Time: 7.30 pm

Saturday January 10 – Harold and Maude
Harold is a young man obsessed by death; he stages elaborate fake suicides, attends funerals (usually for people that he does not know), and drives a hearse, much to the despair of his wealthy socialite mother. Harold meets 79-year-old Maude, while at a random stranger's funeral, and discovers that they share a hobby. Harold is entranced by Maude's quirky outlook on life, which is bright and delightfully carefree. Maude and Harold become friends and she teaches him how to make the most of his time on earth. This film will charm your socks off. Starring Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort. (1971, certificate 12, 1h 28’).
Saturday 7 February – Man on Wire
On August 7 1974, a young Frenchman stepped out on a wire suspended between New York's twin towers, then the world’s tallest buildings. After an hour dancing on the wire, with no safety net or harness, he was arrested and thrown into jail. Until that moment no one but himself and his team of accomplices, knew anything about it. This heart-stopping documentary, directed by James Marsh, tells the story of how the stunt was planned and how New York’s police service responded (2008, certificate 12, 1 hour 35’)

Amble Film Society: One Battle After Another
Time: 7pm start
Location: Dovecote Centre NE65 0DX
One Battle After Another is a 2025 American black comedy action-thriller film produced, written, and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. It is inspired by the 1990 novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon. The film's ensemble cast is led by Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn & Benicio del Toro.
Date: Friday 27 March
Doors: 6:30pm
Talk: 7:00pm
Screen: 7:10pm
Cert: 15
Run Time: 162 mins
In One Battle After Another is loosely based on Thomas Pynchon's novel 'Vineland,' about a washed-up revolutionary (Leonardo DiCaprio) forced to confront his past and fight a dangerous white supremacist nemesis (Sean Penn) after his daughter goes missing, blending counter-culture themes, political commentary on radicalism and authority, and a central father-daughter relationship.
I am still working on the film to show in April, as usual suggestions are welcome.
As a reminder, we will ask you to make a suggested donation (initially £5.00, you can donate more if you wish) on the door. Cash only until we get a replacement card reader. The bar also is by suggested donation, cash only.
