Everyman Cinema takes a road trip to the King's Cross Filling Station – a disused BP garage-cum-cultural space overlooking the Regent's Canal – to screen 16 films with plots driven by cars, escape and the open road. Obligatory classics 'Easy Rider' and 'Bonnie and Clyde' run alongside more contemporary, though no less appropriate inclusions such as 'Drive' and 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. The animated 'Cars' and 'Cars 2' meanwhile screen for families on Saturday mornings.
Although this outdoor venue provides shelter in the form of an old forecourt canopy, warm weather is far from guaranteed, so pack an extra jumper and blanket. Snacks include American hot dogs, beers, wine, cocktails and bottomless filter coffee. For more information see www.everymancinema.com. Film titles are as follows:
