Part two of our two part October celebration of Al Pacino is a film we have been waiting to play since the day this series started: William Friedkin’s infamously polarizing, often disorienting and totally electrifying Cruising (1980). A film that 45 years later still needs to be (repeatedly) seen to be believed, it stars Pacino as a New York City cop who infiltrates the city’s underground gay scene to try and find a killer. 

Leather is everywhere in this film, and we hope it will also be everywhere at in the cinema when we screen it. Since it will be a few days before Halloween, there will be a Cruising costume contest (with some great prizes) for the most inventive homage to the film. Not only that, the night will kick off with Dank Sinatra performing a tribute to the film that we promise cannot be missed.
