Thanks to all that came down for ‘Moon’ earlier this month - what a great performance by Sam Rockwell, and Kevin Spacey as the voice of the computer was a great choice. So this month we’re making a revisit to a genre we’ve done before, but this time with a different decade. Get your hair pushed into curtains, your crop top t shirts and your stonewashed Levis back out of the cupboard for…90’s Teen Films!
Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead

You may have noticed a few changes around here recently. As of now we’re only going to be running Arty Farty Film Party once a month, on the first Wednesday of each, to be exact. But don’t worry - you can still get your semimonthly fix of film at An Outlet, with Eyebrow Cinema - An Outlet’s independent and world cinema club - which takes place on the third Wednesday of each month.
For June’s installment we’re giving you a second chance. To set the scene… You’ve missed it at the cinema, and your mate has it on DVD, but you’d really quite like to see it on a semi-big screen. What do you do? You come along to our… Films you missed at the cinema in 2009 party of course!
Moon
Just make sure that they’re available on DVD before you put them forward - we can’t watch them otherwise!

Thanks to all who came down for the St Paddy’s day party. We really enjoyed The Commitments, and we hope you did too!
After a few weeks off (thanks to there being 5 Wednesdays in March), we’re coming back with a cracking selection of celluloid classics to choose from. This chap is without doubt one of the seminal film makers of all time, the master of suspense, all thriller - no filler, the one and only Mr Alfred Hitchcock! Thanks to James A for the genre selection - great choice!

Hands up who forgot how good Goodfellas is? I haven’t seen it for years, and it’s just so well shot - that scene through the Copacabana is incredible!

Thanks to everyone that came down to watch the Governor and friends go for a rumble in the jungle.
This week we’re continuing the macho theme with New York settings, loners struggling with inner demons, pointed-shoes rock-meets-opera soundtracks and unrelenting cathartic violence. Yes that’s right, we’re celebrating the big daddy of celluloid… Martin Scorsese! I love every single one of the films in this poll, so I’m going to have a tough time choosing my favourite - hopefully you guys won’t though, get voting!

David Bowie in spandex - what a treat! Thanks to everyone who came down for Jim Henson’s classic ‘Labyrinth’, it was ace to see a childhood favourite on big(ish) screen instead of on a 14″ portable and VHS in my teddy bear-filled bedroom.
This week we’re going to be getting all macho, with the most butch, right-wing yet homo-erotic genre of all time… 1980’s action films! Arnie, Stallone, Van Damme, Bruce - they just don’t make em so buff these days! Choose your favourite hero and watch him triumph over machines/aliens/terrorists/criminals/otherscarythings - get voting!

Thank you to everyone that came down for last week’s Studio Ghibli night. We were over the moon to have had such a good atmosphere, and hope that will be the first of many successful Arty Farty Film Parties in 2010!
And now for a bit of an admin note. Up until now, Arty Farty Film Party has been a completely free event. From this party onward, we’re going to be asking our lovely audience to part with just a couple of pounds as a donation. This donation will ensure that we are able to keep Arty Farty Film Party in a venue, and can continue to bring you the films you love.
After a request from one of the audience last week, we’re going to go with something light-hearted and choreographically fantastic for the next event. You either love them or hate them (or have them as a secret guilty pleasure), yes we’re screening your choice of 1980’s musical films! The 80’s are an absolutely brilliant decade for musicals - and we don’t just mean West-End type productions. Apply the term more liberally “films with musical interludes” should do the trick. There are loads to pick from, so if you have a favourite that’s not on the poll list, just add it on.
Fame
Remember: with this poll you can vote for an existing film, as well as adding your own choice of film, and if you really think one of the other film suggestions is complete pap you can ‘bury’ it (which is like knocking one vote off). To cast your vote just click on the square to the right of the film title you want to vote for. Also - you can vote for every film if you care to, but only one vote per film. Just to help you out if you’re feeling torn!
The vote closes at 12pm, Friday 29th January.
:: Arty Farty Film Party #15
:: Wednesday 3rd February
:: An Outlet, Dale Street, Manchester
:: 7:00pm doors
:: £2 entry donation
We hope to see you there!
THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED - WE’LL BE SCREENING LABYRINTH, THANKS FOR VOTING!

We’re really excited about tonight’s film party, the first of 2010. It was a right old tussle of a poll, and in the end Howl’s Moving Castle emerged victorious!
Howl's Moving Castle
Howl’s Moving Castle (or Hauru no ugoku shirofor those of you whole speak Japanese) is about a young woman put under a curse by a witch, which sees her body transform into that of an old lady. Her only hope of reverting to her youthful self is Howl - a young wizard, who travels through time and kingdoms in his castle. Which naturally, has legs. It’s bizarre. It’s brilliant.
Doors are at 7pm, film at 7:30pm sharp at An Outlet on Dale Street. Remember there’s a very limited seating capacity (30) so make sure you get there on time to avoid disappointment.
There will be fine wine, and lovely bottled beers to purchase, as well as popcorn, nachos and penny sweets if you’re feeling peckish. And as always entrance is 100% free.
We hope to see you there!
