Glossop Cinema Club

Synopsis

Filled with quotable lines, stunning iconography, terrifying practical effects, relentless alien carnage, and a surprising amount of heart... James Cameron's Aliens is the sequel that nobody thought he could pull off, taking Ridley Scott's claustrophobic horror classic and twisting it into a war movie in space!

Even more incredibly - though less so if you've seen the film - Sigourney Weaver was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her return as Ellen Ripley, delivering a powerhouse performance that helped the film defy the odds and bag a rare acting nod for a sci-fi / action / horror movie!

One of the highest grossing films of 1986, now regarded as a classic of 80s cinema, and cemented James Cameron as one of the greatest directors of all time.

We're screening this masterpiece for its 40th anniversary, so strap on your power loader and join us upstairs at The Globe, Glossop!

See you at the movies!

Synopsis

This revolutionary DIY parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming-of-age story follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian by joining the cast of UCB Live - a government-sanctioned late night sketch show in a world where comedy has been outlawed.

As mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with a ragtag team of rejects, misfits, and a certain love interest named Mister J, "Joker the Harlequin" is born again as a confident (and psychotic) joker on a collision course with the city's fascist caped crusader.

Vats of feminizing chemicals, sexy cartoon interludes, scarecrow psychiatrists, CGI Lorne Michaels, and psychedelic gender dysphoria all play supporting roles.

Helmed by writer/director/editor/star Vera Drew and using her own life experiences as a basis for the film, THE PEOPLE'S JOKER is a deeply personal journey that's as much documentary as it is parody.

Winkingly called "the best superhero movie I've ever seen" by The New Yorker, and also a "a blasphemous Molotov cocktail of a movie" by Polygon, this is a truly unique and contemporary riff on superheroes, as well as a poignant coming-of-age story, but also pretty darn hilarious too!

See you at the movies!

Synopsis

Joe Dante's Christmas-set comedy horror classic is this year's alternative festive film from Glossop Cinema Club!

From producer Steven Spielberg and writer Christopher Columbus (Home Alone/The Goonies) comes this iconic tale of those adorable little mogwai and the horrible little creatures they become if you break the rules!

Gleefully tearing about the holiday season with cartoonish comedy and surprisingly effective moments of horror, this is quite rightly a seasonal favourite, and a perfect precursor to your own - hopefully cosier - yuletide break.

See you at the movies!

Gremlins (1984): Glossop Cinema Club Christmas Screening, The Globe, 144 High Street West, Glossop, SK13 8PN

Synopsis

Christian Bale, Ewan McGregor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Toni Collette, and Eddie Izzard lead this hyper stylish musical spectacular from Todd Haynes (I'm Not There) exploring the impact and legacy of glam rock.

Loosely inspired by the life of David Bowie, and his meeting with Iggy Pop, here we have folk troubadour Brian Slade (Meyers) transforming into the intergalatic superstar character Maxwell Demon, and falling for the punk appeal of Curt Wilde (McGregor), all wrapped around in a "where are they now" detective story as Christian Bale's journalist tries to piece together the mystery of Brian Slade whilst revisiting the only lingering questions of his youth as one of the era's biggest fans.

Synopsis

Real-life (at the time) couple Jeff Goldbum and Geena Davis lead David Cronenberg's incredible reimagining of the 1950s B-horror The Fly, transforming both its star and the original film into something wholly iconic and unforgettable!

When brilliant scientist Seth Brundle (Goldblum) invites reporter Ronnie (Davis) to his lab she's expecting the usual smoke and mirrors, but what Brundle has created has the potential to change the world.

Unfortunately, following a slight mishap involving a rogue presence in his invention (the titular fly), things begin to fall apart... And by things I mean Seth Brundle.

Synopsis

Winner of the Alexander Korda award for Best British Film at the 2007 BAFTAs, and Best Film at the 2006 British Independent Film Awards, Shane Meadows' deeply personal and hugely important film is a story of England in the early 1980s, and a troubled young boy (Thomas Turgoose) drawn into the world of a charismatic English nationalist (Stephen Graham).

A box office hit upon release, the film had three spin-off series broadcast on Channel 4, but it is the feature film that retains its power and legacy as it looks back - but also forwards - at what England was and what it could become.

Filmed in the East Midlands, with the usual intimate and almost docu-real feel of Meadows' directorial eye, enlivened by an impeccable ensemble including Jo Hartley (Adolescence), Perry Benson (Benidorm), and Jack O'Connell (Sinners), and a perfectly picked score of contemporary songs.

We're very pleased to present this film for its 20th anniversary.

Synopsis

Cited by Quentin Tarantino as featuring the "greatest stunts ever filmed in any movie ever", Supercop is a truly spectacular thrill-ride starring Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh, often in action sequences that genuinely put their lives at risk!

Inspector Ka-Kui (Chan) is teamed up with Interpol director Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh) to bring down a drug lord known as Chaibat (Kenneth Tsang), along the way there's martial arts battles, farcical comedy, and mind-blowing set-pieces.
