THE three films being screened at this year’s Wokingham Open Air Cinema have just been announced.
The annual event in Elms Field offers a fun night out for all ages, with films shown on a pop-up screen.
Running for three nights from Friday, August 19 to Sunday, August 21 – and a week ahead of Wokingham Festival in the same place – guests are asked to bring something to sit on and a picnic to enjoy while waiting for the films to start.
The films chosen this year are 1968 classic The Italian Job, Disney Pixar animation Wall-E and 1980s romantic fantasy The Princess Bride.
The Italian Job needs little introduction – the film, which stars Michael Caine and Benny Hill, is often described as the ultimate heist movie and sees a gang of scallywags use Minis to plan the raid of the century.
Wall-E is a charming family film that focuses on a small waste-collecting robot lost in space and looking for love.
And 1987 film The Princess Bride is the story of Westley, a farmhand who has to rescue Princess Buttercup from Prince Humperdinck and features Peter Falk – aka Columbo – as the narrator.
The event is free, but donations towards costs are welcomed. It is being sponsored by three Wokingham businesses, Michael Hardy Property Estate Agents, The Eye People and Zappas.
