I only jumped on the bandwagon this year and my first was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Dear me that was a long film... It was a shame I didn't find the free screens a few months earlier as there was some before CCBB that I'd like to have seen! Still, sure they'll be plenty more coming

I was a very late starter. My first was Bruno... pretty good experience, apart from being almost strip searched!
Been to two previews after Bruno, and haven't been searched since then.

My first was Burn After Reading at Surrey Quays, although almost missed it as we couldn't find the cinema!! Would not go back to Surrey Quays if I could help it!!! :wall:

Mine was 21. I didn't know about free previews but got invited by my cousin who got the tix from her friend. The moment I got home, I started searching the net for free movie tickets :p It took me almost a year to catch on that FMUK is *THE PLACE* to find them!!!

It's easy to get to by car but is quite hard to find when walking. I was lucky my friend knew where it was when we walked it!

Mine was 'In Bruges' about a year and a half ago, great film, can remember thinking throughout the film that there had to be some sort of catch to this freeness lol!

That's almost as bad as Burn After Reading! Poor you. Let's hope you get some better movies soon!
