Remember when Diet Coke introduced a new reason for women to take breaks with its cheeky ad featuring a muscle-bound construction worker? Or when Kylie Minogue mesmerised the nation’s men in her risqué Agent Provocateur rodeo feature? Or even more recently when the Orange ads came to the silver screen and entertained the audience while reminding people to switch off their mobile phones?
Today Digital Cinema Media (DCM), the market leader in cinema advertising launches an online campaign to uncover the UK’s favourite cult cinema ad. Memorable ads that have greeted cinemagoers over the last four decades are being rated by the public to identify the nation’s ultimate iconic cinema advert.

It is now up to the public to vote for their favourite ad and help define cinema history. To vote please visit: www.dcm.co.uk. Voting is open throughout December. The shortlist of the 10 ultimate cult cinema ads includes:
