Some of the best and worst films ever made are hitting an anniversary in 2023, and some London cinemas are offering the chance to see them again.
From The Deer Hunter to The Room, years ending in 3 and 8 have a lot to be thanked for and, in the case of Gigli, answer for.
Thankfully, the latter is not showing but there are plenty of films to give a second viewing or maybe see for the first time.
Here are ten classic films to watch this summer.
Freaky Friday (2003)
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan star as a mother and daughter who do not get along until they are forced to work together when they swap bodies.
The comedy will be played out at the free Everyman Screen on the Canal on Thursday, June 29.
The Room (2003)
What is widely considered the worst film of all time has garnered a cult following since its release - especially at The Prince Charles Cinema where it shows monthly.

The most recent on the list to celebrate an anniversary, the late Chadwick Boseman stars in the 2018 Marvel epic which won a rare distinction for a superhero film: an Oscar nomination.

Jurassic Park (1993)
It really has been that long since we were all terrified by the raptors after the eccentric John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) convinced everyone the dinosaur attraction was safe.
