The programme:
Friday 23 August: Alien
In Tinside, no one can hear you scream! Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece is 40 years old this year so we thought we would celebrate with a special open air screening to remind ourselves of just how atmospheric and terrifying this still is. Sigourney Weaver set the gold standard for strong women on screen with her portrayal of Ripley, one of the crew members of the space ship Nostromo which accidentally picks up an uninvited guest when exploring a distant planet…
Saturday 24 August: Bohemian Rhapsody
The first of our two summer screenings of the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Mercury defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Their reunion, just in time for Live Aid, set the concert on fire and remains one of the most electric performances ever.
Sunday 25 August: The Birds
What better place to watch a terrifying film about killer birds than right on the waterfront, surrounded by seagulls who want to steal your pasties?! The Hitchcock classic begins as an innocuous romantic triangle involving Melanie, Mitch and Annie and culminates at the home of Mitch's mother at Bodega Bay, where the characters' sense of security is slowly eroded by the curious behaviour of the birds in the area. At first, it's no more than a sea gull swooping down and pecking at Melanie's head…but once the onslaught begins, there's virtually no letup.
