Movies offer the chance to escape life for a couple of hours and be transported elsewhere – to stimulate debate, to laugh, to cry, to learn, to simply be entertained.

To sit in a darkened movie theatre is a little slice of luxury – warm, comfortable and utterly self-indulgent. Most of us wait until the weekend or the evening to go out to a movie, but what about the daytime movie? “I couldn’t,” you say, “I mustn’t. I should be doing something else..”

What else should you be doing? If you are feeling a little low, or unwell, or simply at a loose end, why not go to a movie during the day? There are hardly ever queues during the day, you can take your pick of seats and let’s face it, it’s a treat.

During the cooler months, it also means you can be home again before it gets dark and cold, you don’t have to struggle to stay up late and it can be a welcome distraction if you are home alone during the day.

Call a friend and inveigle them into coming too if you like, but the solo daytime movie is one of life’s pleasures that everyone should indulge in occasionally.

Go on. Check the daytime movie schedule. You will never regret it!
