I have very fond memories of my two-week stay in London when I was 18. And some great film-viewings are part of it. From the dozen films I saw, many have since become favorites. One memorable experience was watching Baise-moi in the cinema, because all the tickets for Amelie were sold out. Half of the people attending the screening walked out, and the rest were probably initially as shocked and clueless as myself. When I watched King Kong at the BFI on the other hand, this was one of a handful of film-experiences where absolutely the whole audience sat mesmerized and in awe before the screen. 
I didn't have the privilege of seeing and listening to Seijun Suzuki, though. 
But as I remember the ticket prizes were at some venues ridiculously high.
