This is one of my favourite cinemas, its one of those places where you wouldn’t mind going to see a film on your own, everything is very relaxed and comfortable, it always has an excellent selection of films playing, this is one for people who are genuinely interested in film and cinema, id much rather see a film at the cameo or the filmhouse than pop down the local vue or odeon, not that theres anything wrong with thoses places, they just don’t feel as… personal

good range of films more intelligent films most of the time compared to cinemas such as odeon very friendly staff pleasent decor

Great little cinema,central of city,one day of week,is cheap day(wednesday),Find out more when you get there

If you like a place with character,bored of the blandness of visiting your local multiplex cinema, looking for a film that will challenge your senses plus an a good helping of Ben and Jerry’s-the Cameo is for you.

Super!

Wonderful traditional cinema house recently saved by its fans from a fate worse than death - conversion to leisure club or some such. With three cinemas showing a great selection of ‘Art House’ and classic cinema, and great member’s deals, as well as a comfortable bar / cafe, it (and the Filmhouse) are the top places for anyone genuinely interested in cinema.

I think we should all heave a big collective sigh of relief that the cameo wasn't bought up and turned into something horribly capitalistic, which it very nearly was quite recently. There was a petition against the corporate take-over which very quickly had the Cameo's cult followers up in arms.

If you've never been, then you absolutely must - grab a nice glass of wine or a cloudy apple pear and elderflower juice from the bar, and head in to one of the geat little screens to watch a great little film.

i used to live just around the corner from here and we sometimes used to take a duvet and a pot of ice-cream into the cinema and just, oh... so cosy and warm...

The Cameo is one of the best art house cinemas in Scotland, showing a wide range of films from home to around the world. It shows a particularly good range of European films.

It is a very friendly and welcoming environment with great staff. There are 3 cinemas, all of which are comfortable and good to view within.

In addition to the cinema itself there is a great bar. Even if you don't fancy watching a film it is a great place to go and socialise/chill out. It is a cosy and relaxing environment to be in.

The Cameo is up there with the Dominion and the Filmhouse in being a superb Edinburgh cinema. If anything, it may have the best selection of foreign language/independent cinema in the whole of Scotland.

The whole place is extremely evocative of the golden age of cinema and hasn't been tarnished by the passing of time. When you step through the door it's as if you have been transported back to the 1920s.

I recently saw The Lives of Others here and I have to say that, even though I would have enjoyed the film anyway, the setting of the Cameo made it even more of a special experience.

It's no surprise that this venue is extremely popular during the Edinburgh film festival and shares a lot of premieres with its sister-cinema, the Filmhouse.

I would also recommend the bar as it has a great selection of drinks and has a lovely laid-back vibe to it and you're more likely to see someone reading Kafka than Heat! An enlightened crowd will enjoy the Cameo.

For the movie connoisseur, Cameo boasts a selection of fine films. Mostly arthouse style but usually something to suit most tastes.

Sure Cameo shows its age a little but this ads to the old fashioned feel of proper red carpet style and decor. Plus, how good is being able to enjoy a bevy whilst at the movies!

There's also a bar that serves food as well for before or after the flick. Upon exiting Cameo, you really do feel like you've been to the movies - take that Hollywood!

The Cameo is without a doubt my favourite cinema in Edinburgh. It shows a good range of films and the benefits for members are really good, including free previews and the free Sunday double bill, you also get a discount on ticket prices. It has a real personal feel to it, it's chilled out and friendly. The seats are comfy with good leg space and it has the nicest popcorn in Edinburgh! They put on lovely Christmas nights showing It's a Wonderful Life with mulled wine and mince pies. It's a real one off cinema with lots of charm and not to mention it's historical context within Edinburgh.

The Cameo is another Edinburgh institution. You can become a member for a reasonable amount and this entitled you to buy one get one free offers and tickets for special screenings. The best thing about the cameo is the fact that they play more world films as well as the more mainstream offerings and the bar is cosy, with a great selection of munchies that are worlds away from the usual plastic cimema hotdogs.

The Cameo always has a good selection of films on and is another good reason not to go to a big bland multiplex. There are deals for regular cinema-goers plus an email list for regular updates on showings. Also a great little bar serving platters of olives, bread and oil, too, if you get a bit peckish in the afternoon before the film starts.
