Coffee, cake and a shared love of film brings a community together
When someone tells you they've found a hidden gem they don't usually mean it's literally hidden but that's how it feels when you visit Southport's Bijou Cinema for the first time.
The Bijou has given me the opportunity to see Strangers on a Train, Dial M For murder, Thelma and Louise, Twelve Angry Men, Terminator 2 and Die Hard on the big screen for the first time . Seeing Die Hard with proper surround sound and an audience was a brilliant experience considering I must have already seen it dozens of times on video and DVD.
I later contacted Bijou manager Andy Harrison to tell him I wanted to write about them and he immediately focused on the purpose of a community for film lovers, as envisaged by Mike Lockwood, the driving force behind the Bijou who died in 2021. He said: "Mike's wish was, when you go to multiplexes it's not in the nature of them to hang out after a film and talk about what you have seen.
