Accessible cinema with great selection of films

I have been a few times to see films and also enjoy the Filmhouse Cafe. All three screens are accessible, the booking system is great for wheelchair users and you can get a companion ticket for free.

Always a great selection films for their diverse audiences, great for inclusion

The film house is a staple for any film lover in Edinburgh or visitor. One sunny April afternoon we went to see a Paul Verhoeven double bill, unfortunately we booked ages before when we weren't use to seeing the sun! Throughly enjoyed Robocop (a lot more funnier than I remembered) and Starship Troppers.
