Weekend Playlist: Cinema

Weekend Playlist: Cinema

Here's the weekend playlist created by Ian with help from guest curator NatalieBear looking at X/twitter selections (21/03/2025) with Songs that reference anything at a cinema.
This was inspired by first public film screen in Paris on 22nd March 1895 and what would have been Oscar-winning cinematographer David Watkin's 100th birthday on 23rd March.
