One of the best cinemas in London is celebrating its 26th birthday in generous style.  

Mile End’s Genesis Cinema is offering 1999 ticket prices to an array of classic films from the past 26 years. 

Between May 2-15, you’ll be able to catch an array of modern classic for only £2.50. And almost as good? Popcorn and drink prices will also be at 1999 levels for ticket holders.

On the programme are a clutch of 21st century classics beloved by the cinema, including AftersunThe Matrix, Kneecap, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, The Worst Person In The World, Crank, The Handmaiden and Persepolis. 

The chance to commune with fellow Crank fans doesn’t come along very often – let alone for pocket change. Don’t let Chev Chelios down. 

And Wes Anderson fans are especially well-served, with most of the American auteur’s back catalogue back on the big screen for the birthday celebration.

Head to the cinema’s official site for the full line up and to buy tickets.

And that’s not the only big news coming out of the East End picturehouse. Genesis recently announced plans to redevelop and modernise its site, incorporating student housing and potentially a second cinema elsewhere in London.
