Vue taking film fans back to 1999 this summer with return of classics like The Matrix and The Mummy

This summer, a popular cinema chain is turning back the clock to 1999 by screening seven iconic films from the 20th century’s final year.

Vue, which has cinemas at the Fort and St Enoch shopping centres, is rolling back the years and say they'll have something for everyone, with films ranging from epic sci-fi to classic teen comedies and family faves.

Kicking off with the Keanu Reeves blockbuster, The Matrix, the re-screenings begin on June 8, with other blockbusters like The Mummy, arriving from July 6, with fans travelling back to 1920s Egypt as English librarian Evie, her trickster brother Jonathan and hunky guide Rick accidentally unleash a curse which had been laid on the dead High Priest Imhotep for centuries.

Arguably one of the most quotable films in movie history, American Pie is also celebrating its 25th birthday this year. The ultimate teen movie, starring the iconic Jennifer Coolidge as Stiffler’s mum, will be gracing Vue from July 19.

Also returning to the big screen will be the sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest (from 21 June) starring Sigourney Weaver, the classic rom-com She’s All That (from 29 June) starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and action thriller Deep Blue Sea (from 26 July) starring Samuel L Jackson.

General manager at Vue UK & Ireland, Toby Bradon, said: “Here at Vue we pride ourselves on screening so much more than just blockbusters, as our latest Back on the Big Screen season shows.

"It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since these classic films were first released. We’re thrilled to be sharing them on the big screen, the way they were meant to be seen.”
