The Penguin Lessons is a heartwarming adaptation of Tom Michell’s bestselling memoir.

Set in Argentina in 1976, the film follows English teacher Tom Michell (Steve Coogan) as he arrives at a prestigious boarding school, only to find himself struggling with a nation in turmoil and a class of unruly students. His life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues a small penguin from an oil-slicked beach. Naming it Juan Salvador, Tom soon realises the bird is more than just a pet – it becomes a source of wisdom and transformation for him and those around him, including the school’s headmaster, Buckle (Jonathan Pryce).

Directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty) and adapted by Jeff Pope (Philomena), The Penguin Lessons is a poignant tale of friendship, resilience, and the surprising ways we find hope in difficult times.

Ralph Fiennes lends gravitas to the new Robert Harris adaptation: an operatic, thoughtful thriller on the race for the papacy.

Cardinal Thomas Lawrence wishes to leave the murky machinations of the Vatican, but is asked by the Pope to stay on, just before his death puts Lawrence in charge of choosing a replacement. Among candidates greatly differing in ideology and character, he must guide the electorate to a peaceful solution – but few will budge easily and every one has secrets.

Director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front) and writer Peter Straughan (Wolf Hall) adapt a standout entry in Harris’s halls-of-power political dramas, matching its gripping, intricate melodrama with cinematic flair and detail. Among spectacular supporting turns from Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini and John Lithgow, Fiennes provides a welcome centre of nuance, thoughtfulness, and much-tried faith.

Directed by Gia Coppola and featuring a Golden Globe-nominated performance from Pamela Anderson, who dazzles in the role of a lifetime, this poignant film of resilience, rhinestones and feathers is simply unmissable.

When the glittering Las Vegas revue she has headlined for decades announces it will soon close, glamorous showgirl Shelly (Pamela Anderson) must reconcile with the decisions she’s made and the life she has built as she plans her next act whilst also striving to repair the relationship with her daughter (Billie Lourd). With an outstanding ensemble cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song and Kiernan Shipka, The Last Showgirl is a joyous tribute to a long-gone Las Vegas – and all the women who made it glitter.

Before becoming a prestigious Shakespearean actor and seven-time Oscar nominee, Richard Burton was Port Talbot schoolboy Rich Jenkins.

Widely considered one of the greatest actors of his generation, Richard Burton was a global star with formidable talent and inescapable fame. Whilst studying at Port Talbot Secondary School, he was taken under the wing of teacher Phillip Burton, who helped to oversee Jenkins’ transformation into the stage and screen legend he will forever be remembered as.

This delightful film shines the spotlight on Mr Burton (played by ever-reliable Toby Jones), who takes a shine to his talented pupil and endeavours to help him have the theatre career he also sought for himself. Up-and-comer Harry Lawtey (Joker: Folie à Deux) stars as the young Richard Burton profoundly impacted by his schoolmaster’s tutorship. The film is also beautifully scored by composer John Hardy, nephew of Robert Hardy, a lifelong friend of Burton’s.

Twelve years after announcing his supposed retirement from film (and only a few months after his last film, Presence, released), Steven Soderbergh is still pushing the boundaries of the medium.

With one of the most eclectic filmographies of any major modern director (including Ocean’s Eleven, Solaris and Magic Mike), Soderbergh has no definitive genre, tone or style. Yet, despite being so prolific, he always manages to tell stories that are both emotionally engaging and deeply entertaining.

His latest film, Black Bag, is no different. A sleek, sexy spy thriller in which two married British intelligence agents (Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender) are forced to investigate one another, the film is a remarkable work of ever-rising tension and nail-biting action. Following a hiatus from acting to pursue driving in the European Le Mans Series, Fassbender’s performance is as assured and meticulous as ever.

Renée Zellweger returns as the beloved Bridget Jones, delivering her trademark wit and endearing chaos to life once more as she navigates her 50s.

Juggling single parenthood, a demanding career, and the ever-evolving world of dating, she finds herself drawn to a younger man (Leo Woodall), which brings both excitement and complications. Simultaneously, she forms a connection with her children's teacher, Mr. Wallaker (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Her close-knit friends – Shazzer (Sally Phillips), Jude (Shirley Henderson), and Tom (James Callis) – provide their usual mix of support and humour. The unexpected return of her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), adds further complexity to her journey. With its signature blend of romance, comedy, and heart, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is set to charm audiences.

Alex Garland and former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza recreate a platoon’s experience of the Iraq War in an astonishingly immersive, harrowing combat experience – filmed locally in Bovingdon Airfield Studios.

