Get booking pronto - and it may be well worth your getting a cheap Prince Charles yearly membership for this, it may save loads of money, it does in the short run let alone the long run.

Thanks for the heads up. I may not make this evening, but I've initially bought membership and tickets for the Eon run from next week's FRWL through to TMWTGG.
I remember watching Everything Or Nothing a few years ago there

What are the prints like? Are they shown in the upstairs or downstairs cinema?

Interesting complaints about the noise during FRWL - to be honest, I really enjoyed the atmosphere - it reminded me how fun these films are supposed to be. I had never realised how funny even FRWL - one of the most 'serious' Bond films - actually is, watching these films with a bunch of people is a really nice experience.
FRWL was in The Prince Charles downstairs cinema. It was a high quality restored picture, I believe from Park Circus, as screened a couple of years ago at the BFI Southbank. (I remember from the BFI programme that most of the 60s and 70s Bonds had been restored by Park Circus - but that TMWTGG was an exception, screened in a faded and scratched original print. I'm hoping that the Prince Charles will be showing a restored print of TMWTGG this time.)
Happy to meet up for a drink in Leicester Square for half an hour or so before either TB or YOLT - Private Message me. (By the way, I have a ticket for the OHMSS screening which I'm happy to give away in advance, as I'm not now going to be around on 15th Feb.)
Granted, audience reaction in the cinema enhances enjoyment when it works with the grain of the film - and many lines and moments in FRWL are quite funny. (For example, Tania's line, "Even if you kill me I can say nothing!" is so ridiculous it always raises a smile with me, despite the drama of the scene in which she says it. I'm also amused by a couple of Bond's cheeky interventions during the fight between the Bulgars and gypsies, where he improvises taking out pairs of struggling opponents indiscriminately.) But at the risk of sounding like a grumpy killjoy, I'm turned off by ostentatious over-reactions by the sometimes more attention-seeking contingents among cinema audiences. The Prince Charles has a bit of a tradition with that, encouraged by its sing-a-long screenings and fanathons, etc. When all's said and done, it's great anyway to have the chance to catch classic Bond on the big screen again with a cinema audience.
We both are weary of the cinema goers who think that they are at home in their living room.
I even went to see Hob with a pal of mine and his daughter. I was appalled, as she asked questions of him during the film, and then fidgeted non stop, as she is a phone addict like most of the youngsters. Had to see it again on my own, late at night!
Hate the unwashed masses in theatres!
You chaps in the UK may not have to put up with another gem that we do in Ca: our lovely imports find it amusing to talk to each other in their native language, which is ok in their country, but not in ours, during the film.
Next, it's the techies and their facebook scrolling, holding the phone up high whilst they slouch in their seat, up until the film starts, or even after.
Even with THREE warnings from the theatres, idiots still think that nobody sees them (I do!) and they could care less who they bother, so as not to miss an instagram!
Yet more lovely ones are the power mothers who bring their under aged kids to an R rated film!
I must say that there are pockets of community theatres here in San Francisco, like the Castro, that have well behaved, and enthusiastic audiences.
So, we now have to pick and choose our theatres wisely.
Most of the new films out there, I can wait a few months to see anyway.
NOT going to see SPECTRE unless its a Bond crowd!
probably will see in a private screening w AMOC members. $100 per ticket will be a small price to pay for not having that popcorn swilling idiot in my vicinity.
Don't get me started....
This time including Spectre.

Great news! I only wish I were there and able to attend every film!
The likes of TB and YOLT must look amazing. -{
