The Terminator is a sell out so Flashback films “will be back!”

IT'S been a busy summer for the Odeon, The Printworks with the new Batman film Dark Knight Rises still selling out prime time slots in the IMAX and now lots of love for the original classic film The Terminator, which sold out on a Monday night as part of the Flashback Film season.   Due the massive success the Flashback Film series are back again until December with even more cult films.   Who can forget films such as Rocky IV, Breakfast Club and who wouldn’t like to see Tom Cruise in his prime in Top Gun on the big screen?  And with Halloween coming up, some iconic scary movies will be showing such as The Exorcist and American Psycho. Of course there is something for everyone, even if you don’t like scary movies, Flashback will also be screening Ghostbuster, The Karate Kid and many more.

A real 'community' has begun to develop, with many cinema goers returning to more than one flashback showing. The majority of the screenings receive applause and sometimes a standing ovation at the end. Fans also seem to show more respect than in normal box office films too with disturbance by talking, use of mobile phones etc. at an all time low.  As Flashback is about bringing back the audiences favourite films they are welcome to suggests films they’d like to see at the Twitter account @FlashBackFans.

Tickets are just £4 and this season’s highlights include the classic Ghostbusters, the scary American Psycho, the iconic The Exorcist and if you don’t like scary movies then you can always come along and see a bit of Rocky IV or some hunks from Top Gun.

Centre Director for The Printworks Fred Booth explained that:- “The cinema has been having sell-out shows every Monday and having to show the flashback films in two screens at once due to such high demand for these legendary movies. Manchester is a city of cinema fans and the Flashback Film Season offers a little bit of something for everyone at such an affordable price.”
