Playing dead: Simon Pegg and friends look for a way out in the comic horror zombie yarn Shaun of the Dead
Look here too
It's rare that one gets the chance to relive favourite movie moments on the big screen but over the next couple of months a multi-flavoured bubbly milkshake company is planning to change that.
The Frijj Film Festival offers Londoners the chance to experience again classics such as Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and more recent hits such as Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill at the cinema. And it's all free.
The festival, which begins tonight and runs on Thursday nights until mid-September at selected Cineworld and Odeon cinemas across the South-East, will show 26 of the most popular movies of all time, from heartwarmers such as time-travelling romp Back to the Future to heartjumpers-such as Steven Spielberg'shorrific shark tale Jaws and William Friedkin's adaptation of The Exorcist, which had cinema-goers fainting in the aisles the first time around.
Tonight's screenings include Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner at Whiteleys and Surrey Quays Odeon, Simon Pegg's comic zombie nightmare in Shaun of the Dead at Epsom Odeon and Pulp Fiction at Swiss Cottage Odeon.
You might prefer to relive the hobbit Frodo's quest to destroy the ring of power at Saturday's back-to-back screening of the Lord of the Rings trilogy at Covent Garden.
Tickets must be booked in advance on the Frijj website (where, of course, you will also find a bunch of milkshake-related viral films).
The Frijj Film Festival runs from 14 Aug-18 Sep. See www. frijjfilmfestival.com for details.
