Dario Argento is Europe’s leading horror director and his SUSPIRIA is a masterpiece which transcends cinema, extending into pure art. Argento’s expressionist hyper-assault on our senses is legendary: with his groundbreaking excessive style staging jaw-dropping mind-frying on-screen violent gore, which is Argento’s own inimitable trademark, SUSPIRIA is situated between art-house aesthetics and splatter gore-fest!
The film stars Jessica Harper as an American student who uncovers a deadly coven of witches at her prestigious German Dance Academy. With its highly distinctive cinematography and an unnerving pounding score by Goblin,SUSPIRIA is an epic nightmare – as influential as it is terrifying – which it will stay with the viewer for ever.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, 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: The 70mm presentationas of the film will be screened with the original 10 minute interval. To minimise disruption where possible, we ask that customers please remain in their seats for interval and the duration of the entire performance, if possible.
When teenagers Mike (Grant Cramer) and Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, they investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It's not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it's up to him to stop the clowns' bloody rampage.
Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), born into a magical family, have mostly avoided witchcraft themselves. But when Gillian's vicious boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic), dies unexpectedly, the Owens sisters give themselves a crash course in hard magic. With policeman Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn) growing suspicious, the girls struggle to resurrect Angelov -- and unwittingly inject his corpse with an evil spirit that threatens to end their family line.
Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are finding that modern life has them struggling with the mundane - like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) looks the part of a perfect high school girl. But after she’s caught with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night, Cameron is quickly shipped off to a conversion therapy center that treats teens “struggling with same-sex attraction.” At the facility, Cameron is subjected to outlandish discipline, dubious “de-gaying” methods, and earnest Christian rock songs—but this unusual setting also provides her with an unlikely gay community. For the first time, Cameron connects with peers, and she’s able to find her place among fellow outcasts.
David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne), two American college students, are backpacking through Britain when a large wolf attacks them. David survives with a bite, but Jack is brutally killed. As David heals in the hospital, he's plagued by violent nightmares of his mutilated friend, who warns David that he is becoming a werewolf. When David discovers the horrible truth, he contemplates committing suicide before the next full moon causes him to transform from man to murderous beast.
New York City police investigator Dewey Wilson (Albert Finney) is trying to solve a series of grisly deaths in which the victims have seemingly been maimed by feral animals. He teams up with expert criminologist Rebecca Neff (Diane Venora), and together they stumble upon a band of inner-city Native Americans, led by the streetwise Eddie Holt (Edward James Olmos), who warns Wilson and Neff about a wolf-like, mythical creature that could offer a shocking solution to this disturbing case.
A soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.

Tommy Wiseau's "masterpiece" The Room has been hailed as the biggest cult film since Rocky Horror.
So bad it's good, it's drawn a cult following in the US with viewers acting out skits, storming out in disgust, and throwing plastic cutlery during screenings. However unlike other cult films such as Rocky Horror, or the Big Lebowski, these fans are drawn to how bad they regard the film to be! Come and see the birth of a cult with it's poor score, terrible acting and internet meme generating script.

In the hope of getting a replacement for his soiled carpet, 'the Dude' pays a visit to his wealthy namesake... The Big Lebowski will be released by Park Circus in selected international territories throughout 2018.

presented in partnership with 77 FILMS.
Conceived by David Byrne, Contemporary Color is a collaborative performance event with music inspired by colour guard, a flag-wielding high school tradition that too often slips under the radar.
Calling on friends to score original music for his event, Byrne ignited a year-long collaboration between the colour guard community and artists such as St. Vincent, Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange), How To Dress Well, Ad-Rock, Nelly Furtado and Ira Glass, the result of which is an electric live concert that blends music, choreography and documentary storytelling.
Directed by brothers Bill and Turner Ross, Contemporary Color is a modern pillar of the concert film canon; one that not only shines a spotlight on the much cooler answer to cheerleading, but also onto how the world is about to change for these performing high schoolers, paired with entirely new material from some of the world’s leading musicians.
Expect, in the words of Byrne himself: “Elaborate costumes, professional athleticism combined with modern dance, and rock stars in their element—all culminating in the biggest glitter cannon show of your life.”

