Savoy Cinema and The Loft Movie Theatre – as part of the Films on Film Series – proudly present a one-night special 35mm screening of Martin Scorsese’s classic crime drama, Goodfellas.

As a poor Irish-Italian growing up in 1950s New York City, Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) finds himself drawn into the seductive world of organised crime. Rising through the ranks of the Mafia alongside seasoned boss Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and volatile associate Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), Henry’s pursuit of power, money and influence carries him from the gritty streets of Brooklyn into the dizzying highs and devastating lows of life as a wiseguy - until betrayal and law enforcement force him to confront the fallout of a life lived on the edge.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential crime films ever made, Goodfellas sees Scorsese at the height of his craft. With razor-sharp editing, a propulsive rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack, powerhouse performances and some very dark humour, this visceral, stylish journey into the glamour and brutality of mob life is not to be missed on the big screen – for one night only in beautiful 35mm celluloid!

In tribute to the photographic and pictorial art of COIL’s founding members Peter Christopherson (1955–2010) and John Balance (1962–2004), Timeless Editions have restored the duo’s filmed archives to reveal a first-rate cinematic body of work. Incorporating medical art, homoerotic performances and body horror, these short 8mm and 16mm films are rooted in the aesthetic of England’s industrial scene of the post-punk era. At the intersections of Eros and Thanatos, these images assembled into a raw, hallucinatory and immersive film evoke Georges Bataille, J.G. Ballard, Jean Genet, Derek Jarman and the Viennese Actionists. Accompanied by previously unreleased COIL compositions, A Way to Die is a unique document: sensual, disturbing, and profoundly haunted.

The macho students of an elite US Flying school for advanced fighter pilots compete to be best in the class, and one romances the teacher.

Includes in person Q&A with director Sharon Sheehan.

The film reveals the life, plight and loves of Mary Anning, 1800s preeminent Dorset fossil hunter – navigating her career and research in a patriarchal society at a time when women’s research was largely unrecognised or plagiarised.

She is at last becoming the most celebrated paleontologist of all time!

The Q & A will cover any audience questions and detail the inspiration and research for writing Mary Annings' story. It will also delve into womens rights of the 1800s, compared to the present day and will cover the casting of actors and film making techniques, locations, sets, props, plus film distribution.

In a near-future America, the war on drugs is lost and whole communities have been left ravaged by the effects of a highly addictive hallucinogenic compound called Substance D.

Narcotics agent Fred, posing undercover as a junkie named Bob Arctor, tries to infiltrate the supply chain of a local dealer network with the aim of making a major bust.

After Fred is bizarrely assigned to monitor his own alias, along with fellow addicts Luckman and Barris, the boundary between his two identities fractures and he begins to lose himself down a rabbit-hole of paranoia, deception, addiction and madness.

Based on the hit Sci-Fi novel by Philip K Dick, A Scanner Darkly uses rotoscope animation techniques (digital tracing over the top of live action footage) to perfectly capture the book’s uncanny, dystopian view of a damaged society.

Boo The Bad Guy presents a huge BAD MOVIE NIGHT with potentially the BEST WORST MOVIE of all time... Troll 2 (1990)

Expect an interactive screening with a fancy dress competition plus lots of fun and games. Before the film you'll be treated to an exclusive viewing of the two Zoom calls that Will (aka Boo The Bad Guy) had with the stars - George Hardy (Michael Waits) and Darren Ewing (Arnold - the "Oh my gooooddddd" guy!)

Troll 2 (1990) is famously terrible - but that’s exactly why it’s so beloved as a “so bad it’s good” cult classic. The movie’s baffling plot about a family vacationing in a town overrun by vegetarian goblins who want to turn them into plants is riddled with awkward dialogue, strange acting, and nonsensical scenes that defy logic at every turn. The production’s evident language barriers and low budget add to the charm of its unintentional hilarity. What truly makes Troll 2 unforgettable is its earnestness despite all its flaws. From the unintentionally hilarious performances to infamous lines that fans endlessly quote, the movie captivates viewers with its sheer absurdity. It’s a cinematic train wreck you can’t look away from—equal parts baffling, creepy, and surprisingly endearing. If you love movies that are wildly entertaining because they’re so bafflingly bad, Troll 2 is a must-watch. It’s earned its place as one of the most popular “worst movies ever made” and continues to attract fans who adore it for its curious blend of horror, kitsch, and comedy gone wonderfully wrong. - Rotten Tomatoes

Savoy Cinema and The Loft Movie Theatre are proud to present a special screening of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, the classic 1960 adaptation of Alan Sillitoe’s ground-breaking novel.

Set and filmed in Nottingham, the film follows Raleigh factory worker Arthur Seaton (Albert Finney in his breakout role) through a whirlwind of work, rebellion, and weekend excess in post-war Britain.

A cornerstone of British New Wave cinema, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning is a defining example of "kitchen sink" drama; gritty, unsentimental, and rooted in working-class life - a world away from the gloss of contemporary Hollywood. A Nottingham native himself, Sillitoe drew directly on his own experiences growing up in the city - his father worked at the Raleigh factory that forms the backdrop to the story.

Quintessentially Nottingham, it captures the city in a very different era - yet one that remains unmistakably familiar at its core. Featuring scenes shot at Goose Fair, across Radford and Lenton, and even inside the Savoy Cinema itself, it offers a rare glimpse into the city’s cinematic past.

Join us for a unique chance to experience this film exactly where part of it was made - and to walk the very stairs you’ll glimpse on the big screen.
