Turn it up to eleven and warm up those vocal cords — we’re throwing a birthday party fit for rock royalty. Join us for a Sing-A-Long Screening of Bohemian Rhapsody to celebrate what would have been the 80th birthday of the one and only Freddie Mercury. Released in 2018, Bohemian Rhapsody charts the meteoric rise of Queen — from humble beginnings to stadium-shaking superstardom — culminating in their legendary Live Aid performance. With electrifying recreations of iconic songs including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” “Somebody to Love,” and “Don’t Stop Me Now,” this is not a screening for the shy and retiring. This is your invitation to sing. Loudly. Proudly. Possibly off-key. We’ll have the lyrics on screen, the sound cranked high, and a room full of fellow rock disciples ready to stomp, clap and channel their inner Freddie. Sequins optional. Enthusiasm mandatory. Because legends never die — and on this night, Freddie’s spirit will be very much alive at the Capri.

This highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life. Guided with interview, commentary and Frida’s own words, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN uncovers that this, however, was not a life defined by tragedy. Featuring key exhibitions and interviews with world-renowned Kahlo curators, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN explores the extraordinary symbolism and themes in these personal canvases to seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo. Using cinema to take an up-close and intimate look at her works we examine how great an artist she can be considered. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage. We might think we already know Frida Kahlo – the image of floral crowns, big brows and folk style clothing have made her a muse to generations – but what lies beneath the surface of this intensely passionate woman?

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Forty years on, the ultimate day of delightful delinquency still rules the school. Join us as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off — the era-defining comedy that turned sick days into an art form and made a parade float the coolest ride in Chicago. Matthew Broderick’s fourth-wall-breaking charmer, Alan Ruck’s anxious best mate Cameron, and Mia Sara’s effortlessly cool Sloane remind us that sometimes you just have to take a look around… before life moves pretty fast. Directed by the legendary John Hughes, this 1986 classic became a cultural touchstone for a generation — from the Ferrari fantasy to the unforgettable “Twist and Shout” sequence that still brings the house down. Whether you first bunked off with Ferris in ’86 or you’re discovering his masterclass in mischief for the first time, this is your official excuse to skip the ordinary and spend a couple of hours at the movies. After all… if you don’t stop and watch it on the big screen once in a while, you could miss it.

Diamonds may be forever… but icons are once in a century. Join us as we celebrate the 100th birthday of Hollywood’s ultimate blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe, with a dazzling double feature on the big screen. First, it’s the sparkling, show-stopping glamour of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, where Monroe’s Lorelei Lee teaches us all that diamonds are a girl’s best friend (and that pink satin never goes out of style). Then we turn up the heat with The Seven Year Itch, featuring that subway-grate scene — the white dress, the breeze, the moment that defined movie history. From her comic timing to her vulnerability, from Technicolor musical numbers to Manhattan mischief, Marilyn remains one of cinema’s most enduring stars. A century on, she still glows on the big screen exactly as she was meant to. So slip into something fabulous, gather your best girlfriends (or your best leading man), and celebrate 100 years of sparkle, sass and silver-screen magic. Because some like it hot… but we prefer it on the Capri screen. 1:45pm - Organ 2:00pm - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes 3:30pm - Interval 3:50pm - 7 Year Itch 5:35pm - Finish

In 1984, Prince didn’t just release an album — he unleashed a phenomenon. Purple Rain became a cultural lightning bolt, blending music, drama and autobiography into one of the most iconic rock films ever made. The Story: Prince stars as “The Kid,” a gifted but troubled Minneapolis musician navigating rivalry, romance and a turbulent home life while fighting to keep his band — The Revolution — on top at a local nightclub. At its heart, Purple Rain is about finding your voice, breaking cycles, and turning pain into art. Why It Matters: - Made on a modest budget of around $7 million, the film grossed over $70 million worldwide. - The soundtrack became one of the best-selling albums of all time, spending 24 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the US. - It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. - The legendary title track “Purple Rain” was recorded live at Minneapolis’ First Avenue club — the very venue that inspired the film’s setting. Marking ten years since Prince’s passing, this screening is more than a movie night — it’s a celebration of a once-in-a-generation artist whose style, sound and fearless individuality still electrify the screen. Let’s go crazy… one more time.

Big laughs. Big carrots. Big organ sound. Book early — this one’s bound to multiply!
