Did you think we forgot Xmas?? We’ve chosen 3 absolute classics for the festive season.

First up on Thursday the 19th it’s Planes Trains and Automobiles. Technically this is a thanksgiving film but we had to have it. Regarded as one of the best 80’s comedies and featuring hilarious and poignant performances by Steve Martin and the GOAT John Candy, if you’ve never seen this now is the time.

On Friday the 20th everyone’s favourite Love Actually will have you holding hands and whispering sweet nothings (and swooning over Hugh Grant).

Saturday the only choice, the greatest Xmas movie of all time (yes it IS a Xmas movie!) the original and the best Die Hard will be kicking off your Xmas like nothing else!!

We will have a revolving range of treats available over these 3 nights. Stay tuned for special announcements.

THEY LIVE
The John Carpenter cult classic about Aliens taking over the planet and the one man who can see the truth is really a scathing take on Reagan era American society, and still holds up as a great piece of social commentary whilst also being an absolute killer movie.
Nada (Roddy Piper), a wanderer without meaning in his life, discovers a pair of sunglasses capable of showing the world the way it truly is. As he walks the streets of Los Angeles, Nada notices that both the media and the government are comprised of subliminal messages meant to keep the population subdued, and that most of the social elite are skull-faced aliens bent on world domination. With this shocking discovery, Nada fights to free humanity from the mind-controlling aliens.

Office Space
In our opinion one of the funniest movies ever.

Corporate drone Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) hates his soul-killing job at software company Initech. While undergoing hypnotherapy, Peter is left in a blissful state when his therapist dies in the middle of their session. He refuses to work overtime, plays games at his desk and unintentionally charms two consultants into putting him on the management fast-track. When Peter’s friends learn they’re about to be downsized, they hatch a revenge plot against the company inspired by “Superman III.”

New in stock! The perfect accompaniment to Cam’s toasties, Yuzu flavour Strangelove low-calorie soda!

Yuzu – a hybrid citrus grown in cool, mountainous regions of Japan – embodies all the best parts of lemon, grapefruit and mandarin. It’s complex, nuanced, tart, sweet and refreshing.

Subway (1985)

One of Cam’s favourite films;

Part of the 80’s and 90’s French film movement ‘Cinéma du look’, Subway favours style over substance, director Luc Besson creates an alternative universe in the underground catacombs of the Paris Metro subway system, a stylish, dark world full of mysterious (and some hilarious) characters, the deliberatley thin plot only adds to the enjoyment and the viewers ability to become fully immersed in this self contained world, with Christoph Lambert and Isabelle Adjani’s performances lifting the film emotionally, while the supporting cast add drama and comedy, (the great Jean Reno is brilliant fun as ‘the drummer’) and as usual with Luc Besson films, composer and bass player Eric Serra (who plays a composer and bass player in the film) brings a distinctly 80’s and decidely french soundtrack that adds even more feel to this alterna-world.
Subway is a smart and fun ride into a fantasy world that could be real…

Pintxos will be available at the bar from 6pm!
