For its size, Bonn is quite well supplied with cinemas. The three major ones in the city centre are the Metropol and Stern (both UFA) on Marktplatz plus the Woki-Filmpalast on Bertha-von-Süttner-Platz. A multiplex Kinopolis opened in Bad Godesberg in 1997. Then there are what are known as Programmkinos that show classic and art films: the Neue Filmbühne and the Rex Lichtspieltheater in Beuel and Endenich respectively, and the Bonner Kinamathek in the Brotfabrik art centre, Beuel.
Tip: If you like watching films at home, a good source of English-language videos except the very latest releases is Bad Godesberg district library (Bezirksbibliothek). An English video rental shop that closed down a couple of years ago donated its entire collection. The library is across from Kinopolis at the junction of Moltkestrasse and Bonner Strasse and opens Mon., Wed., Thu., Fri. 10 am - 1 pm and 2.30 - 6 pm (Wed. 7pm); Sat. 10 am - 12 noon. You need a member's card (Kundenausweis, at the time of writing 15 euros a year from any Bonn public library); borrowing videos costs a small extra fee.

I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you for your loyalty. You made it fun because you kept coming back, and I met quite a number of you over the years through this site (many of you knew me through my site before we had even met). It was really weird meeting someone for the first time and having them quote my web page when they found out who I was because they were regular visitors and loved my site. That was my first hint that this little page that I had created was affecting other people and that people were actually visiting the site and counting on it. I have relocated to the US, but it doesn't mean I won't stop going to the movies. They'll just be coming out on video when they are hitting the German market :-). So please keep in touch.
