The lost films of 2021...
Thanks to our too friendly Coronvirus, four of our programmed films went unscreened for the second year in a row. Now, we like these movies, all of them, and are planning something special by way of a Sunday afternoon double feature, in a secret location. This location is very local, sure to surprise and may even bring back memories for some. In case you have forgotten any of the missed movies, all four have been included below, and just like an old black & white silent they are hanging on by a whisker waiting for a heroine (or hero) to grab their hand at the very last minute... saving them just for us! Details TBA.
Date & Time TBA
DR STRANGELOVE (UK, 1964, 95min, B&W) Rated - PG - Parental guidance required.
