These days the 80s are very much in.
Stranger Things helped kick the current 80s infatuation along, full of nostalgic references to things that came out of a period sometimes described as ‘the decade that taste forgot’.
Steven Spielberg’s recent blockbuster Ready Player One was equally 80s-obsessed. The zeitgeist, in other words, is more than prepared to gorge on 80s entertainment.
Dendy Cinemas Newtown definitely got the memo, this week announcing a program of 80s cult classics that will feature a new film playing every week.
The season will start on Monday September 3, kicking off with a screening of Scarface to celebrate the film’s 35th anniversary.
The rest of the line-up includes Gremlins, the Back to the Future trilogy, The Never-Ending Story, Full Metal Jacket and The Thing.
Sessions will play 10am and 6:30pm and tickets are cheap: $8 for Club Dendy members and $10 for everyone else.
