Vintage Centro 2016

Overview

As far as blasts from the pasts go, trawling through cinema greats from years gone by has to be one of the most enjoyable. Who doesn't want to travel back in time movie by movie — sometimes discovering classic features you've always meant to see but hadn't yet, sometimes revisiting tried and trusted favourites.

The Vintage Centro 2016 program offers all that, of course, as screened in themed monthly blocks between May and October. Fancy a dose of music and the movies to get things started? Or a trip to space, a look at great on-screen couples, the best of the '80s and a few memorable send-ups? Well, that's exactly what's in store at what may as well be a mini film festival in weekly instalments.

In fact, with everything from the King's Elvis: That's the Way It Is to Mel Brooks' Hitchcock parody High Anxiety on the lineup — and the likes of musical wonder Singin' in the Rain, age-old classic The Wizard of Oz, David Lynch's sci-fi epic Dune, animated delight The Iron Giant, Bruce Lee's frenetic marital arts showcase Enter the Dragon and the original The Nutty Professor as well — film fans are in for a whole heap of retro cinema fun. As with any great movie selection, that leaves cinephiles with an obvious question. No, it's not "what should I see?", but "what can I live with missing?"
