Each movie will be screened for one week in September.

From next week, you can catch the following classics at select Ster-Kinekor branches:

The Terminator from 6 September

The Terminator is a classic action movie from 1984.

A human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman, Sarah Connor.

Her unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.

Road House from 13 September

The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton (Patrick Swayze) has been hired to clean it up.

He might not look like much, but the PhD-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot.

But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay (Kelly Lynch) puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara).

The Naked Gun from 20 September

The first in the franchise series sees incompetent police Detective Frank Drebin on a case to foil an attempt to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II.

The 1988 film, directed by David Zucker and co-written by him with Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, stars Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley and O.J. Simpson.

Dangerous Liaisons from 27 September

A scheming widow and her manipulative ex-lover make a bet regarding the corruption of a recently married woman.

Also first released in 1988, the film is directed by Stephen Frears and written by Christopher Hampton and Choderlos de Laclos. Starring alongside Glenn Close are John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer.

In October, film lovers can catch The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, and Pulp Fiction.

November’s Throwback Cinema titles include Flashdance, Blade Runner, Blue Lagoon, and Die Hard.

Throwback Cinema titles will be screened at the following Ster-Kinekor sites:

  • Sandton and Rosebank Nouveau in Johannesburg;
  • Irene and The Grove in Tshwane;
  • Ilanga, Mbombela; Gateway in Umhlanga;
  • Baywest in Gqeberha;
  • Garden Route in George;
  • Somerset in Somerset West; and
  • Tygervalley, Blue Route, Cavendish and V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
“Throwback Cinema allows us to bring back some timeless films for our customers to relive and enjoy once again, at a very affordable ticket price. It’s been fun going through the older catalogues and reminiscing as we select the titles, and we are sure everyone who books a ticket to watch one of them will have a similar big screen experience.”
