Curtain up on 13 fantastic scenes from the picture houses of Newcastle.

I loved a day at the cinema complete with popcorn, ice cream and the works.

But I love this gallery of nostalgic pictures from Getty Images even more, showing the pictures at the Odeon, Manors, Tyneside Cinema, Manors and more.

Join me for a movie journey as we travel from 1933 to 1996.
