101 Film Club Special: Two Christmas Classics

It’s Christmas! While the Soup Kitchen serves a special menu just outside 101, we’ll be screening two Christmas classics in the warmth of our space upstairs.

12 noon: Trapped in Paradise (1994, US, 1h51m, PG)

Fresh out of prison, Alvin and Dave Firpo pull their brother Bill (Nicolas Cage) back into a life of crime. But the siblings’ foolproof bank heist takes a tailspin when Alvin gets lost in the getaway car. That’s how the criminal nitwits wind up trapped in the snowbound burg of Paradise, PA, on Christmas Eve with a bag full of stolen cash. With suspicious police on one side and hospitable townsfolk on the other, could a change of heart be far away? Trailer

2pm: It’s a Wonderful Life (1946, US, 2h10m, PG)

George Bailey (James Stewart) has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all – but it’s Christmas! As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence – who then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn’t been for all his good deeds over the years. Trailer

As always, free entry and donations encouraged! You can also support us on Patreon from as little as £3/month.
