Cruising
1980 102mins USA (18) Crime / Thriller

There’s a killer on the loose in New York City, and he’s targeting gay men in the West Village. Fortunately for the NYPD, he’s got a type – slim, dark-haired, handsome – and officer Steve Burns (Al Pacino) fits the bill. To crack the case, Steve must journey into the city’s nocturnal underworld of S&M and leather bars, hoping to catch the killer’s eye – but will he lose himself along the way? Controversial with both straight and gay audiences upon its initial release, Friedkin’s film still retains its power to shock and unsettle 45 years later.

2001 : A Space Odyssey
1968 160mins UK, USA (U) Science Fiction

Warner Bros. Pictures present an ‘unrestored’ 70mm print of the director’s groundbreaking science fiction epic!


"For the first time since the original release, this 70mm print was struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative. This is a true photochemical film recreation. There are no digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits. This is the unrestored film - that recreates the cinematic event that audiences experienced fifty years ago." - Christopher Nolan


Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award®-winning* achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” Let an awesome journey unlike any other begin.


Please Note: Our 70mm screenings of '2001: A Space Odyssey' follow a partictular presentation procedure;

- Overture (3mins / Music)

- 1st half of feature (86mins)

- * Intermission* (usually 10 for quieter shows, can be 20mins for busier ones)

- Entracte (2mins / Music)

- 2nd half of feature (54mins)

- Exit (5mins / Music)


- Total time; approx 170mins (though this is dependent on Intermission length)


Dogma: Resurrected! A 25th Anniversary Celebration
1999 130mins USA (15) Comedy

Twenty-five years ago, Kevin Smith unleashed Dogma, a sharp, irreverent religious satire that sparked conversation, controversy, and cult fandom around the world. In this remastered 4K edition, Dogma: Resurrected!, reintroduces the story of Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), two banished angels who seek to exploit a theological loophole and return to Heaven, thereby inadvertently nullifying all of existence. A reluctant abortion clinic worker (Linda Fiorentino) is tasked with stopping them, guided by a heavenly host that includes the last scion of Christ, a muse, a pair of prophets, and the voice of God.

With its razor-sharp dialogue, philosophical underpinnings, and genre-blending boldness, Dogma remains as provocative and funny now as it was in 1999, if not more so.
