Showcase Cinemas has announced that four classic movies will be heading back to UK cinemas this week. Jaws, Finding Nemo, Grease and Brief Encounter will play on Showcase screens as part of the chain’s Flashback series.
First up is iconic thriller Jaws, screening on 8th and 9th May. When a man-eating great white shark attacks a summer resort town, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) teams up with a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw) to take down the terrifying beast. They’re going to need a bigger boat!
The following week sees Pixar classic Finding Nemo return to the big screen on 14th and 15th May. The aquatic adventure tells the story of an overprotective clownfish Marlin (Albert Brooks) who joins forces with the loveable Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) to journey across the ocean in search of his missing son, Nemo.
Kicking off the summer season is sing-along romantic-comedy Grease. Dashing high school student Danny Zuko (John Travolta) falls for Australian transfer student Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) in a summer romance, but when they find themselves attending the same school, they must navigate the drama amongst the Pink Ladies and The T-Birds. Grease will screen on May 22nd and 23rd.
On May 29th, Showcase will be screening British romantic drama Brief Encounter. Starring Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, the film follows the passionate affair that ignites between two married strangers shortly before WWII.
