Sometimes it's the little things that can really get you down.

That certainly seemed to be the case for hundreds of film buffs today after a special screening of Back to The Future was cancelled for the second time.

The organisers, Secret Cinema, pulled the plug on the screening just two hours before it was due to go ahead, after cancelling yesterday's show with just 90 minutes notice.

Disgruntled ticket holders have been venting their frustrations online following the latest debacle.

Here are some of our favourite responses to the PR disaster:
