Enjoy these iconic films at the throwback ticket price of just R50 at select Ster-Kinekor cinemas
As we move into the festive season, everyone is looking for a bargain to get them to the end of the year. And, what better bargain than two hours of quality entertainment, watching some of the best movies from the past, at just R50 a ticket. With Ster-Kinekor’s Throwback Cinema promotion continuing during November and December, and into January 2025, you get to enjoy some cinema classics at a classic price.
“Bringing back popular movie titles from years gone by is proving to be a wonderful must-see-again option for our cinemagoers – and, with the ticket price for these Throwback Cinema titles at R50, what’s not to love? Continuing this popular promotion, November’s line-up spans a number of movie genres, ensuring there is something for everyone to watch, either as repeat viewing or for the very first time as a big screen experience,” says Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor.
“We are thrilled to be bringing these popular titles back to our screens as they deserve another big screen release. We are looking forward to seeing you all at our Throwback Cinema screenings!”
November’s Throwback Cinema titles include something for everyone – movies that performed extremely well at the box-office, and that fittingly deserve another showing on the big screen. Starting on 01 November is the fabulous 1983 dance movie Flashdance starring Jennifer Beals, who plays an 18-year-old amateur dancer who performs nightly at a dancing bar, and works as a welder during the day, but whose big dream is to join the Pittsburgh ballet school.
Directed by Ridley Scott, the 1982 sci-fi classic, Blade Runner, releases on 08 November, and stars Harrison Ford, Sean Young and Rutger Hauer. A blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.
Releasing on 15 November is the 1980 coming-of-age teen romance, Blue Lagoon, starring a young and innocent Brooke Shields alongside Christopher Atkins. During the Victorian period, two children are shipwrecked on a tropical island in the South Pacific. With no adults to guide them, the two make a simple life together, unaware that sexual maturity will eventually intervene.
For the adrenalin junkies, it’s time for the original Die Hard from 22 November. This 1988 action thriller stars Bruce Willis is his iconic role as John McClane, a New York City police officer who has to save his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedella) and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.
The final title is the 1987 song and dance biopic, La Bamba, which releases on 29 November, as we start the countdown to the festive season. It tells the story of the rise from nowhere of early rock ‘n roll singer Ritchie Valens, who tragically died at the age of 17 in a plane crash with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper, and stars Lou Diamond Phillips, Esai Morales and Rosanna DeSoto.
Going into the holiday season, Ster-Kinekor’s line-up includes some all-time Christmas favourites. And even though budgets might be stretched heading into the new year, the affordable price gives you the ticket to revisit iconic movie blasts from the past, or to discover them for the first time on the big screen. Either way, these are movies that deserve to be watched more than once.
The festive line-up of Throwback Cinema titles for December include Elf on 06 December, the delightful Home Along from 13 December, the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas releasing on 20 December and the third instalment of Back to the Future 3 on the big screen from 27 December
Heading into the new year, January’s line-up contains some stand-out classics. Starting off 2025 is Interstellar which releases on 03 January, followed by Groundhog Day from 10 January. Pursuit of Happyness fills the big screen from 17 January with No Country for Old Men releasing the following week, followed by The Truman Show on 31 January and Good Will Hunting on 07 February.

When Bernays first started writing about Public Relations, he referred to it as an ‘applied social science’. At the time (around 1920), the concept of social psychology was gaining popularity. And, thanks to his double uncle, the public was starting to accept the idea of psychology more and more. Bernays viewed PR as a way of understanding the attitudes and behaviors of crowds and how to change them. Back then, communication was just one of the ways to achieve that.
