Went to the Filmhouse for the first time the other day and loved it! We started with a lunch at the Filmhouse cafe. A bit lacking in atmosphere but the menu certainly makes up for that. The choise is impressive; especially for vegetarians and vegans alike! Your order at the bar, but they’ll bring the food to your table. Very friendly service. I ordered spicy beans nacho with a glass of rose and my partner ordered an Italian bread pizza with a pint from the Isle of Arran. Both were delicious!! I was almost disappointed that we’d purchased tickets for the French movie playing that afternoon. I could have easily stayed for another serving! Merde!

The movie played on Screen 3 - a very small but intimate theatre. As we went for the afternoon session (3pm) we only paid £4.80 per ticket (no concession). That’s not bad at all. Overall, this was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and we certainly will be back for more.

This is another very good cinema, there isnt too much difference between the filmhouse and the cameo, i couldnt really pick a favourite, the filmhouse is a bit more arty and has more foreign films. another one for people who are genuinely interested in film and cinema. The selection of films on are always very good, very comfortable and relaxed, id rather go to the filmhouse or the cameo than an odeon or vue.

The Edinburgh filmhouse is definitely worth checking out. It shows a wide variety of current and classic films, with something for everyone who shares a love of the big screen.

There's a plethora of European-language films, Asian movies and anything world cinema, really. It's a hip, arty kind of place to hang out.

Also, the cafe/bar offers refreshments, including alcoholic beverages. The filmhouse is a great place to watch a movie and especially good for seeing something unique, non-mainstream, emotive and captivating.

Films films films, with a positive adjective stuck at the beginning of each of those.

Whether its european, american or japanese, the filmhouse film is guaranteed to be worthy of studying and pondering afterwards - i'm guessing that's why they provide a cafe/bar as well as a mulititude of screens. I've personally very rarely been disappointed with a film i've seen here, and very often been dumbstruck.

Pop in, pick up a leaflet from the counter, then rearrange your week around what you're going to see at the filmhouse.

The Filmhouse hosts a wide range of films, in particular art house cinema. It is a very educational place with films running in seasons in terms of different directors/styles/countries. There are 3 cinemas within the Filmhouse so there is always a good choice of what to see. You will also get one off shows of classic films and interesting talks to go along with various films.

There is also a cafe/bar which is pleasant and a relaxing environment. A wide range of food and drinks are served.

The Filmhouse also has a great selection of dvds to buy and if your looking for a film that's not there they will order is for you. It's a great service especially when a film is hard to come by.

The Filmhouse is a cinema for serious arthouse lovers but does show some of the more mainstream films too. I go mainly for the cafe/bar which serves really good food. The menu is always really interesting and it can be pretty hard to decide what to order. The cinema loses a few points for me as it doesnt sell popcorn but the cafe/bar is particularly good and is worth a visit just to sample their menu, then you'll keep going back. Keep in mind the cafe/bar gets really busy just before a film goes in.

Edinburgh's Filmhouse is one of those cinemas that sometimes has such an interesting list of showings that you don't feel like you could watch any of them. But that's not a bad thing. Balancing mainstream releases with world cinema and re-issues of old classics, the Filmhouse is to be trusted. Lots happening during the Edinburgh Film Festival in August, too. Good cafe/bar also serving food is great if you want to meet friends before a film.
