6 films you can't miss in the first week of Screen on the Green
NE1's famous free summer movie screenings return on Monday, and this time we're showing more movies and over a longer duration! You can find the full schedule here, but we thought we'd help and pick out our unmissable highlights from the first week of screenings!
So plan your week around these timings, these films are ones you need to see...here's hoping it stays sunny!
Kung Fu Panda 3 - Monday 12pm
Fresh from the cinema, the latest in this hugely popular series starts the schedule with a bang, grab the little ones and secure a deckchair for the best of Jack Black and a slice of Panda action!
The Martian - Tuesday 6pm
Another recent blockbuster, and Oscar contender, Matt Damon shines as an astronaut left behind on the red planet, using his wits and spirit to find a way to survive!
I am Ali - Wednesday 6pm
With the recent passing of the self-proclaimed 'Greatest', this documentary takes on further significance and offers a fascinating insight behind-the-scenes with the man himself. Including material he himself shot, as well as insights from friends and family, this one is a must for sports fans in particular.
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland - Friday 12pm
Always a master of the strange and surreal, it was a match made in heaven when Tim Burton decided to remake the classic children's novel, and he certainly put his own stamp on it. With stunning visuals, and some Burton favourites present in Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, this is more fun than an afternoon with the Mad Hatter!
Roman Holiday - Saturday 12pm
One for the classics fans, this wonderful and heart-warming story features two of the finest actors of their generation in Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. She's a Princess, he's a Reporter and, well, you know where it goes. A wonderful way to wile away a summer afternoon.
The Dark Knight - Sunday 2pm
An instant classic on release, part of our Superhero Sunday includes the second film in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, featuring virtuoso performances from Christian Bale, and most noticeably Heath Ledger, who sadly passed away prior to release. It's dark and intense but worth it all, a modern masterpiece.
