NEXT SCREENINGS
BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III (1989)
🎥 Our eighties vibe continues with the final Back to the Future film of the trilogy.
Here, Marty and Doc find themselves neck-deep in trouble in the Wild West of the 1880s. Opportunities to hoedown with the ancestors and sort out some mean, gun-toting rough-necks. Great, madcap fun.

THE LION IN WINTER (1968)
🎥 Join us for medieval intrigue – meet the Plantagenets – a truly dysfunctional family. It is 1183 A.D, winter: King Henry II’s (Peter O’Toole) three sons all want to inherit the throne, but he won’t commit to a choice. His sons and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine (Katharine Hepburn), variously plot to force him into a choice – but he has his agendas….
Starring Peter O’Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Jane Merrow, John Castle, Anthony Hopkins, Timothy Dalton, Nigel Stock and Nigel Terry, the acting is first-class, as is its music (John Barry) and cinematography (Douglas Slocombe).
In The Lion in Winter is a true film classic – not to be missed.
