Back with another installment of midnight screenings, the concept of film aficionado Akis Kapranos returns, featuring three films, three unique worlds, and an unforgettable cinematic experience beneath the city stars.

The Love Bug, Robert Stevenson, 1968 (108′)

The lovable Herbie, the “Beetle with a soul,” brings laughter and action in this classic Disney comedy. A race car driver in a career crisis and a car with personality prove that friendship and dedication win every race. A light-hearted, feel-good film that continues to captivate both young and old.

Christine, John Carpent, 1983 (110′)

From Stephen King’s imagination and directed by John Carpenter comes one of the most iconic thrillers of the ’80s. A seemingly innocent red Plymouth Fury develops a life of its own, dragging its young owner into a dark obsession. A cult classic that explores the darker side of passion, uniquely capturing the atmosphere of the ’80s and still beloved by horror movie fans today.

Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, 1982 (117′)

More than just a science fiction film, Ridley Scott’s iconic futuristic noir transports us to the dark, rainy Los Angeles of 2019. “Blade runners” hunt down replicants, genetically engineered humans, in a story that goes beyond police procedural to explore deep existential questions about identity and humanity. A masterpiece that defined the genre.
