Movie Night on Saturday - 6th August 2016, 5 PM
In the world of entertainment, sports and cinema collide tonight as Andrew Collins presents a special show celebrating human strength and perseverance.
The evening begins with the iconic theme from "Chariots of Fire" being performed by Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra. This piece, famously used in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, continues to resonate as a symbol of determination and triumph.
Mr. Bean, a beloved character, will also be part of the performance, adding a touch of humour to the evening.
The show will also feature the film "Chariots of Fire", a classic tale of rivalry and resilience set against the backdrop of the 1924 Paris Olympics. Other films exploring similar themes will be screened, although the exact list and the specific day of the week the show premiered are not yet available.
For those who prefer the ring to the track, there's no shortage of boxing classics either. "Rocky", a timeless favourite, and more recent hits like "Southpaw" and "Raging Bull" will be celebrated for their portrayals of grit and determination in the boxing world.
Interestingly, music from these sporting movies will provide the soundtrack for an exciting shadowboxing segment during the show.
Meanwhile, in the realm of motor racing, the film "Rush" tells the thrilling story of the rivalry between giants Niki Lauda and James Hunt. Directed by Ron Howard and featuring a score by Hans Zimmer, this film offers a captivating portrayal of the high-stakes world of Formula One.
Elsewhere, "The Trap" is not a sporting film, but it is recognized for its use in TV coverage of the London Marathon each year. Tonight, it is set to be featured as part of the show.
Lastly, the film "Eddie the Eagle" celebrates a different, British kind of hero, focusing on the underdog story of Eddie Edwards, a British ski-jumper who competed at the 1988 Winter Olympics.
So, whether you're a fan of track and field, boxing, or motor racing, there's something for everyone in this special sports-themed cinema event. Don't miss out!
