Iconic movies take the spotlight once again with special anniversary screenings at Vue Leeds Kirkstall Road – including the original summer blockbuster
Iconic films marking major milestones this year are returning to Vue Leeds Kirkstall Road for a limited run – including what is widely regarded as the original summer blockbuster, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws.
The iconic film, which created a generation of sea-fearing film lovers, will be arriving from the 29 August, 50 years after it first graced the big screen.
For young and young-at-heart audiences, classic family adventure film, The Goonies will be returning from 26 July. Marking 40 years since arriving on screen for the first time, the film follows a group of misfits who set out to find pirate treasure in a bid to save their home from foreclosure.
Other family favourites returning are Madagascar (from 15 August) and Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire (from 18 August) – both of which are celebrating their 20th anniversary.
Ang Lee’s star-studded Sense and Sensibility will see British acting heavy weights Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman (to name a few!) returning to the screen from 8 August.
Meanwhile, fellow British acting alumni Daniel Day Lewis can be seen in one of his first roles in My Beautiful Laundrette. The film, heading to screening 2 August, follows two friends as they transform a run-down laundrette into a gaudy, neon-lit palace against a background of racial tension and poverty.
General Manager at Vue Leeds Kirkstall Road, Jack Costello said: “Whether it’s the latest blockbuster or a timeless classic, we pride ourselves on showing the very best in big screen entertainment. 2025 marks major milestones a roster of great films and we’re thrilled to bring these much-loved titles back to Vue for fans to enjoy all over again - and for a new generation to discover for the first time.”
