Enjoy some classics from the director's decades-long career on the big screen.
Steven Spielberg turns 80 later this year and to mark the occasion, we're screening a selection of titles from his decades-long career.
Throughout March, you can see four of his most popular films on the big screen, where they were made to be watched...
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Darker and more pessimistic than many other of Spielberg's treatments of the conflict, this combat epic is filled with unflinching battle sequences which were hailed by veterans as being the most realistic they had ever seen.
Normandy, 1944: Captain John Miller takes his men behind enemy lines on a mission to locate Private James Ryan, whose three brothers have already been killed in action, and bring him home safely. Surrounded by the brutal realities of war, while searching for Ryan, each man embarks on a personal journey, discovering their own strength in hopes of meeting an uncertain future with honour, decency and courage.
Warm, inventive, beautifully performed and soundtracked by a magnificent John Williams score, E.T. is a classic cinematic fairytale.
A gentle alien stranded on Earth is befriended by a young boy named Elliott. Hiding the extraterrestrial into his suburban California home, Elliott introduces E.T. to his brother and his little sister, and the children plan to keep its existence to themselves. But when the secret gets out and the government intervenes, Elliott must embark on an epic, high stakes race to help E.T. get home.
Jurassic Park (1993) (in collaboration with Shetland Foodbank)

Spielberg's awe-inspiring, game-changing 1993 action adventure is now a beloved modern classic, regularly voted one of the greatest films of all time.
Adapted from Michael Crichton's bestselling novel and brilliantly utilising CGI, it sees eccentric industrialist John Hammond invite a group of experts - chaotician Ian and palaeontologists, Alan and Ellie, to visit his theme park of cloned dinosaurs. But after a power failure, the intelligent, lethal creatures run loose - putting everyone's lives, including his grandchildren's, in grave danger.
Spielberg's 2001 sci-fi odyssey hits differently in the age of actual AI. One of the director's darkest and most exploratory films, it was adapted from a Brian Aldiss story originally optioned by Stanley Kubrick and blends Spielbergian warmth with Kubrick's chillier, more analytical style.
In the 22nd century, society is in collapse. A robotic boy - the first programmed to love - David is adopted by Henry and Monica. But a series of unexpected circumstances make David's new life impossible, and eventually he must embark on a journey to discover where he truly belongs.
