Wheel of Fortune: Anti-Valentine’s Day Classic18

Bad romances, sleazy noirs, kinky killers, and (un)erotic extravaganzas. This year, for our (anti-) Valentine’s Day classic screening, we’re leaving it all up to chance. On Wednesday 14th February, we will be screening one of five films chosen on the night by the spin of our Wheel of Fortune!

Which films feature on the wheel? We’ve selected five classics which all take a sideways look at love, lust, and longing, including: Paul Thomas Anderson’s stylish rom-com Punch-Drunk Love (2002); Brian De Palma’s Hitchcockian neo-noir Body Double (1984); Ben Wheatley’s murderous road-trip romance Sightseers (2012); Jonathan Demme’s kinky comedy thriller Something Wild (1986); and – last but definitely not least – Paul Verhoeven’s notorious so-bad-its-good (but, actually, unapologetically great) Showgirls (1995).

There will also be a chance for audiences members to win free drinks and other prizes as we invite you to take a spin on the wheel.

Sorry - you missed it!

We showed Wheel of Fortune: Anti-Valentine’s Day Classic between February 14, 2024 and February 14, 2024.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
