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

Remember: 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 POLL IS NOW CLOSED - THE WINNER IS CALIFORNIA MAN!

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!

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED - ‘MOON’ WINS IT, SEE YOU THERE!

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!

So next Wednesday it’s St Patrick’s day, and in honour of the emerald isle and all things green we’re asking you to pick your favourite film starring… an Irish actor as a main character! It’s quite a mixed a bag of films and these are just the ones that we could think of - so get your thinking caps on and add some more!

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED! THE WINNING FILM WAS ‘THE COMMITMENTS’ WHICH WE’LL BE SCREENING NEXT WEDS FOR ST PATRICKS DAY - SEE YOU THERE!

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!

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

Hi there guys, thanks to you who came down last week and got yourself a sparkler in the interval. Serpico, good film worth watching if only to see Al Pacino in flares and a V neck! Not his best look.

Next week at the 12th Arty Farty were going to be celebrating the coolest bro’s on the block in our Coen Brothers evening . It will be a tough job we know, how to choose just one film out of all the gems they have produced over the years?

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED AND THE WINNER IS… FARGO!

Thanks to everyone who came down to our super-scary Halloween party. I for one loved seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street on a big(ish) screen, and even though I’m a ‘grown up’ now, it still scared the pants off me like it did when I was 13! We hope you liked the pumpkins and the creepy music too!

Next Wednesday is our 11th party, and as it falls the night before bonfire night we thought we’d pay homage to Mr Fawkes by screening your choice of 1970’s conspiracy film! The 70’s was an absolutely cracking decade for conspiracies - and we can’t think of a more fitting decade (Watergate anyone…?) to showcase political scandal at it’s height!

Well can you believe it - it’s our tenth party! It seems like only yesterday you were watching Ferris Bueller’s day off while we were panicking about the skipping DVD. Ah memories!

So yes back to the tenth party. Given it’s coming up to the end of October and all, we thought we’d throw a Halloween themed Arty Farty Film Party! We’ve gone for a classic genre spread across two decades, so get ready to scare yourself silly with your choice of 70’s / 80’s Slasher Horror!

Were storming back in with an emotional line up for the ninth party, we want you guys to vote for your top most titillating 00’s Sports Dramas. I can’t be bothered to get off my bum in the cold so lets watch some other guys get physical!

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED - THE WRESTLER HAS WON!

Hello folks - thanks to you guys who braved the weather and managed to made it down to Groundhog Day last week. Hooray for Bill Murray… and even Andie McDowell who wasn’t quite as annoying as usual.

For the eighth party we’re stepping things up a notch and taking a trip into the future. For the eight Arty Farty Film Party we’d like you to vote for your favourite… 80’s vision of the future! All that spandex and those shoddy stage sets really capture a future I’d like to be a part of.

Now we will be doing a party dedicated to 80’s sci-fi in the not to distant future so don’t worry about having to stick all your Star Wars and other 80’s space films in this genre… they will get their day!

I want to see all those films that predict how our lovely earth will supposedly be altered… well, by now in a lot of cases! Golly didn’t the year 2000 seem awfully exciting back then…
