To mark the occasion of our upcoming fourth anniversary, on Saturday 28 March the entire day will be filled with films proposed by members, across all three screens.
The day will commence with our Pay What You Can family screening of the enduring The Princess Bride – from the sorely missed Rob Reiner. Alternatively, start your day with early screenings of Akira Kurosawa’s epic Seven Samurai, Alain Delon pulling of an intricate heist in Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Cercle Rouge, or Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s spectacular study of love and fascism, The Marriage of Maria Braun.
The afternoon brings a choice of three delights: you can join the ranks of New York’s most privileged in the first of Whit Stillman’s ‘urban haute bourgeoisie’ trilogy: Metropolitan. Or you can be driven out of your mind by Anton Walbrook in the original screen adaptation of Gaslight. Alternatively, simply bask in the warmth of Aki Kaurismäki’s humanist and deadpan Le Havre.
Our early evening screenings have been specially selected to get you in the party mood. You can have cocktails and spite with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in Mike Nichols’ Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, get tangled up in the Wachowski sisters’ neo-noir Bound, or indulge in Wes Anderson’s greatest cinematic confection, The Grand Budapest Hotel.
For those looking to plot a course through the day, end times for each screening can be found on the individual film pages.
