The seventeenth party…

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

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!

Raging Bull

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 12 midnight, Sunday 28th February.

:: Arty Farty Film Party #17
:: Wednesday 3rd March
:: An Outlet, Dale Street, Manchester
:: 7:00pm doors
:: £2 entry donation

We hope to see you there!

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED - THE WINNER IS GOODFELLAS! SEE YOU WEDNESDAY!

The sixteenth party…

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

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!

Predator
