We're launching an open air cinema in Dulwich Park and are looking for you to vote for the film you'd like shown at the first screening on 25th August (Bank Holiday Monday)


You get to choose from a shortlist of four classics:


'Casablanca', 'Some Like It Hot', 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' and 'The Graduate'


Vote online at www.thescreenonthegreen.com


At the moment the voting is so close that every vote could be decisive - so get online and have your say! If you would like to book tickets, you can do so on the website - we have limited number available, so make sure you get in before they sell out!

Great film choices - I'm sure I could dig out Beethoven 2!


We're actually talking about doing a few themed screenings - such as an 80s classics night (with a choice of Back To the Future, The Goonies, Karate Kid etc)


In terms of price - I'm sorry if some of you guys think it's a bit steep, but we're a local company without big corporate backing, just trying to establish something positive for the area. Also the difference between this event and lots of the other versions you get is that the screen we're projecting on to is absolutely enormous (10 metres by 6 metres), and the setting is first rate - great food / drink and film in one of the best parks in London.


I hope you give it a go - particularly as I'd be interested to have your feedback, so we can tailor it to exactly what you guys want (maybe not Electric Boogaloo!)

Great to see events coming back to the park. You have a difficult task finding a film that's well known enough to attract interest, but not so popular that everyone's seen it ten times. I've voted for Tiffanys because it's the only one I've never seen.


I don't think ?7.50 is unreasonable for an evening of cinema in such classy surroundings. (Greenwich Odeon is ?8.)

I agree, ?7.50 is not out of this world - West End cinemas are easily that much if not more. Brixton Ritzy is ?6.50 for an adult ticket, factor in bus fare and it's more.


Breakfast at Tiffany's gets my vote as I don't think I've ever seen it all the way through.

i'm definitely up for this. its a great idea. ?7.50 is a bit steep but at least you can walk home after the film... ooh i'd be interested in a themed night for musicals or something.. get the whole park singing...


p.s breafast at tiffany's gets my vote..

Agree ?7.50 is not a lot for a trip to the cinema, but that is to watch a film you can't rent out on DVD, or watch at christmas on the telly, and if it rains, you don't get wet.


That said, I hate going to the cinema with a passion, and would much rather sit outside (weather permitting), but with all the free screens you get over the summer months,, this seems steep to me. Anyway, didn't mean to start a big thing about the price, wish I'd not mentioned it. I is a nice idea, and I hope it goes well.


I'll wait to see what film it is...

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
