One of the classic films that earned Alfred Hitchcock the nickname of "Master of Suspense" is coming to the big screen in Sully this week, and you can watch it for free.

The 39 Steps, the Master's version of the frequently adapted story by John Buchan, is being shown at the Old School on South Road as part of Sully Community Cinema's Free Film Friday series. This timeless thriller (cert. U) follows heroic Richard Hannay (Robert Donat) as he is accidentally plunged into a cross-country chase involving spies, assassins, and a mysterious conspiracy. Is the woman (Madeleine Carroll) who ends up being handcuffed to him a friend or an enemy, and can he discover the truth about the 39 Steps before it is too late? Find out by watching the fast-moving mix of drama, action, and sexual chemistry in a film that has often been voted one of the best British movies of all time and was described by the legendary Orson Welles as a masterpiece.

Join us at the Old School on Friday, May 29, at 1.30pm for free refreshments before the film begins at 2pm. Also, look out for our calendar on display around Sully and save the dates for our next films.

The unique Peter Sellers will be remembered for many comic characters, but perhaps his most famous is the hilarious and hapless Inspector Clouseau. This week, you can see Sellers in action in what is often regarded as the funniest Clouseau film, free of charge.

As part of its Free Film Friday series, Sully Community Cinema is showing the highly rated comedy A Shot in the Dark on Friday afternoon at the Old School on South Road. Join us to see Clouseau assigned to a high-profile murder case where he falls - sometimes literally - for the prime suspect, Maria (played by Elke Sommer). As the body count begins to rise and chaos ensues, Clouseau discovers that there might be more to the innocent-looking Maria than meets the eye. Could he be wrong about her?

A Shot in the Dark (cert. PG) - directed by Blake Edwards, who was in charge of many of the Pink Panther films as well as Breakfast at Tiffany's - also stars George Sanders, Herbert Lom as Clouseau's increasingly frustrated boss, and Burt Kwouk as his devoted (and dangerous) manservant Kato.

Join us on Friday from 1.30pm for free tea and biscuits before the film starts at 2pm. Entrance is free, and we look forward to seeing you!

When a gang of hardened criminals need a hide-out to plan a daring robbery, the rundown house of elderly Mrs Wilberforce looks ideal. However, they have not reckoned on her being a bit too curious, and a bit too friendly with the local police officers. When events spiral out of control, it looks like there might be only one solution: murder ...

The dilemma facing mastermind "Professor Marcus" and his crew of thieves is at the centre of a beloved British film from the 1950s, The Ladykillers, which is being shown free of charge this week at Sully's Old School on South Road.

PG), which has been described by critics as "near flawless" and "wonderfully macabre", features some of the biggest stars of the day: Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Katie Johnson, Herbert Lom, and Frankie Howerd. Watch and laugh as the increasingly desperate and treacherous gang try to solve their dangerous problem, while keeping up their cover as a civilised band of musicians.

Doors will open at 1.30 pm, when along with free entrance you will be able to enjoy free tea and biscuits and a chance to socialise before settling down for 90 minutes of on-screen mischief and mayhem.

Following another successful year packed with fresh movies and older classics, Sully Community Cinema is getting 2026 off to a great start with a new film that combines a cast of stars, a stunning location, and one of the most successful sagas of recent years.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (cert. PG) is the latest cinematic spin-off from the smash-hit TV series that enjoyed huge audiences and won a host of awards around the world. This third film, starring Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Penelope Wilton, Jim Carter, and many more Downton favourites, follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s and face scandal and a financial crisis. How will the combined household cope with the changing times, and can the lifestyles and traditions that have lasted for generations survive for much longer?

The previous two Downtown Abbey films proved a great success, and we are hoping for another bumper crowd to join us at Sully's Old School on South Road on Wednesday, January 14. Tickets at £5, which includes a free drink, will be available at the door from 7 pm, and all profits go to local good causes.
