This is the closest cinema to the Clifton Campus, so students residing there might want to check it out. A large, comfortable multiplex including a small café serving pizzas, hot dogs, nachos and other snacks perfect for a trip to the movies. The 11 screens mainly cater to the larger blockbusters, offering cut prices every Tuesday. Frankie and Benny's restaurant, the local Megabowl and ISIS Nightclub are very close by as all accompany the Showcase in the retail park location. Taxis are always close-by and cost about £6 to or from the Clifton campus.

UGC Cinemas
The Corner House 29, Forman St.
Nottingham
NG1 4AA
Tel: 0871 2002000

The Cornerhouse is a building that plays host to a gaggle of fabulous bars, restaurants and of course the popular UGC cinema complex.
This is an excellent cinema that is always brimming with students. It has a great comfort factor; the screen rooms are extremely cosy with great squashy chairs and plenty of legroom!
Always showing the best blockbusters and also known not to turn it's head from smaller movies, this is a great place to catch the flicks! However, might be worth booking ahead as it always seems to be sold out at peak times.

Broadway Cinema
14-18, Broad St.
Nottingham
NG1 3AL
Tel: 0115 952 6611

Located in Hockley, this is Nottingham's premiere arthouse cinema. Loved especially for its screenings of independent films and frequented by students for it's quaint atmosphere. A great place to go for a quiet night out to watch a film and if you want to avoid the crowds.

Savoy Cinemas
233, Derby Rd
Nottingham
NG7 1QN
Tel: 0115 947 2580

Look out for the usherettes and the half-time intervals at this cinema. The Savoy is a little way out of town, but depending on where you're living in the city this maybe the best location for you. Located on the edge of Lenton, The Savoy steers clear of the crowds and has a very relaxed atmosphere and although not swarming with cinemagoers, this is still a popular spot with students. Being a slightly smaller complex The Savoy shows the best of the crop: the best of the new blockbusters, but also a selection of independent movies. The authentic experience of a visit to the Savoy attracts movie lovers, as it's changed very little in all the time it's been showing film in Nottingham!

Screen Room
25, Broad St.
Nottingham
NG1 3AP
Tel: 0115 924 1133

'The smallest cinema in the world' boasts a tiny 'screen room' for your viewing pleasure of fabulous short films and independent flicks. Also situated in Hockley, the Screen Room offers a similar ambiance to Broadway Cinema (but is alot smaller). There's no popcorn on the menu here - just coffee and carrot cake. The Screen Room often shows short films each week before the 8.30pm feature with the short changing weekly. A great cinematic experience if only to say you've been to 'the smallest cinema in the world'.
