Back in 2012, a couple of film buff brothers had a thought - why isn’t there a local film club? Somewhere like-minded individuals with a passion for cinema could meet up and talk about their shared love. Shortly thereafter, We Watch Films was born.

We started having monthly meet ups at the cinema to watch the latest releases together and share in the the experience of watching movies on the big screen, as well as sharing some old favourites at home too. As those meetings grew from a small group of friends to strangers that became new friends, the home meet ups became harder to squeeze everyone into someone's front room around a TV. It was then we realised that there were no local cinemas showing classic movies on the big screen - so we began to organise them ourselves.

Since 2013 We Watch Films has been bringing classic movies back to the big screen every month, showcasing films that deserve to be seen back on the big screen. From Jaws to The Shawshank Redemption, Labyrinth to The Goonies (and many more), trying to put a little something in there for everyone.

As well as screening some great classic movies, we also host the free to enter BIG MOVIE QUIZ before each film, giving you the chance to test your movie general knowledge and making every #ClassicMovieMonday a fun night out for everyone!

Having started out at our sister cinema in Beverley, We Watch Films has grown so popular we thought we better bring it to Parkway Cinema Barnsley too! So why not see what we’ve got on this season with us and enjoy some of your favourite classic movies back on the big screen, where they belong!

Dismissed when first released, later heralded as one of director Alfred Hitchcock's finest films (and, according to Hitchcock, his most personal one), this adaptation of the French novel D'entre les morts weaves an intricate web of obsession and deceit. It opens as Scottie Ferguson (James Stewart) realizes he has vertigo, a condition resulting in a fear of heights, when a police officer is killed trying to rescue him from falling off a building. Scottie then retires from his position as a private investigator, only to be lured into another case by his old college friend, Gavin Elster (Tom Helmore). Elster's wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak), has been possessed by a spirit, and Elster wants Scottie to follow her. He hesitantly agrees, and thus begins the film's wordless montage as Scottie follows the beautiful yet enigmatic Madeleine through 1950s San Francisco (accompanied by Bernard Herrmann's hypnotic score). After saving her from suicide, Scottie begins to fall in love with her, and she appears to feel the same way. Here tragedy strikes, and each twist in the movie's second half changes our preconceptions about the characters and events. In 1996 a new print of Vertigo was released, restoring the original grandeur of the colors and the San Francisco backdrop, as well as digitally enhancing the soundtrack
