Mark Barlow, UK General Manager for Showcase Cinemas, said: “The big screen has provided us with so many legendary moments over the years – the list is endless.
“But the British public has collectively earmarked that incredibly iconic ‘phone home’ scene from E.T. as its most magical moment in cinema history. It’s fantastic to see so many wonderful moments from films right across the decades make the top ten.
“From tragedy to comedy and everything in between, there are so many incredible big screen movie moments, and we can’t wait to welcome film fans back to enjoy even more unforgettable magic on our big screens as we reopen our doors on May 17th.”
