What was the last film to feature an intermission? The only film I ever saw in a theatre that had an intermission was Amadeus, but certainly there have been more after that. I think The Right Stuff had an intermission... but what about after that?

I dont know, jim. But I can think of a lot of recent movies that cry out for an Intermission. A very long one. Starting 5 mins in and ending 5 mins before the end!!

Yup, The Hateful Eight had one, but I think I have to go back to the sixties to remember the time before (for me anyway). I don't think they're a good idea as they take you out of the film, but the cinema gets to sell a lot of confectionery. The ABC Bayswater stopped JAWS: THE REVENGE halfway through for an entirely unofficial internission so they could sell ice-creams.

I never liked them. When I start watching a film, no matter how long, I don't want any interruption. It's an intrusive measure which might, at best, be endurable by 50% of cinema goers. Tell that to my bladder...if a movie runs 2 1/2 hours or longer, it DEFINITELY becomes an endurance test. Add to that un-skippable trailers beforehand, and certain movies are VERY hard to sit through without taking a break, and only at home can you pause the movie to take a whizz without missing anything. Can you HONESTLY say you'd want to sit through a four-hour old-school epic like Gone With The Wind or Ben-Hur in one go without needing a pee break, or at least a stretch? And Grindhouse had an intermission with fake trailers and vintage ads in-between the two feature presentations, so that sort of counts.

The last film with an intermission that I can remember was THE LION IN WINTER. But then, unlike many of you, I loved roadshows, and still have a long shelf full of souvenir programs from them.
