80s Classic Comedy Film Fest
Come on a rip-roaring nostalgia trip back to the decade of ‘big hair, mix tapes and extreme fashion’, as we present our 80s Classic Comedy Film Fest in association with Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
The 1980s produced arguably some of the greatest comedy films of all time and we’re itching to throw on our acid-washed jeans and tie-up our hair with velvet scrunchies to re-live this fluorescent age of blockbuster movies.
- Take the oath, join the club and come on Spielberg's classic family adventure, The Goonies.
- Buckle-up for the time travelling mishaps of Marty McFly in Back to the Future.
- Or, hit the road like you’re on a mission with the suited and booted Blues Brothers, the most devastating team since nitro and glycerine.
There are 9 hilarious flicks to choose from in the IMAX Theatre over the course of three consecutive weekends on 18 & 19 March, 25 & 26 March, and 1 & 2 April.
Get your great value tickets now from our Box Office powered by Ticket Tailor.
- Tickets priced £6.95, per person, per film.
- All films at the 80s Classic Comedy Film Fest are presented in standard, non-IMAX format.
