About Twilight:
Once the brooding heartbeat of teenage obsession, Twilight now glimmers with nostalgic charm and a touch of unintentional camp. It follows Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), a high schooler whose life takes a dramatic turn when she falls for Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) a pale, poetic vampire with a penchant for dramatic stares and eternal longing.
What unfolds is a love story steeped in supernatural angst, slow-motion glances, and a soundtrack that defined a generation. Watching it now is like opening a diary from 2008 - cringe, swoon, repeat.
Whether you professed to enjoying it ironically, or were 100% committed to the saga's Edward v Jacob debate, we want you to relive that very specific moment in the early noughties where "You're like my own personal brand of heroin" was, like, a totally romantic thing to say.
Celebrate 50 years of one of cinema's ultimate cult classics

About The Rocky Horror Picture Show:
A cult phenomenon that defies convention, The Rocky Horror Picture Show invites audiences into a wild, glitter-drenched world of science fiction, glam rock, and unapologetic eccentricity.
When strait-laced couple Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) stumble upon a mysterious mansion on a stormy night, they’re swept into a surreal soirée hosted by the flamboyant Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a self-proclaimed "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania."
With unforgettable musical numbers, outrageous costumes, and a legacy of audience participation, this genre-bending celebration of self-expression and camp has become a rite of passage for midnight moviegoers. Whether you're a seasoned fan or a curious first-timer, expect a night of laughter, liberation, and antici – pation.
