for over 20 years and that it was nearly demolished due to years of neglect ! , i think there were plans about 10 years ago to turn it into a multi entertainment centre by Susan Boyle's brother ! , but he turned out to be a bit of a rogue with all the broken promises and lack of funds. At long last the Scotsman group started work in April to transform it into a nightclub , bar and cinema returning the art deco building to it's former glory. It is the best cinema in the world for me due to 2 films back in 1977 , The Spy Who Loved Me and my favourite of all time , Star Wars , i had no idea while i waited in a long queue around the block on that cold & dark December afternoon the mind blowing impact that i was about to experience , a treasured memory that will stay with me , always !

Used to go there in the 50s and 60s on Saturday mornings great times

Great theatre.

MINE!

I do believe that is mine.

Mans a legend.

Always loved Bowie

Little child stretches up tall! Please give him the beans.❤

Great video. I loved this cinema as a kid. Had so much character. I saw this building getting work done to it today. Lots of vans and a cherry picker. Heard it might be another cinema/bar like the Dominion on morningside.

You can coment it is your you tube short

Great archival footage

I did want to get into this profession until I learned that those lines carry Way over. 900×10^⁵⁰ KV, 400×5^¹⁵TA That's a little too much electricity. I'll just stick with residential. To where I would only be working with a 110 V.~250V 50A

Goodoh.

Traveling in a fried out kombi. On a hippie trail, head full of zombie. I met a strange lady she made me nervous.

I was only 5-6 then. I loved the gala week.

NICE

The once lovely beautiful original Odeon has gone into history. It was indeed grand and very opulent inside and had a real sense of cinema feeling to it making it comfortable to watch a film there . It will be missed and there is nothing that will replace this once fine film entertainment building . It's sad it's gone but remains in memory always.

Glory days gone forever... No punters you see... Digital TV has replaced going to the movies. Hundreds were demolished as long ago as the 1960's.

Great film...what a huge cinema.. but again Odeon leaders saw more in the value of the property to sell..as always seems the case ....Odeon 1 looked great..despite the 80s modernisation....wonder where the chief protectionist is now..seems like a decent chap:)

Jeez , that was our year
