Scott tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world
Hig sometimes heads off in his 1956 Cessna, where he can fish and pretend things are how they used to be. When a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life might exist if he flies a bit further. He risks it all to chase a possible haven in Grand Junction.
Based on Peter Heller’s captivating bestseller, The Dog Stars features a critically acclaimed ensemble with a scene stealing turn from Allison Janney.

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.
Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence
her.
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.
Following the immense success of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan now lends his craftsmanship to a truly timeless story.
The Odyssey is an adaptation of Homer’s monument of literature, and depicts the story of Odysseus and his long voyage home after the Trojan War, during which he encounters all manner of obstacles. Matt Damon steps into the role of our beleaguered hero, bolstered by a stacked supporting cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and Lupita Nyong’o just to name a few.
The film, true to its origins, is an epic story about the lengths we will go to make it home, with Nolan’s typically expert direction enveloping us in a textured vision of Ancient Greece. What better place to watch The Odyssey’s magnitude unfold than in The Odyssey itself!
Hugh Jackman refashions the English folk legend as a ruined killer struggling for redemption, in a luminously made epic that balances ruthless action with soulful character study. In 1247, an old man lives alone, fending off both tales of his outlaw heroism and the consequences of his many, actual, murders.
When Little John asks him for help with saving his family, a chance to better himself before the end appears – but an even crueller world, and more unexpected traces of his past, await him beforehand. Writer-director Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One) crafts a distinctly wintry, thoughtful, and small-scale addition to a particularly well-worn franchise. Vivid cinematography, character-based storytelling, and a fearlessly vulnerable and Logan-like Jackman all mark it out. It was shot in Northern Ireland: Nottinghamshire was, apparently, not bleakly picturesque enough.
Pedro Almodóvar returns to cinemas with another lusciously shot, brilliantly constructed, and movingly self-aware tragicomedy.
In 2004, ad director Elsa sets out to return to serious filmmaking in Lanzarote, while grappling with the overlooked relationships and tragedies of her past and their uncomfortable relationship with her work. In 2025, long-famed filmmaker Raúl begins writing that very story, using the people, relationships, and tragedies he knows best for material without asking permission – and with even more uncomfortable results. Now on his 24th full-length film after 52 years in the field, writer-director Almodóvar faces the difficult issues of his own stature and dizzying self-referentiality head-on. Here, he makes himself the centre of an ingenious, vivid, and penetrating melodrama, but one with a keen focus on his own personal failings. Bárbara Lennie stands out as his alter-ego’s alter-ego.

The world’s most famous drag queen AKA the Queen of Drag, Ru Paul (playing “President Gagwell”) is cat-walking to the silver screen in this brand-new disaster parody.
Featuring an ensemble cast of queens from the universe of ‘Drag Race’, two best friends and stewardesses (Jujubee and Ginger Minj) put their best work-appropriate heels forward to avoid trouble brewing down the tracks, where an oncoming “Stormaganza” waits for them further inland.
Directed by Adam Shankman (Hairspray, The Wedding Planner) and written by Christina Friel & Connor Wright (Hazbin Hotel), the film takes inspiration from parodies such as Airplane! and The Naked Gun, providing gag-worthy stunts and plenty of shenanigans that will give you LIFE! Shantay, you should stay in your seats for this one.

In the 72 hours leading up to D-Day, two men are faced with a choice that will determine the course of World War 2 in this biographical drama.
On June 2nd 1944, meteorologist Captain James Stagg is summoned by General Dwight D. Eisenhower to provide a forecast for an Allied operation set to commence in the next 61 hours. While Stagg’s analysis is less than favourable, tension mounts as higher ups demand that the operation go ahead regardless.
With a cast of powerhouse performers including Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, and Kerry Condon, Pressure is a fascinating and nail biting true story of an impossible decision.

Kiki’s Delivery Service is a joyous, heartwarming, and masterfully animated coming of age story, and one of Hayao Miyazaki’s finest films.
This iconic Studio Ghibli film follows the titular Kiki, a young witch who sets off to a coastal town to start a delivery service with her flying broomstick and her talking cat Jiji. As the townsfolk widen Kiki’s understanding of the world, she begins to grow anxious about her own abilities.
Like many of Miyazaki’s films, it’s a nuanced but tranquil depiction of the bridge between childhood and adolescence, yet it’s also full of fun, whimsy, and charm, all exemplified by Kiki herself. It’s also a stunning visual achievement, and well worth seeing on the big screen.
Saoirse Ronan delivers a career-best performance as Maria, a desperate teacher employed by a woefully underfunded school, in this jet-black comedy.
Newly single, scraping by in a run-down house and constantly undermined by her colleagues, schoolteacher Maria is rapidly approaching breaking point. When an unruly pupil continues to push boundaries – and her patience – a split-second decision sparks a chain of events that raises uncomfortable questions about responsibility, authority and the limits of patience. German director Jonatan Etzler holds a mirror up to the contemporary British school system, hilariously cutting through issues around care and discipline with some surprising and shocking twists. Bad Apples seamlessly blends satire, suspense and social commentary to ask how far any school would go to maintain an outstanding score from Ofsted.

When an ancient curse again threatens the Owens family, the sisters must uncover dark secrets, protect a new generation and discover what they are willing to sacrifice for one another.

Olivia Wilde returns to directing with a smart, nuanced, and brilliantly uncomfortable comedy of marital manners.
Seeking a release from constant stand-offs with her listless husband Joe (Seth Rogen), Angela (Wilde) invites the (audibly) much happier couple upstairs to a dinner party. She is bent on making it work; he won’t even try to help; they’re just happy to be there – and before long, various barriers start collapsing. Remaking Spanish hit The People Upstairs with screenwriters Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, Wilde builds on Booksmart with a grown-up, small-scale study of relationships, full of subtle visual and dramatic detail yet brilliantly farcical.
Mostly confining the four stars to a San Francisco apartment, they raise each other beautifully: Wilde’s manic energy dovetails with Rogen’s quiet frustration, crashing around a smooth but slippery Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton
Shaun the Sheep is back in his biggest and spookiest adventure yet!
After The Farmer accidentally destroys the sheep flock's pumpkin patch, Shaun hatches a plan to restore it by becoming a mad scientist, but when a wild beast begins roaming their village, Shaun and his flock set out to capture the monster and put a stop to its reign of terror.
As per usual, Shaun’s latest romp is sparse on the dialogue, but still full of witty visual gags, charming moments, and of course, the wonderful stop-motion animation that can only be produced by Aardman. What separates this newest film from its predecessors are the loving homages to classic horror films, echoing the pastiche that makes Wallace and Gromit so iconic. This makes Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom perfect family-friendly Halloween entertainment!

Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder star in this satirical, surreal psychological slasher.
“Camp Miasma” is a long-running slasher franchise, fueled by years of slap-dash sequels. When enthusiastic queer filmmaker Kris Williams (Einbinder) is hired to reboot the franchise, she becomes fixated on casting Billy Presley (Anderson) - the actress who played the final girl in the original film. But when Williams tracks down the reclusive actress, both women fall into a blood-drenched world of psychological and sexual chaos.
Jane Schoenbrun directs this psychological thriller, after their recent breakout success with I Saw The TV Glow in 2024, exploring similar themes of self-discovery and identity.

Bill Nighy leads an outstanding ensemble cast as an aging, irascible author facing off against his family.
After gaining literary stardom as a young man, Andrew Dyer is an alcoholic recluse, having alienated his wife and sons through an affair that produced another child. On suddenly inviting them all to his English mansion, conflict between them soon erupts – but they, and particularly Andrew, hide secrets that will turn the screw even further. Adapting the prestige novel by David Gilbert, director Pablo Trapero (The Clan) and screenwriter Sarah Polley (Women Talking) scale it back for a tense, unpredictable family drama, powered by a range of strong performances from first-rate names.
Nighy and Imelda Staunton raise each other to incendiary heights as the parents, but George MacKay and Johnny Flynn hold their own as the sons.

