Regular Expression for " - " and characters after

This is a question for experts on regular expressions, since it is something that I dont have much insight.

Its not C#, java specific, its a general regular expression that I need to put in one application that will rename files.

Basically I have structures of folders like this.

1 - I went to the cinema 1
   I went to the cinema 1 - movie title 1
   I went to the cinema 1 - movie title 2
   I went to the cinema 1 - movie title 3
   I went to the cinema 1 - movie title 4

2 - I went to the cinema 2
3 - I went to the cinema 3

I need an expression that pretty much returns the text after " - " because everything is before is the parent folder name.

May be a simple question but I did some search and I can't find it.

Thanks
