About this Event

A screening of gangster epic 'The Godfather' (1972), part of our 'Cult Classics' series at the Beecroft Cinema Club.



"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.."

Beecroft Cinema Club presents 'Cult Classics' series, screening the iconic films that fans are frenzied for on the last Thursday of each month on the big screen at the Beecroft Art Gallery.

In September, we're 'The Godfather' (1972), directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard Castellano, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, John Marley, Richard Conte and Diane Keaton. The first installment in The Godfather Trilogy follows the Italian American Corleone family under patriarch Vito Corleone (Brando) and the transformation of his youngest son Michael (Pacino), from hesitant outsider to ruthless Mafia boss.

The Godfather is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, as well as a landmark of the gangster genre. It was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry in 1990, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and is ranked the second-greatest film in American cinema (behind Citizen Kane) by the American Film Institute.

Doors open and refreshments will be available from 6pm and the film will start promptly at 6:30pm (there are no adverts). There is no allocated seating.

The film's run time is 2hr 55 minutes.

The film is rated '15' and this event is 15+ only.
