One season, endless stories…

Picture this – 17 legendary movies in one season. That is the Summer of Classics at Cinema Akil this season, back for another run until September 20.

We love Cinema Akil and we’re positive Cinema Akil loves us because some of the movies on this list will make your heart sing as you move through space and time on celluloid.

The idea of a summer of classics is that when the steady stream of new movies starts to dwindle during this season, we look back in time and rediscover the best classics out there. This roster of carefully curated movies will take you all around the world.