SPEED RACER - 10th Anniversary 35mm Celluloid Sorceress Presentation
Born into a family race car business, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is one of the track's hottest stars. At the wheel of his Mach 5 he consistently deflates the competition. When Speed turns down an offer from the head of Royalton Industries he uncovers a secret: powerful moguls fix the races to boost profits. Hoping to beat the executive Speed enters the same arduous cross-country race that killed his brother.
After announcing their acquisition of the rights Warner Bros held SPEED RACER in development for 15 years before legendary producer Joel Silver reteamed with Lana and Lilly Wachowski to bring the world of Speed and his brother Racer X to the big screen.
Shot digitally but released in both 35mm and Imax 15/70, the visionaries behind The Matrix created a luminous technicolor universe filled with vivid characters in one of the most unconventional blockbusters of the decade.
SPEED RACER was not a hit, talk of a sequel was abandoned and the directors have still to return to the glory of their Matrix days. But like The Matrix before it, SPEED RACER is filmmaking ahead of its time and a decade later deserves to be celebrated on the big screen from an original 35mm print for all the fans of the classic 60s anime and manga series!

Soho, 1959. With the world on the brink of nuclear destruction, a group of filmmakers and a young philosopher set out to prove that a typewriter and a camera can be mightier than a nuclear bomb.
The story of ADRIFT IN SOHO is the story of how a group of people from the seediest part of town can rise up and challenge the world.
On the face of it, they are all losers. The world seems to be running away from them. As a result, they form their own secret society totally divorced from the city they live. They develop their own rules, their own lifestyles and values. But it soon turns out that the new generation would turn in their favour and shun the wider society. Only a few years later the youth of Britain would join Soho and change the world. This is the first time that this original group of people is remembered on film. They never asked for the limelight, they have it now.
What should seemingly powerless individual do when the world goes mad? What should you do when surrounded by scary fog and shadows, smoke and mirrors? Stand firm. Think. The Soho heroes of that decade also include a count fallen on hard times, a vagrant with an iron foot, a artist with a big chip on his shoulder, street hostesses, a mad fencer, writers, drinkers and chancers. But they were much better than what the outside world had to offer.
ADRIFT IN SOHO took years of research to find out what really happened in those last few years before the 60s began. The result is a film full of wonderment but also a film that makes you think and demands your attention because the characters are talking to you and not just trying to make you dream.
A young mute woman who is working in a New England mansion as a domestic is terrorized by a maniac who is killing off people with disabilities. After being warned of the danger to her personal safety she makes plans to leave the dark old house, but it is too late. The maniac is in the house, and she is his prey.

It’s the day before the end of the world - everyone is spending time with loved ones, engaging in debauchery, or just generally tying up loose ends.

But when a strange woman enlists his help to get across Toronto to complete a suicide pact, he must venture out into the world one last time before it’s gone for good.
This landmark Canadian film is a low-key and darkly comic odyssey that simply but elegantly asks what is most important to us in the face of extinction. Featuring a crucial early role for Sandra Oh (GREY’S ANATOMY) and an aptly eerie appearance from director David Cronenberg, LAST NIGHT is an under-appreciated triumph that deserves its spot in the canon of great apocalyptic films.
This screening is a part of Up North & Underground, a season of films highlighting the underground Canadian cinema of the 90s and introducing rarely-screened titles to London audiences, celebrating the weird underbelly of Toronto and beyond.
The first feature film of the legendary Monty Python group takes us on a medieval quest in England, circa 932 A.D. Wise-cracking, sublimely irreverent and jaw-droppingly hysterical, this comedy will bring laughter (and coconuts!) to our lives when we most need a dose of anarchic Python daring.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail follows King Arthur (Graham Chapman) who is accompanied by his trusty servant Patsy (Terry Gilliam) to seek knights to join his round table at Camelot. The quest isn’t, however, as easy as it might sound: constitutional-obsessed peasants, a Three-Headed Knight and singing dancers of Camelot are only a few of the characters that our merry group of knights will come across on their journey. And did we mention the coconuts already?
Endlessly quotable and quintessentially British, the film also later served as inspiration for the hit musical Spamalot.
As part of the BFI Comedy Genius Tour
We're pleased to announce that 'Monty Python The Python Knights Cosplay' will be joining us for the Sunday afternoon performance. They will be at the cinema for an hour or so before the film starts to bring a little extra joy to the event and pose for photos.

