The Picture House Brochure No 31

WELCOME

At last, a new brochure! Welcome to the spring edition, with all sorts of shenanigans going on. It’s been a successful winter and now the evenings are drawing out there’s a lot to enjoy in the coming weeks. Not least a whole bunch of classic films in The Lounge, including Ridley Scott’s seminal 1979 Alien, the Coen brothers brilliant 1998 comedy The Big Lebowski which gives Withnail & I a run for its money as one of the most quotable films ever made.

There are two very British films, Quadrophenia, also from 1979, starring an alarmingly young cast of now very familiar British faces. Look out for Brighton seafront, of course. Ken Russell’s 1975 film Tommy, which is also based on a The Who concept album, has a scene shot in Brighton. The amazing Pinball Wizard sequence was filmed inside The Dome and the story goes that Elton John so loved the giant Doc Marten’s he wears that he insisted on keeping them. Ken Russell was a real innovator and this film pretty much invented the modern music video. A brilliant chance to see it in the cinema, honestly, don’t miss it.

We’re also showing the BEST super hero movie ever in glorious 4K, the 1979 Superman, with Christopher Reeve, which I’m particularly pleased about. A superb mix of adventure and humour.

We’ve got a bunch of events at the restaurant coming up that look like fun, Easter Sunday music and a special Coronation cream tea.

I wanted to mention our pre-ordering service that some of you might not be aware of. In the email we send you, and the subsequent text a couple of hours before the show, if you click on the link for your tickets you can also pre-order your food and drink. If you have Lounge tickets we can deliver to your seat when you arrive. Our membership continues to grow and grow, and we are so pleased. If you aren’t a member and you come to the cinema, you should definitely consider it, it really is cost effective.

As usual the team work very hard to make this the best cinema and restaurant experience we can, but we couldn’t do it without your support, and for that we all thank you.
