Skyline Film Bangkok joins hands with Asiatique The Riverfront to bring movie lovers a riverside open-air cinema experience.

Start your Saturday evening slowly with a romantic comedy touched with mystery in Midnight in Paris or get your heart racing with the supernatural horror The Conjuring.

Romantic nights or horror frights, the choice is in your hands. Whether you’re leaning into spooky season or simply soaking in the cosy vibes of October, this riverside cinema will turn your weekend movie moments extra special.
The lineup:
Midnight In Paris
A love letter to dreamers, artists and anyone who’s ever wished they were born in another time. Midnight in Paris follows Gil Pender, an American writer. One midnight stroll changes everything and he finds himself transported back to the 1920s, surrounded by legendary artists and writers. The more he immerses himself in this magical era, the more he falls for both the city and a woman who shares his romantic longing for the past. Soon, Gil must face the ultimate question: does he truly want someone who’s like him or someone who truly understands him?

Sleepless In Seattle
One of the most heartwarming love stories ever told, even though the leads barely meet. Sleepless in Seattle follows Sam, a widower who still can’t move on after losing his wife. His young son, determined to see his father happy again, calls into a radio programme to tell the world about him. Meanwhile, across the country, Annie, a hopeless romantic listening to the programme, finds herself falling for a man she’s never seen. Sweet, simple and touching. It’s a perfect film to watch as the sun sets over the river.

Scream (1996)
In the quiet town of Woodsboro, things take a deadly turn when Sidney Prescott, a seemingly ordinary high school girl, starts receiving mysterious calls from a masked stranger. What seems to begin as a prank quickly spirals into a terrifying game of cat and mouse as her friends start dropping one by one. With paranoia running high, Sidney must uncover who’s hiding behind the ghostly mask – a classmate, her boyfriend or someone she’d never suspect. Scream mixes classic horror with sharp wit.
