Why not come and see David Lean's film Lawrence Of Arabia One of our many current highlights. With a cast including Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn.
Due to his knowledge of the native Bedouin tribes, British Lieutenant T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) is sent to Arabia to find Prince Faisal (Alec Guinness) and serve as a liaison between the Arabs and the British in their fight against the Turks. With the aid of native Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif), Lawrence rebels against the orders of his superior officer and strikes out on a daring camel journey across the harsh desert to attack a well-guarded Turkish port.
All Movie Marathons
Want to know what fun Movie Marathons are on at the PCC? Then this is the place to be. Cult, horror, themed, film franchises - we do them all & we do them well. So keep an eye on this page to know the latest on the butt-numbing marathons at the Prince Charles Cinema.
To help things run smoother on the night of a marathon, please heed these words:
- NO ADMITTANCE after midnight.This is for safety reasons and to ensure that there are no chancers from outside the cinema creeping in.
- DO NOT USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO HIGHLIGHT ISSUES. Wether there"s a technical problem; you"re too hot/cold; or another customer is being disrespectful to you or those around you, PLEASE inform the ushers/management. The people who deal with social media will more than likely be at home, asleep, and your complaints will go unnoticed until its too late. This leads on to...
-NO PHONES It may be an all-night marathon, but we will be acting as though it"s a regular daytime screening. Phones are annoying, please turn them off and refrain from using them.
-THREE STRIKES. If our ushers have to speak to you three times, or customers complain about you three times, you will be ejected from the cinema with NO REFUNDS and NO SYMPATHY!
- NO E-CIGARETTES. Yes, we understand they are welcome in many venues around the city but sadly not this one. The vapours prove distracting to those around you, so we ask that you kindly take your E-Cigarette and "vape" in the bar area rather than the screen.
- NO HOT FOOD. Eating in an auditorium smells at the best of times but remember, you"ll be in that room with potentially 280 others for approx. 12 hours. That stench will remain. We"ll put your food somewhere in our staff room, but then you"ll have to eat it cold at 10am in the morning.
- NO ALCOHOL from outside is permitted. Any alcohol found will be confiscated, and we"ll also really dislike you for going against this. This risks our bar license, which means that we"d lose a LOT of money keeping the cinema you love in good health.
- RESPECT FELLOW CINEMA-GOERS. No chatting about Downton Abbey or Top Gear (or whatever it is you all watch, we only watch movies), and avoid being rude to anyone. Remember you"re all in this together. Being rude and aggressive toward people will not work well for anyone.
- RESPECT THE STAFF. They"re here for you, they"re here to do your bidding and clean up and serve throughout the night. Some of them don"t even get to watch the films on the shift. They need a lot of love too. They also love to receive chocolates.
- BREAKS will be dictated on the night. Between films there will be a 10 minute break, sometimes more sometimes less. Either way, your film will go on as planned. It"s enough time to have an breather/cigarette break and hit up the kiosk for snacks.
- STICK AROUND for the survival photo. We upload them during the following week, but be patient with that one!
- HAVE A GREAT TIME. This isn"t really a rule, though we do hope you love the films and the atmosphere and continue to support us in marathons and beyond!
