Win Golden Age Cinema Passes Thanks to Appleton Estate
Here's the best way to indulge in a little late-deco nostalgia and a cracking film.
Before summer makes a run for it, we’re handing out five double passes to the Golden Age Cinema. Gratis.
There are two main reasons why we’re itching to send you to the movies. The first is that the Golden Age’s February program is promising an even tastier cult feast than usual. The second is that, in cahoots with Appleton Estate, the cinema has cooked up some film-inspired cocktails tempting enough to drag James Bond away from his martini.
On Saturday, February 21, a New York Heatwave will sweep in for the weekend. Catch Marilyn Monroe’s ukulele skills in one of the best American comedies ever, Some Like It Hot; check Alfred Hitchcock at his most brilliant in Rear Window; and hang out with ‘70s gangsters in The Warriors. Sink into those Paramount heritage chairs with a Rum Runner Highball: Appleton Estate VX rum, honey and ginger water, topped up with fizzy ginger beer.
Then, from Tuesday, 24 February, it’ll be all about birds; the occasion, of course, being the release of Birdman. Find out how humans come out against wings in Hitchcock’s The Birds, see Brandon Lee at his most vengeful in The Crow, and on February 28, lose all touch with reality in a double-bill made up of Birdman and Tim Burton’s 1989 technicolour Batman. Get your drinking in on the theme with a Jungle Bird or a Jack Sparrow (that’s a Mai Tai, Appleton Estate-style).
