Rooftop Film Club - Wanna See a Rooftop Movie?

 

CINEMATIC SUNSETS ARE YOURS FOR THE TAKING! This weekend at Bussey, we're serving up high tension in the heights - get your scream on with Friday the 13th, pretend you're in Gotham during The Batman or indulge in the latest Scream film. Over at Roof East, we're keeping it a lil' bit lighter but still tugging at those heartstrings with love-it-or-hate-it musical Across the Universe, romantic classic The Notebook and Disney fave (and Tik Tok smash hit) Encanto.  This week, we highlight some unmissable coming-of-age films in our Staff Picks section... read on!   WHAT'S ON AT ROOF EAST  WHAT'S ON AT BUSSEY

RISKY BUSINESS 29 MAY BUSSEY BUILDING "A SHARP SATIRE ON AMERICAN GO-GETTING." ★★★★ RADIO TIMES WHAT'S THE DEAL? After his parents leave on vacation, Joel Goodsen (Cruise) and his bestie Miles cut loose and attempt to enlist the services of a prostitute for a night of delight.  After a series of setbacks & unexpected expenditures, an increasingly desperate Joel turns the house into a brothel...  WHY SHOULD I SEE IT? This 1983 movie catapulted a young Tom Cruise into superstardom & we're sure his iconic shorts & socks dance has inspired millions to do the same!  BOOK TICKETS

DONNIE DARKO 26 MAY BUSSEY BUILDING "DONNIE DARKO RIGHTLY MADE A STAR OF GYLLENHAAL." ★★★★★ THE IRISH TIMES "A MINI MASTER-PIECE... CULT GLORY BECKONS." ★★★★ EMPIRE MAGAZINE WHAT'S THE DEAL? In 1988, a teenager named Donnie Darko sleepwalks out of his house & befriends a human-sized demonic-looking rabbit named Frank, who predicts the apocalypse is due in 28 days. As if things weren't weird enough, Darko finds a jet engine has crashed into his bedroom upon returning home.  Is Donnie living in a parallel universe, is he suffering from mental illness - or will the world really end? WHY SHOULD I SEE IT? We're pretty sure nobody knows what's going on in this movie (please tell us if you do), but it's incredibly 90s atmosphere, one-of-a-kind mind-bending storyline, and young Jake Gyllenhaal make this cult classic one you should definitely have in your arsenal.  BOOK TICKETS
