We’ll press play on the remarkable story of home video in Northern Ireland in a new six-part series.

Before the screening we’ll record a live episode on the history of the video shop in Northern Ireland. And we want to hear from you. Come along and share your memories of video shops from your local independent dealer to your nearest Xtra-vision.

We’ll then watch the VHS tape of The Princess Bride, in full, with trailers of long-forgotten films, piracy warnings, the lot. If it’s on tape, it’s going on screen.

The Princess Bride

A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, The Princess Bride was only a modest success in the cinema but became a cult classic on video. Watched again and again at home it charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzling swordplay. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman, The Princess Bride is a must-see on VHS in the cinema.