The final girl is dead, long live the final girl! These shorts are the perfect balance between scary and disturbing, on a whole new level. Ancient legends, catcalling turned bloody, dodgy psychics, moody teenage vampires and haunted houses - these shorts take established genre conventions and turn them into something original - and haunting.
Based on a true story, the film tells of the courageous men and women who risk their lives every working day, pitting their fishing boats and rescue vessels against the capricious forces of nature. Their worst fears are realized at sea on Halloween of 1991, when they are confronted by three raging weather fronts which unexpectedly collide to produce the greatest, fiercest storm in modern history -- "The Perfect Storm."
Much has been said about the “strong female character”. The characters in these shorts go beyond that, shedding any unrealistic expectation placed on women onscreen and presenting us with complex female characters that don’t shy away from the darker side.
Easily excitable Neal Page (Steve Martin) is somewhat of a control freak. Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife (Laila Robins) and kids, his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.
Nothing is as it seems in this selection of thrilling shorts that push our boundaries and defy expectations. An atmospheric selection of thrillers that explores the darkness of human relationships, from dodgy wealthy men who crave attention to dystopian societies that permit crime. Short, slick and tense, with major thrills to leave you gasping.
A career-changing role for comedic motormouth and action star Eddie Murphy (48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop), Coming to America was the first romantic comedy for the undisputed box office king of the 1980s. Popular to this day for its memorable characters and meme-friendly dialogue and costumes, this cult comedy favourite from director John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Animal House) also includes great performances by Arsenio Hall and James Earl Jones, as well as early appearances by Samuel L. Jackson and Cuba Gooding Jr.
It’s the story of a 21-year-old prince, Akeem (Murphy) from the fictional African country of Zamunda. Rejecting a life of pampered luxury and an arranged marriage in his home country, he decides to travel to America with his best friend Semmi (Hall) to live the American dream and find true love instead – comically assuming that New York’s Queens is the only place fit for a king. But whilst the Big Apple isn’t quite what he or Semmi expected, a job at the local fast food place brings Akeem closer to Lisa (Shari Headley), the beautiful girl he has a crush on.
Besides their main roles in this comedic fairy tale, Murphy and Hall are also transformed by make-up wizard Rick Baker (Michael Jackson’s Thriller) to play four smaller parts; a multi-character trademark that would continue throughout Murphy’s popular career in movies such as The Nutty Professor, Bowfinger and Norbit.
As part of the BFI Comedy Genius Tour
A tiny nymph found inside a bamboo stalk grows into a beautiful and desirable young woman, who orders her suitors to prove their love by completing a series of near-impossible tasks.
In 1982, Ingmar Bergman emerged with one of his most singularly acclaimed films - a work that dramatically broke away from much of the moody psychodrama that characterized such earlier motion pictures as Cries & Whispers and Hour of the Wolf. Entitled Fanny and Alexander, and originally intended as the director's "swan song," this epic plunges into the life of a theatrical family named the Ekdahls, in turn-of-the-century Sweden. Bergman filters life through the eyes of the two titular Ekdahl children (Pernilla Alwin and Bertil Guve), as they come of age, lose their father unexpectedly, and must contend with their mother's remarriage to an uncaring, dictatorial clergyman from whom there seems to be no escape. Instantly hailed as a masterpiece,
Casablanca: easy to enter, but much harder to leave, especially if you're wanted by the Nazis. Such a man is Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart in one of his most memorable roles), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one—especially Victor's wife, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart.
Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's transport out of the country and bitter Rick must decide what counts more—personal happiness or countless lives hanging in the balance.

