Tyneside Cinema are throwing down the gauntlet to the most diehard of cinema fans with this one! Over Saturday 21 – Sunday 22 May they're showing 25 hours of film in each of our 3 screens, and they want you to Come And See them for 75p a ticket!

There are so many amazing film been shown over this weekend, not all of them nessacery come under the banner of cult film, but I thought there might enough to interest members here that it was worth giving this event its own thread.

Be honest non-Newcastle peeps, how jealous are you? How awesome does this look?

Currently got a friend sorting out tickets for:

Battle Royale
Peeping Tom
Faster Pussycat Kill Kill
The Godfather

Maybe King Kong too!

I love the Tyneside Cinema and am glad their screenings are getting coverage on this forum, it's an absolutely fantastic cinema. It's a shame the 75 hours worth of films is happening over 3 or 4 screens so you have to pick and choose but even so it'll be a great Saturday night.


edit: just as I submitted this I got a text confirming that we have tickets. No King Kong as there's not enough time between Peeping Tom and Faster Pussycat. Can't wait!

Got back about 3 and a half hours ago from this, having been there since about 8 o'clock last night. Needless to say, I'm incredibly tired Ended up seeing

Battle Royale
Peeping Tom
Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!
Cat People (1942)
The Wizard of Oz

I had to leave when the flying monkeys made an appearance as I was feeling so over-caffeinated and ill but it was such a good night, especially for 75p a ticket! I'm going back later tonight to see The Godfather as well.

Oh, they had a big stack of the Arrow Video catalogue at the box office which was pretty cool.
