"We are not alone."
I'll never forget the first time I saw CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. Sitting in a packed cinema with about a thousand other people, and at one particular moment – you'll know it when you see it – the entire audience gasped as one. That's the magic I'm always trying to recreate with Pat's Film Club: that incredible feeling when a room full of strangers becomes a community, all experiencing something extraordinary together.
Steven Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS isn't just brilliant science fiction – it's about curiosity, obsession, and that very human need to believe there's something bigger out there. When Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) becomes fixated on visions of a mysterious mountain, we're right there with him, desperate to understand what it all means.
This is Spielberg at his absolute best, building to moments that will give you goosebumps. Those five haunting musical notes, the Devil's Tower sequence, the mothership's arrival – these aren't just special effects, they're emotional experiences that demand to be shared in the dark with other film lovers.
We're showing Spielberg's Director's Cut, which adds even more depth to an already perfect film. This is your chance to experience one of cinema's greatest achievements properly – on the big screen, with the sound turned up, surrounded by people who understand why movies matter.
Come and rediscover the wonder. Because some films don't just entertain – they remind you exactly why you fell in love with cinema in the first place.
Book now – the truth is out there, and it's absolutely magical...
