Valentine's Day at the BFI

Looking for a date night treat for your film-obsessed lover? The BFI is delivering a stellar programme of romantic flicks for Valentine’s Day. On the bill are Thatcherite Britain romance My Beautiful Laundrette, sporty rom-com Love and Basketball, Aussie mystery drama Picnic at Hanging Rock, Céline Sciamma’s period romance Portrait of a Lady on Fire and 1960 Oscar winner The Apartment. There’ll also be a Galentine’s screening of cult 1970s examination of female friendship Girlfriends on Thursday February 13. Or if you really want to impress your boo with some serious cinéma, take them to an all-night marathon of the first three movies in the Twilight Saga at the BFI IMAX on Saturday February 15. No making out in the back row though, please!
