Come and chill out with friends and watch some great movies. Four nights of trilogies. On the first night (27th Dec) there was the "Back to the Future" trilogy. Maybe the residents of Guildford were all partied out or the fact that the films had been on TV so recently, contributed to the low turnout, or perhaps nobody believes anything can be FREE these days. The Second night (28th Dec) started with the classic "Raider's of the Lost Ark". It will be regreted for all time that someone had to make the silly Indiana Jones sequels. It was good that you could leave mid-film without the need to disturb the whole row. On the third night (29th Dec) we had the equally classic Terminator 1 & 2. Yes I know its a trilogy too, but surely the Governor of California (Arnold Schwarzenegger) knows more about politics, than about how not to flog a dead horse. The grand finale (30th Dec) to this Xmas Film Festival was the grandfather of all trilogies "Star Wars". OK its now technically a Hexalogy, though as I'm sure most true fans would agree the recent extended merchanising commercials are hardly worthy of the Saga's name. It was great to see the original trilogy back to back, though this was the slightly doctored movies, now known as IV, V, and VI, with links to the prequels mentioned above. Sitting on a comfy leather sofa, with a pint in one hand and some free popcorn in the other, made this festival quite an experience, Its just a shame that more people weren't there to enjoy it.
