Enjoy Jordan Peele’s Cinematic Thrills and MCU's Latest Hits

Come one, come all! Cinematic adventures are nowhere near an end; Rooftop Film Club’s August programme invites everyone to enjoy beautiful sunsets and great flicks, all while celebrating the last month of an unforgettable summer. From the ‘Never Grow Up’ line-up of cult classics in the likes of Back to the Future and The Breakfast Club to a celebration of Black cinema with the screenings of Poetic Justice, Get Out, and If Beale Street Could Talk (just to name a few), this month’s selection of films will be on everyone’s must-see lists.

Rooftop Film Club will be showcasing the work of Black filmmakers and actors with screenings of Get Out (16th August), Queen & Slim (17th August), If Beale Street Could Talk (18th August), Friday (26th August), and Nope (30th August) at the Bussey Building in Peckham. While Stratford will host the screenings of Poetic Justice (18th August) and Love & Basketball (27th August). Fans of Daniel Kaluuya’s incredible acting skills, Melina Matsoukas’s award-winning directorial vision, and Jordan Peele’s cinematic thrills are in for a treat.

The ‘Never Grow Up’ series will take you on an exciting trip down memory lane… everyone feels nostalgic sometimes, right? As part of the ‘Never Grow Up’ series, Rooftop Film Club is showing some of the best ’80s gems: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (5th August), The Breakfast Club (12th August), The Goonies (19th August), and Back to the Future (25th August) in Peckham. In addition, Belfast (7th August), 13 Going on 30 (14th August), Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (21st August), and The Greatest Showman (28th August) will bring that sentimental feel to Stratford.

Those after some of the year’s most anticipated releases are in luck, too. Head to the Bussey Building for the screenings of Top Gun: Maverick (1st / 3rd / 9th August), Licorice Pizza (4th August), About Time (5th August), The Worst Person in the World (6th August), and Elvis (2nd / 8th August).

If you’re a die-hard Marvel fanatic, you’ve lucked out; the Thor: Love and Thunder (7th / 10th / 15th August) viewing is Rooftop Film Club’s gift to you. However, if you’re in the mood for critically-acclaimed films (make sure to tick them off your to-watch list later), Stratford is showing Fight Club (10th August), The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (19th August), and Pulp Fiction (20th August).

Fans of the classics can catch Amélie (21st August), Casablanca (25th August), and The Notebook (30th August).

Of course, no cinema trip would be complete without a selection of delicious snacks. At Peckham, you’re welcome to grab a sundowner from the flavourful cocktail menu at the Instagrammable Bussey Rooftop Bar, brought to you by the official bar partner De Kuyper Liqueurs. Don’t miss their Margarita, Blue Lagoon, and Diablo cocktails, plus special limited-edition movie-inspired cocktails at select screenings. Make sure to pair your cocktail with an authentic stone-baked delight from the mouthwatering menu at Share A Slice pizza, who will be serving up fave classics plus lots of new & exciting flavour combinations.

At Roof East, guests have the whole roof at their disposal. Grab a bite to eat at Naughty Burger, Raastawala, Piddaji and Treats Club and sample a whole range of drinks including wine, craft beers, soft drinks and mocktails alongside a specially crafted cocktail menu.
