WHEN Arnie uttered the immortal words ‘I’ll be back’, little did he realise it meant the film returning to the big screen.
But Showcase Cinemas has indeed brought his famous Terminator character back, along with a host of other much-loved movies for a short season of old favourites.
The season starts on Friday, November 11, with a screening of Pretty Woman, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
The hit rom-com centres around Hollywood prostitute Vivian and her developing relationship with wealthy businessman, Edward Lewis.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day is shown on Saturday, November 12, and again the following day.
Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the Terminator in film set just seven years from now. Earth has become a wasteland decimated by the war between artificial intelligence and the human resistance.
On Friday, November 18, it is the turn of Academy Award nominated comedy Bridesmaids.
Hitting cinemas back in 2011, the star-studded cast, featuring Kristen Wiig in the lead role, tells the story of Annie as she suffers a series of hilariously unfortunate events after being asked to serve as the maid of honour at her best friend’s wedding.
And a month before the big day, it’s time to get in the Christmas spirit as festive rom-com Love Actually returns to the big screen on Friday, November 25.
There are 10 different stories of love through the eyes of screen legends Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson and others, as the tales intertwine in the lead up to Christmas Day.
And the final film in the season is the sing-a-long Abba inspired hit Mamma Mia!
This will appear on Friday, December 2, and needs little introduction.
An ensemble cast join up in Greece as wife-to-be Amanda Seyfried invites three men (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard) to her upcoming wedding on a search for her father.
Mark Barlow, UK general manager for Showcase Cinemas, said: “Our Flashback Film screenings have proven to be a huge hit in our cinemas as guests may have only seen some of cinema’s most beloved films at home, so we’re bringing even more classics back to the big screen.
“Whether you’re in the mood for a feel-good musical or a classic rom-com, films such as Pretty Woman and Mamma Mia! were meant to be enjoyed in the comfort of the cinema. We can’t wait to see our guests watch these classics in all their original big-screen glory.”
