Day 3: What was the last movie you saw at the cinema?

There's actually quite a funny story for this. The night before I left to move to Germany, so around March time, my boyfriend decided that we should have a nice, last night together. There's an independent cinema near us in Sheffield and at that time it had joined forces with the uni to put on several philosophy film screenings, so they would show a film and have a little talk afterwards.
To my delight, they were actually showing a German film, Wings of Desire. I'd studied German film the previous year and after watching a twenty minute excerpt of the film I'd been meaning to get around to watching it. 
Oh how wrong I was.
The film is actually just a montage of different characters, and there are some angels thrown in there for good measure. In all honesty I didn't have a clue what was going on and neither did my boyfriend.
So forty minutes and with two more hours of the film to go (it's a really, really long film), we crept out of the cinema screen, and drove back home but not before stopping at the local pizza takeaway and having a good laugh about the worst film we'd ever seen.

All in all, it was a fantastic last night before I left for Germany.
