One of my BFFs and an ex-boyfriend but don't tell DH as they're still totally synched with my taste in films and it takes me back to a early/mid 90s great period on indie films and lots of great trips to the cinema with them.

I would go with Lord Palmerson. As he was HAWT

My ideal companion would be Sheridan Smith. She just seems really nice and down to earth plus quite funny. We're also similar ages so hopefully we'd have things to talk about. I thought she was great in Gavin and Stacey so we could have a laugh about those shows.

Sandra bullock, she's lovely. She could give me the low down on the Hollywood A list.

Someone that would bring really good snacks. Maybe Nigella, or either of Hope & Greenwood (the sweet people). Or chocolatier Paul Young.

I'd like someone I could have a giggle with and who is on my wavelength so Claudia Winkleman or Sara Cox.

I would have to say Drop Dead Fred he would be fabulous fun!

Karl Lagerfeldt - because I'd finally have someone to watch all the weird/art house films with, he would make dry comments, but most importantly I wouldn't have to share any of my junk food because I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually eat.

Any historical figure. Working on the premise that they would be nice and dead quiet.
I hate chatting & popcorn munching in my cinema neighbours

Dawn French for a good giggle.

I think it would be interesting to talk fims with Paul Giamatti, he'd have lots of interesting things to say about the fims we would watch.

Charlie Chaplin. To see his reaction to modern day film would be incredible!

definitely johnny depp.

J would say beyonce

I'd like to go with Queen Victoria mostly so I could make this joke but we wouldn't go to a comedy - I doubt she'd be amused...

I would take my lovely neighbour so that we could giggle and chuckle and whisper through the film. We always see the double entendres and smutty references even when there arent any and both revert to being 12 again in a rather silly way. Neither of us have it easy at the moment and we need all the laughs we can get!!

Nathan Fillion. He'd make any film we were watching together hilarious.

Is this with a view to getting off with them? Should I name change? Based on recent films, Sean Penn, Jake Gyllenhaal. Russell Tovey is really funny so I think he'd be fun if we were going to have dinner afterwards to talk about the film. Theo Randall or Michel Roux Jr would be good too, especially if they could cook me dinner.

Keith Lemmon, so when it starts he could say 'rollllll VT' still makes me laugh

Daniel Craig

my husband. cos he wont talk or eat during the show. also he will allow me to spread my legs over his side (he is only very small) lol.

Louis Theroux or Stephen Fry!

Lucy Mangan. Because like me she would...

a) have a good old moan about the cost of drinks and snacks
b) probably have a packet of sweets in her pockets instead of purchasing the over priced stuff at the cinema and I'd share my strawberry bootlaces with her.
c) not want to natter all the way through the bloody thing and would join me in shooting disappointed glances at those who do.
d) unlike my last cinema companions I doubt she would need to be taken to the loo at the good bit, drop her drink so it rolls under the seat in front and then shriek until I climbed under the seats to find it or eat ALL the cola flavoured Moam while rejecting the orange ones and expecting me to tell the difference in the dark.
e) she would be able to have a brief and yet edifying conversation about the plot and what was happening on the bus home and not just "wasn't that thingy who used to be in whats-it playing the one with the hair?" or tortuous painful dissection and feminist/Marxist/Freudian critique to the point of sucking all the enjoyment out of the experience
f) she probably wouldn't want to go for dinner afterwards to discuss the whole thing in minute detail because there is a book to be read
g) she wouldn't want to stay out all night because she also has to get back to go to bed

David Baddiel because he's so intelligent he could always be relied upon to explain complex plots plus if I fell asleep which I normally do at the cinema then he'd be able to tell me exactly what I missed. If the film was boring he'd be able to make me laugh.
