Lord of the Rings and Star Wars marathons at the Grand Rex this winter: dates

Are you ready to (re)discover cinema's greatest sagas on Europe's biggest cinema screen? This winter, the Grand Rex is making its Grand Large room available for two exceptional evenings. One is devoted to Lord of the Rings, on December 23, and the other to Star Wars, on January 5.

The Lord of the Rings evening starts at 6:45 p.m., and will feature all three films in Peter Jackson's trilogy, in their full-length versions. The evening will end at 8 a.m., so it's best to prepare for the night!

For the Star Wars evening, you'll be able to see four films, starting with Rogue One at 7.30pm, followed by the original trilogy, episodes 4 to 6, until 5.30am.
