And yet somehow – miraculously – the drinker’s soul remainsintact; his final mission frustrated, temporarily foresaken but never entirely forgotten.

Wow! That’s an even better line up than usual.
But I’m really surprised/impressed that The Band’s Visit is going to be shown. It’s a heart-warming movie, so there’s no need to drag politics into it or censor it.
Only watched 12 Angry Men from that list. Pretty good movie.
“Picture me in THEEEEEESE!” ROFLOL
Brazil=Awesome
Now we need Zardoz.
That is a great line up. Brazil is a MUST watch
which company is providing this cinema in the roof?
12 Angry Men- a classic.
