    First I've heard if it. Hopefully it was the original Italian Job and not that crappy remake.

    Is it running for many nights?

    Very quiet. Just looked up their facebook page where they are announcing the film for that evening each morning.

    Yeah seems it was a bit last minute, would have gone if I'd known in advance/what film they were screening. Would be lovely to see something like during the summer.

    I agree but I do know that The Model have a couple of French films on over the next week or so and for €10 you get the cinema admission and a glass of wine....a pleasant way to spend an evening!!

    there is a facebook page and they and they announce each nights movie on the day it is shown ... was down in the "Italian Quarter" today .. nice atmosphere .. but again the weather really makes it .. it was a bit windy and overcast today .. tonights film was "Cinema Paradiso" .. didn't make it ;-(

    there was a few stalls set up selling burgers and pasta with a mobile wine bar .. don't know how the french bakery shop feels now that area is renamed the "Italian Quarter"!

    In relation to The Model Cinema, is it any good, or getting much of a crowd? I seen them advertising Good Vibrations in the week. Would wonder if it got many, considering when I seen it in The Gailty there was only about 3 of us there.

    Not everyone is on FB though, even then, it was on here that I seen it mentioned first, and I subscribe to the Italian Qtr page.

    Oh yes.... I'm a big fan of The Model cinema.

    Keep an eye on their website....it gives the listings a few weeks know advance. They have a really good mix of world cinema films.
    The admission is €8 or €7 if you book online.

    Was down there today and there was a great atmosphere with kids getting faces painted and street food and great live music. Was chatting to a few of the workers and they told me they had ads on radio, flyers dropped to estates as well as Facebook twitter etc. but I only happened upon it by chance. Fair play to them trying to create fun around the place!

    They show some brilliant movies, esp because I'm not really a fan of what the Gaiety bring in. There's always a handful of people there. Slice cafe serves wine and nibbles before the movie that you can bring in with you. They update their fb and website regularly with the listings: http://themodel.ie/film

    we went to "Roman Holiday" last night .. they had a few Gazebos set up with tables and chairs .. wasn't too cold.. there was a box of blankets at the door of Casa Mia for people to use .. we had a few glasses of wine and some food ... and it was really nice

    BUT the mobile wine bar was too close to the screen and a crowd of lads took residence there for the night, we could hardly hear the movie at times, we ended up leaving half way thru the movie .. was such a pity, it would have lovely to have sat there all night, we mentioned it to the management when we left, they offered to turn the volume up but at that stage we just wanted to leave.

    apart from that it was a great idea and If its on again I would deffo make an effort to go .. as long as the mobile wine bar is moved a bit!
