DERBY'S Intu shopping centre has revealed plans to show a drive-in movie on the top floor of its car park.

It announced the news on its Facebook page and is now appealing for people to choose the first movie to be played.

The options are Dirty Dancing, Grease, Mamma Mia, Sky Fall and Top Gun.

More than 800 people have flooded the Facebook page with their votes.

Marketing manager Tania Vesty said: "We already have drive-in movies at other Intu centres and they have been a great success.

"So that's why we decided we would try it in Derby. We think it's going to be popular.

"The first event is scheduled to take place on Friday, August 1, and Quad [the Market Place arts centre] will be providing the screen."

Voting for the choice of film – conducted entirely though the shopping centre's Facebook page – was due to close at 9am today.

Tania added: "We will announce the chosen film on our website.

"At this stage, we cannot confirm how many cars will be able to park there, how much tickets will cost or times."

The centre says that further details will be revealed today.

Hundreds of people have taken to Intu Derby's Facebook page to share their views on what film should be screened.

Zoë Marello posted: "Has to be Grease, 'stranded at the drive-in'."

Carrie Louise agreed, saying: "Grease! Just imagine everyone singing along."

Claire Nelson posted: "It's got to be Grease at a drive-in."

But Nina Thornton said: "Top Gun all day long."

Jack Fowkes also voted for Top Gun.

He wrote: "Intu, this is a great idea to promote the shopping centre."

And Sarah Gerrard said: "Top Gun, then my son would come, too, and I could educate them in 80s-tastic films!"

"It must be Dirty Dancing," posted Claire Cutts. "Thanks for organising this for my birthday treat."

Emma Mace couldn't decide. She said: "Dirty Dancing, Grease and Top Gun... I can't decide between them."

Ruth Wheatley posted on the Facebook page: "I'm easy, whatever comes on. I love all films on the list."

Other people on the Facebook page praised the idea for the event.

Kelly Martin said: "This is the most exciting thing to happen in Derby, ever!"

And Kirsty Gaskin said: "That's amazing. I would go to watch any of those films."
