The nineteenth party…

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

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!

The Birds

Moon

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 2nd April

We hope to see you there!

What a dump. When I think of castles, it’s not what I picture.

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

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!

Fargo

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!

The fourteenth party…

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

A happy new year to one and all! We hope you’ve had a lovely festive season, and that you’re as ready and raring to get back into Arty Farty Film Party for 2010 as we are.

For our 14th party we’re taking a trip to Japan to experience the imagination, brilliance and at times the down right bizarreness of Studio Ghibli. I remember the first of their films that I ever watched - Spirited Away - I’d never seen anything like it before, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it in the animated world since. They are truly breathtaking films, visually stunning with beautifully crafted stories. I’m not going to lie, we’re excited about this one!
