Often hosting repertory screenings, this London cinema has increasingly become a home for Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon, which has grown in popularity there over recent years. Once considered the kind of title you might expect to see on a Sunday afternoon or a midweek evening, it has now become a Saturday night movie on their programme, with the head of programming, Paul Vickery, describing how they’ll look at a three-hour gap and decide to put Barry Lyndon on. The shift in when it’s scheduled reflects how the audience for the film at the Prince Charles has expanded, turning it into a prime-time attraction rather than a quiet, off-peak repertory choice. - Phil de Semlyen
