THE film may have been a comedy adventure but plenty of viewers had tears in their eyes when it was over.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth said goodbye tonight to its grand ABC cinema \u2013 the last remaining high street ABC in the country.<\/p>\n

The curtains of the giant ABC1 screen closed for the final time after a screening of the 1985 time-travel hit Back to the Future, chosen by Daily Echo readers from a shortlist provided by the cinema\u2019s operator, Odeon.<\/p>\n

Odeon is closing both Bournemouth\u2019s Westover Road cinemas to move into the new BH2 leisure development off the Square.<\/p>\n

The shortlist also included Lawrence of Arabia, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral and the Wizard of Oz.<\/p>\n
