A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our recent film poll!
While The Breakfast Club claimed the top spot, unfortunately, we won’t be able to screen it in March as planned — they’re in detention until later in the year for their own 40th anniversary!
But don’t worry! The next favourite, Restless Natives, will take its place. This cult Scottish classic is full of charm, adventure, and an iconic Big Country soundtrack—perfect for a feel-good film night!
