The Warriors
Bogan Film Classics | Brought to you by Aro Video
Saturday 14 March | 8.30pm
The Warriors promises an awesome retro night at movies. Set among youth gangs of New York who each have colourful names and uniforms, it’s a film faithful to its comic book origins by never pretending to be ‘real’, and with exciting action that never feels mean-spirited. It has a timeless ‘futuristic’ vibe that makes it still feel modern, and yet the story is based on an ancient Greek text that says something about the eternal nature of man and the troubled times we are now living through.
Directed by Walter Hill | 1979 | 93 minutes | R16 violence and offensive language
Goodbye Pork Pie
Bogan Film Classics | Brought to you by Aro Video
Sunday 15 March | 1.00pm
Proudly flying its Bogan Kiwi flag on the car aerial of a humble yellow mini, this road comedy classic was made in our own back yard with the undeniable #8 wire ingenuity and larrikin spirit of director Geoff Murphy. It’s a maverick-fuelled grand tour from Kaitaia to the Bluff, though it’s the mainland section where it really carries its audience towards the absolute ripper finale. “I’m taking this bloody car to Invercargill!”
Directed by Geoff Murphy | 1981 | 105 minutes | PG violence
The Castle
Bogan Film Classics | Brought to you by Aro Video
Sunday 15 March | 6.00pm
Regarded as Australia’s favourite movie of all time, this true-blue Bogan classic is up there in the hearts of Kiwis as well, full of quotable lines that have become immortalized in both of our cultures. Many of you will have seen it many times, but don’t let that stop you seeing it with a room full of fellow fans and members of a new generation keen to see what the fuss is about. It’s a film about family, after all!
Directed by Rob Stitch | 1997 | 84 minutes | M offensive language
