Pyjama party: Prince Charles Cinema all night movie marathon
Over the long Bank Holiday I stayed up all night watching classic teen movies at the Prince Charles Cinema’s Pyjama Party. Eight films. 14 hours. A room full of strangers in their jim jams (I wore a onesie so felt a bit like I was cheating). A mountain of sugary sweets. Pass the parcel. An impressive amount of formulaic high school plots (girl + boy x high school ÷ turmoil = vom-inducing love) and some serious delirium. It was epic. I didn’t even make it to the bitter sweet end like these troopers above (I snuck out at 6am) but even that felt like an achievement! If this sounds like your idea of heaven, you are in for a treat. You may have missed the teen film marathon, but you are just in time to get tickets to the next all-nighter on August 4- a dance spectacular: ‘Saturday Night Fever’, the original ‘Footloose’, ‘Bring It On’, ‘Save The Last Dance’, ‘Flashdance’ and ‘Dirty Dancing’. Wowcher. Tickets go on sale at 1pm today so get booking. Sonya Barber

[...] You’ve also got three stabs at a full Cine-marathon in the next two months. Just around the corner is an epic Muppet Marathon (August 18); all seven muppet films in one sitting. If we say that each film is 90 minutes (and some are longer) that experience clocks in at 10½ hours. That’s a whole lot of Kermit. Next is Wes-Fest (September 28); Wes Anderson’s first five films shown from 21.00-06.20. So long you’ll wish they’d Rushmore. Finally, why not sign up for the Halloween Pyjama Party (October 6)? Six classic horror films screened from 9pm-8.20am to an audience in nightwear. That’s nearly eleven and a half hours of pyjama-clad perseverance. [...]
