Some
of the greatest films ever made are only seen on the small screen
today. Television is now the home to many classics that have influenced
many modern filmmakers. But what was it like to watch those top
films on the big screen?
One film fan has managed to bring the classics to the Odeon at the
Festival Park in Stoke-on-Trent. This is a rare chance to watch
memorable films in their full glory on the big screen with the atmosphere
of an audience around you.
Student Screen
Student Screen is dedicated to showing classic films late every
Saturday night. It's an opportunity to see movies from a bygone
era that people growing up in the 70s, 80s and 90s may have been
too young to appreciate on a big screen before. It also a chance
for those fortunate enough to have seen them the first time around
to revisit fond childhood memories.
Don't be misled by the name, this isn't just for students. Anyone
who wants to see these films is welcome. It's called Student
Screen because the showing offers everyone the benefits of student
prices and offers - all tickets are charged at the reduced price
of £3.90.
