The cinema. A place where people can go to kick back, relax and immerse themselves in another world.

But just as important as the stories being told on the screen, are those off it.

And the Odeon on Worcester's Foregate Street is certainly not short of its own blockbuster narrative.

It has even starred some famous faces, such as Rush Hour's Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, who visited in 1999.

So, grab some popcorn and take a look through this collection of cinematic masterpieces from the Worcester News archives.
