Coming to a seafront near you: Europe's biggest outdoor screen
Would you prefer an adventurous archaeologist, a scary shark or a musical marriage?
Or what about some fishy friends, dock detectives or pillaging pirates?
One of these will feature on Europe's largest outdoor screen when the drive-in movie returns to Southsea Common on October 3 – and it's down to you to choose.
The six shortlisted films – Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, Mamma Mia, Finding Nemo, On the Waterfront and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl – were being announced today at the launch of the fourth annual Portsmouth Film Festival.
The drive-in movie opens the nine-day festival, which is packed with features, shorts, projections and world cinema showing across a range of venues in the city.
The winning film will be chosen by News readers and listeners to Wave 105FM and announced at the end of the month.
To help you choose which movie you want to drive to the Common to watch, we have put trailers of all the six shortlisted films on our website at portsmouth.co.uk/ trailers.
John Sackett, festival artistic director, said: 'The shortlist is bound to get people debating, as there are many favourites included. The winning film will be shown on Europe's largest outdoor screen on Southsea Common.'
He added: 'Last year's screening of Grease attracted over 2,000 people, and this year's event is promising to be even bigger.'
