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

:: Arty Farty Film Party #19 - Alfred Hitchcock
:: Wednesday 7th April
:: An Outlet, Dale Street, Manchester
:: 7:00pm doors

Enjoy An Outlet’s fine wines, great range of bottled beers, popcorn, nachos and penny sweets.

We hope to see you there!

THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED - WE WILL BE SCREENING NORTH BY NORTHWEST, SEE YOU THERE!

This could work out real good for me and Jean and Scotty.

Thanks to everyone who came down to our bonfire night special for Serpico. We hope you enjoyed your sparklers!

Last week’s poll was a 2 horse race, and I think we had an all time record for number of votes placed (into the 70’s!). But we’re happy to announce that the winner (by a single vote) is Fargo!

Fargo

Fargo

After several requests we decided to have a Coen brothers’ night, and Fargo really is the marmite of their repertoire. It won 2 Oscars and has a storming cast including William H. Macy, Frances McDormand and the legendary Steve Buscemi - so come down tomorrow, Weds 18th November - and make your own mind up if you haven’t already seen it!

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 £6 bottles of red and white wine available to purchase, as well as a range of lovely bottled beers, popcorn, nachos and penny sweets. And as always entrance is 100% free.

We hope to see you there!

You know what they say, don’t you? If you love a man’s garden, you gotta love the man!

So there was a pretty even spread of votes this time, and the winner by a single vote is Serpico!

The Wrestler

Serpico

A year after her made his mark on the big screen with The Godfather, Al Pacino returned with a gritty portrayal of an honest NY cop being turned against by his corrupt peers. Pacino’s acting is smooooooooth and it’s directed by the legendary Sidney Lumet, a winning combo you really shouldn’t miss.

Come on down to our pre-bonfire night Arty Farty Film Party this Weds 4th November to celebrate the failure of the gunpowder plot. We’re also going to have a sparkler party in the interval, so make sure you bring a pair of gloves with you!