A lifelong love of flight inspires Japanese aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi (Hideaki Anno), whose storied career includes the creation of the A6M World War II fighter plane.
Original Theatrical Date: August 6, 1993
OSCAR WINNER: Best Supporting Actor - Tommy Lee Jones
Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including "Best Picture," this 1993 box-office blockbuster is as compelling today as when it first stormed into theaters.
Harrison Ford and Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones race through this breathless manhunt movie based on the classic television series of the Sixties. Ford is prison escapee Dr. Richard Kimble, a Chicago surgeon falsely convicted of killing his wife and determined to prove his innocence by leading his pursuers to the one-armed man who actually committed the crime.
Jones, who also picked up the Golden Globe, is Sam Gerard, an unrelenting bloodhound of a U.S. Marshal. They are hunted and hunter. And as directed by Andrew Davis, their nonstop chase has one exhilarating speed: all-out.
So catch him if you can. And catch an 11-on-a-scale-of-10 train wreck (yes, the train is real), a plunge down a waterfall, a cat-and-mouse jaunt through a Chicago St. Patrick's Day parade and much more.
Better hurry. Dr. Richard Kimble doesn't stay in one place very long!

Featuring a Q&A w/ Lead Actor Robert Boerleider, Director/Actor Maximón Monihan, and Producer/Editor Sheena Matheiken
25 years ago, at a halfpipe contest somewhere in Europe, two of skateboarding’s biggest loudmouths first met. Now the glory days of youth are in their rearview mirror, with only the drudgery of adulthood on the road ahead. This pre-apocalyptic road movie documents the coast-to-coast journey of two washed-up skateboarders across present day USA.
Boerleider is a chocolate complected jokester from Amsterdam – imagine the love child of Dave Chappelle and Mr. Bean. He wants nothing more than to see America, a land of mythic proportions for this European. His buddy Monihan, the palest of pink skinned pro-skaters from America, once crowned Thrasher Magazine’s “Most Hated Skateboarder of All Time”, is much more cynical about his homeland. Hitch a ride on a deadpan counter-narrative to the current disheveled state of all things red, white, and blue, with a pair of consummate outsiders who disagree on almost everything, but are best friends nevertheless.
Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro), he meets the woman from his daydream (Kim Greist), and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.
Grocery store clerk Simon (Desmond Askew) occasionally sells drugs from his cash register at work, so when soap opera actors Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) come looking for Ecstasy on a quiet Christmas Eve, they are surprised to find Ronna (Sarah Polley) covering his shift. Desperate for money, Ronna decides to become an impromptu drug dealer, unaware that Adam and Zack are secretly working for obsessed narcotics officer Burke (William Fichtner).

As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie (Randy Quaid), and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark's employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs.
Nine intertwined stories examine the complexities of the one emotion that connects us all: love. Among the characters explored are David (Hugh Grant), the handsome newly elected British prime minister who falls for a young junior staffer (Martine McCutcheon), Sarah (Laura Linney), a graphic designer whose devotion to her mentally ill brother complicates her love life, and Harry (Alan Rickman), a married man tempted by his attractive new secretary.
Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan) are employees at Matuschek and Company, a general store in Budapest. Klara and Alfred are constantly at odds with each other, butting heads and disagreeing on almost everything. Both are enamored of their respective pen pals, who serve as welcome distractions in their lives. Little do they know, they are each the other's pen pal and, despite outward differences, have unwittingly fallen in love through their letters.
In this Christmas classic, an old man going by the name of Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day parade. Kringle proves to be such a hit that he is soon appearing regularly at the chain's main store in midtown Manhattan. When Kringle surprises customers and employees alike by claiming that he really is Santa Claus, it leads to a court case to determine his mental health and, more importantly, his authenticity.
