This month's instalment of Curzon's Friday-night cult movie series dons its flashing LA Gear sneakers, leg-warmers and peroxide perm for a truly '80s double (simultaneous, actually) bill of classic Hollywood entertainment. Choose Kim Cattrall's so-bad-it's-brilliant turn in Mannequin (1987) or Ice-T's film debut, Breakin' (1984), and revel in an evening of uncool clothes and dated references. The dress code is strictly enforced, so hike up your bleached jeans, sculpt a curly mullet and hide your eyes behind some Ray-Ban Clubmasters while DJ Prince Nelly spins before the show. Stick around afterward and return to the days of grade school with live power ballads and '80s karaoke.