After the immense success of Weapons last year, Zach Cregger lends his dynamic horror storytelling to one of the most iconic and beloved video game franchises.
The film follows a medical courier named Bryan, who is making a delivery to Racoon City when he is suddenly faced with the horrors of a viral outbreak. Now battling for his survival, Bryan discovers that hordes of the undead are only the beginning of this nightmare.
After the action-oriented Milla Jovovich films, as well as two failed reboots, Cregger promises this adaptation will finally capture the nail-biting experience of playing the early Resident Evil titles, in which minimal weaponry and seemingly insurmountable odds create the terror. With an original story that runs parallel to the events of the games, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil looks to be a bold and bombastic thrill-ride for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Step into the wonderfully weird world of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, a riotous mix of gothic fantasy, mischievous humour and wonderfully macabre imagination.
When a recently deceased couple find themselves stuck haunting their own home, they turn to the one spirit reckless enough to help: the outrageous, foul-mouthed Betelgeuse.
Michael Keaton is unforgettable in the title role, surrounded by a brilliant cast including Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Catherine O’Hara and a young Winona Ryder. Packed with inventive practical effects, surreal set pieces and Burton’s unmistakable visual flair, Beetlejuice is as playful as it is peculiar. Add an irresistible soundtrack featuring Harry Belafonte, and you have a gloriously unpredictable comedy-horror classic that is still enormous fun to watch.

Three women. One sexist boss. And a plan to turn the tables.
Starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton as three colleagues pushed to breaking point by their overbearing and exploitative boss, Nine to Five follows Judy, Violet and Doralee as they discover they share the same frustrations. Their fantasies of revenge soon become something much more ambitious, resulting in a hilarious and surprisingly empowering tale of friendship, workplace solidarity and getting even.
With its infectious title song, memorable performances and perfect blend of comedy and social commentary, Nine to Five remains as entertaining today as it was on release. Beneath the laughs, the film takes aim at sexism, inequality and office politics, proving that sometimes the best way to change the system is to turn it upside down.
Just one month after its first half, comes the conclusion to Antonin Baudry’s huge retelling of the tense, many-sided struggle to free WWII-era France.
Having helped France cling on to its identity and will to survive from London, Charles de Gaulle must continue to marshal support against Nazi Germany from across the globe, not least from a newly entered America sceptical of his legitimacy. Alongside him, a young French prefect struggles to band the domestic resistance together and a general in North Africa prepares to fight a much larger Panzer force – and against fierce odds, a greater victory begins to seem possible. Made in tandem with the first half, director Baudry continues to add detail, depth, lesser-known stories, and moment-by-moment excitement to an oft-told history, while Simon Abkarian still shines as the droll, unsinkable general.

Brad Pitt proves the unbreakable bond with man’s best friend in this riveting survival thriller.
After surviving a harrowing plane crash, former Special Forces soldier James Belmont (Pitt) finds himself stranded in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness – accompanied only by his retired combat dog, Odin. Together they must fight to survive, battling the elements and journeying through the harsh Alaskan landscape!
Directed by David Ayer, the film marks the second collaboration between Ayer and Pitt, following 2014 war film Fury. Despite being set in Alaska, filming took place across New Zealand – including locations such as Queenstown and Fjordland!

Georgia Oakley's (Blue Jean) irresistible new take on Jane Austen’s iconic Sense and Sensibility is a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood.
When Mr Dashwood dies, his widow (Caitríona Balfe) and three daughters are left with next to nothing, forced out of their Sussex home and into a modest cottage. Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing) plays the steady, sensible Elinor, while Esmé Creed-Miles (Silver Haze) is her younger sister Marianne, all impulsive heart and no restraint whatsoever. Between them they fall for two very different men: George MacKay's (Rose of Nevada) quietly honourable Edward Ferrars, and Frank Dillane's (Urchin) dashing, unreliable John Willoughby.
Shot across genuine historic houses in Dorset, Knebworth, and Devon, this version leans fully into the scale and stiff-collared formality of the period while keeping Austen's wit intact.

Vincent Price stars in arguably the finest of Roger Corman’s cycle of Edgar Allen Poe adaptations from the golden age of the 1960s.
As a plague ravages the landscape of a small Italian province, the devilish Prince Prospero has secured a number of wealthy guests inside the sanctuary of his castle where they enjoy a lavish and decadent party all under the influence of the prince’s sadistic whims. But when a village girl (Jane Asher) is brought inside the castle after her village is ransacked, his diabolic faith is matched against hers in a battle of wills.
Co-starring Patrick Magee, Hazel Court, Skip Martin and Nigel Green with stunning cinematography from an up-and-coming Nicolas Roeg. The Masque of the Red Death is a baroque spectacle of classic horror and perfect for an early Halloween treat.

Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy star as the unforgettable Sanderson Sisters, three witches who bring magic, mayhem and plenty of laughs to Disney’s much-loved Halloween classic.

Alongside Halloween-loving Allison (Vinessa Shaw), Max accidentally brings the Sanderson Sisters back to life. With help from a magical cat named Thackery Binx (Jason Marsden), the children must outwit the witches and save Salem before their Halloween adventure gets completely out of hand!
Allow this unforgettable trio of enchantresses to put a spell on you this Halloween, and fight your hardest not to repeat their incantations! Still a sceptic? It’s time to get superstitious.

A brisk new French comedy explores the web of unfortunate events behind the world’s oldest theatre company.
A jewel of France’s cultural crown since its founding in 1680, the Comédie-Française prides itself on never cancelling a show – leaving its producer Nina in a bind when her lead actor fails to materialise. As the hours before curtain for Macbeth count down, a chain of accidents, grievances, liaisons, and fights continues to accelerate: soon only quick thinking, and possibly a miracle, can keep the show together.
From the creators of the sharp mini web-series Broute but starring the real theatre company’s players (one former director plays the lift boy), the film dissects stage prestige with rapid-fire wit, combining turbulent but grounded farce with a genuine love for the medium and the flawed, fractured groups keeping it alive.

Creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, The Addams Family have been delighting audiences with their wonderfully weird ways for almost six decades.
This Halloween, step inside their gloriously gloomy mansion for a family reunion that’s anything but ordinary. Starring Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia and Christopher Lloyd, this macabre comedy is packed with deadpan gags, eccentric characters and enough black humour to fill a graveyard. Gomez Addams’ world is turned upside down when his long-lost brother Fester (Lloyd) suddenly returns after 25 years in the Bermuda Triangle. Is he really Fester, or is something fishy afoot?
With its deliciously dark humour and wonderfully warped characters, The Addams Family is a riotous reminder that there’s no such thing as a normal family. And frankly, who’d want one?

Step into the sparkling world of My Fair Lady, where romance, wit and unforgettable music come together in one of cinema’s most beloved musicals.
Pompous but brilliant phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) accepts an audacious challenge: transform Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), a spirited Cockney flower seller, into a lady who can charm the most refined circles of London society. What begins as a bet soon becomes something far more complicated, as Eliza discovers confidence, independence and a new voice of her own.
But with emotions running high and a dashing aristocrat (Jeremy Brett) entering the picture, Higgins may discover that changing Eliza’s accent is considerably easier than winning her heart. Expect dazzling costumes, sparkling humour and unforgettable songs.
PLEASE NOTE: This screening is relaxed, there are no adverts or trailers, with reduced occupancy.

Welcome to the Overlook Hotel, a grand and secluded resort nestled high in the picturesque Rocky Mountains. Enjoy your stay - but remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…
Stanley Kubrick’s landmark psychological horror follows Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) as his appointment as the Overlook’s winter caretaker takes a sinister turn. Isolated from the outside world with his wife and young son, Jack gradually descends into violent madness as the hotel’s dark history begins to reveal itself. For behind its grand halls, empty corridors and seemingly silent rooms, something else may be lurking.
Although adapted from Stephen King’s acclaimed novel, The Shining is unmistakably Kubrick: meticulously composed, deeply unsettling and unlike any horror film that came before it. Shot at Elstree Studios, the film transforms the hotel into a haunting labyrinth where isolation, paranoia and the supernatural collide.
A quietly powerful true story of an amateur historian’s quest to uncover a long-buried injustice – by exposing what rightly became a national scandal, Catherine Corless changed Ireland forever.
Some discoveries can change everything. Frank Berry’s deeply humane drama — based on a tragic true story — chronicles Catherine Corless’ tireless search for the truth after the amateur historian uncovered the recorded deaths of 796 infants and children without corresponding burial records at the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Ireland. Driven by an unwavering sense of moral justice, Corless exposed one of the darkest chapters in modern Irish history and sparked a profound national reckoning.
As Corless’ inquiries were met with indifference, skepticism, and even resistance, she refused to abandon the evidence until it proved impossible to ignore.

Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic.
1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.
Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre, Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.
Tom Cruise is back and better than ever in this comedy of catastrophic proportions!
Wealthy oil tycoon Digger Rockwell (Cruise) is the most powerful man in the world. But when he is tasked with averting a global environmental disaster (that he may have been responsible for…), Rockwell must embark on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s saviour - before it’s too late!
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu (The Revenant, Birdman, Bardo), the film is already receiving Oscar-buzz, with Cruise in particular generating praise for his transformative lead performance. Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, John Goodman and Jesse Plemons are among the actors rounding out this star-studded cast!

Saved from studio axing by popular demand, the latest Looney Tunes film puts Wile E. Coyote in a battle against big business, shaking up the courtroom drama with timeless cartoon invention.
After years of failing to catch the Road Runner with Acme’s inventions, Wile E. is intrigued when an Albuquerque lawyer says he could sue the company for failing him. Refusing to take a settlement quietly, he launches a trial that could open a much bigger conspiratorial can – but Acme will not let its reputation slide easily, and the fight soon engulfs the whole human and cartoon world.
Based on an old New Yorker piece (updated, bizarrely, by May December’s screenwriter), the film perfectly captures the silly creative brilliance of Warner Bros.’ shorts, set against a human conspiracy thriller (one with an all-too-familiar corporate villain).
Andrew Garfield helms a raw, kinetic, and rousing account of the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt.
In England, life for the many has become unbearable after the Black Death, decades of foreign war, and ever-increasing taxes raised by a small elite. When a bereaved ploughman lashes out against them, he starts a conflagration of revolts that spread nationwide: before long, the country has been upended and its future anyone’s to decide.
Writer-director Paul Greengrass (the Bourne sequels, Captain Phillips) uses his expertise with both stripped-down action and historical trauma to retell a major chapter of English history: in his hands, it becomes a ferociously immersive political thriller, and gains a human face through Garfield’s deeply felt performance. Though a key venue of the Revolt, St Albans is sadly absent – indeed, the majority of the film was shot in Germany.

GIANT, the 5-star critically acclaimed play starring John Lithgow (Killers of the Flower Moon, The Crown) as Roald Dahl, comes to the big screen.
Winner of 3 Olivier Awards® including Best Play and a Tony Award® for Best Actor in a Play (John Lithgow), the production was filmed live in London’s West End ahead of its sold-out Broadway run. The stellar cast includes Aya Cash (The Boys, The Franchise, You’re the Worst), Elliot Levey (Cold War, Patriots, Good) and Rachael Stirling (The Divine Mrs S).
A world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends...It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
Inspired by real events, GIANT explores with dark humour the difference between considered
opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.

Only a year after his monumental film On the Waterfront, Elia Kazan directed this adaptation of John Steinbeck’s epic novel East of Eden, starring the inimitable James Dean.
Dean stars as Cal Trask, a young man lacking direction in his life, who spends his days vying for the affection of his religious father against his brother Aron. But when a secret about their long-lost mother comes to light, and Cal falls for Aron’s girlfriend, Abra, the tension within the family reaches a boiling point.
Elia Kazan was known as one of the most influential directors in classic Hollywood, and for his focus on themes with a social and personal significance. His immense skills as a filmmaker are present throughout East of Eden’s entire runtime, but it’s the ephemeral talent of James Dean, in one of just three major roles before his tragic passing, that gives this Steinbeck adaptation its punch.

Beloved by generations, The Sound of Music returns to the big screen as one of cinema’s most cherished musicals, a sweeping story of music, family and courage set against the stunning backdrop of 1930s Austria.
Julie Andrews stars as Maria, a spirited young novice sent to become governess to the seven children of the reserved Captain von Trapp. Through warmth, laughter and unforgettable songs, she brings joy back into their home and changes all their lives.
Directed by Robert Wise, this Academy Award-winning classic is rich in romance, resilience and soaring melodies - and, frankly, when the hills are alive, it would be rude not to join in. The Sound of Music is a heart-lifting big-screen experience for audiences of every generation to enjoy together.
PLEASE NOTE: This screening is relaxed, there are no adverts or trailers, with reduced occupancy.