In 2006, an American unit sneaks into insurgent civilian territory to set up sniper cover – but one careless moment has them exposed to the enemy. With support dead or absent, fire coming from all sides, and comrades dying rapidly, evacuation becomes a hellish, minute-by-minute struggle. A visionary with larger science-fiction projects, writer-director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Civil War) narrows his focus to one small episode of modern war, recaptured with an unprecedented level of realistic detail, with no smooth cinematic distractions. He and Mendoza, his veteran co-creator, make us live every moment of the relentless, unpredictable terror that it offers, making for an experience as exciting as it is disturbing.

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival!

Four misfits – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry, Natalie and Dawn – find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination.

To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Director, Jared Hess, known for Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, brings his signature quirky style to this hugely anticipated blockbuster adaptation.

Rami Malek leads a new high-profile spy thriller, about a bereaved desk agent forced to turn assassin.

A CIA cryptographer’s life upends when his wife dies in a London terrorist attack, and festers when his superiors say they cannot prioritise investigating it. Instead, he uses his position to blackmail them into training him as a field agent – and sets off on a worldwide vigilante mission that will cost him, and his world, heavily.

From screenwriters Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down), Gary Spinelli (American Made) and director James Hawes (One Life), the film updates a classic 80s novel with a Bourne-like vision, combining epic scale and intrigue with tight, spectacular action. It also tells a moving story of one man tearing himself apart for the sake of revenge, played by Malek with outstanding detail and commitment.

Timothée Chalamet brings the young Bob Dylan to life in a nuanced, note-perfect biopic from the director of Walk the Line.

In 1961, a rootless 19-year-old songwriter arrives in New York to play for the ailing Woody Guthrie, and slowly becomes a giant in the city’s folk music scene. Fame, success, and love blossom after him as his music develops – but unease with familiar sounds and attention soon turn him into a more brilliant, and isolated, artist. Decades after his great take on Johnny Cash, co-writer and director James Mangold (Logan) reanimates the songs, streets and mercurial lives behind Greenwich Village’s sound, with faultless historical detail and a brilliant cast. Chalamet, however, dominates in his most committed turn yet, personally nailing Dylan’s look, sound, performances, and semi-divine distance from the world and people around him.

Based on the bestselling novel, The Friend follows writer and teacher Iris (Naomi Watts), whose quiet, solitary life in New York is thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor, Walter (Bill Murray), bequeaths her his beloved 68kg Great Dane.

The regal yet intractable dog, named Apollo, quickly brings both practical challenges — from destroyed furniture to eviction notices — and more existential ones. Yet as Iris unexpectedly forms a bond with Apollo, she begins to confront her past and rediscover her creative inner life, in a moving story of healing, love, and companionship.

A quintessential New York tale, The Friend features exceptional writing and emotionally resonant performances that celebrate the power of friendship, the process of grieving, and the unique comfort animals can offer.

François Ozon tells the moving and unpredictable story of a mysterious octogenarian grappling with her loved ones.

In a Burgundy countryside village, aging Michelle spends a family visit balancing her bitter daughter Valérie and beloved grandson Lucas, only to accidentally hospitalise Valérie with poisonous mushrooms. Badly isolated from them, she finds relief when her friend’s ex-convict son bonds with and defends her – but she holds secrets he is not prepared for. An established French master of comedy, drama, and the space in between, writer-director Ozon (8 Women, In the House) offers a genre feast: a gentle study of age and loneliness wraps around a subtle suspense over crimes past, present, and future. It’s also a layered family drama brought to life by the ensemble cast, where it is never quite clear who to side with.

From France, a small-scale, warm-hearted comedy of nuns entering a bike race in the Jura mountains.

In a small countryside village, the sisters of a dysfunctional convent find that their local hospice is falling to pieces and dangerously short of funds – and that only the cash prize for a 30km cycling race can provide them.

Against total inexperience, infirmity, and a fearsome rival convent, they throw themselves into training for it with every intention to win – trusting that, with God and each other, anything is possible. The last film of the late writer-director Laurent Tirard (Petit Nicolas, The Speech), he avoids biting satire or surreal farce for a grounded, gentle, and well-acted story of people coming together against the odds (and many, many falls), making for a delightful little film that doesn’t outstay it’s welcome.

Celebrated actor-director duo Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler reunite for their fifth collaboration, a dark supernatural horror set in the Jim Crow-era American South.

Ryan Coogler is one of the most adventurous big-budget directors working today. Having reinvented the Rocky franchise with Creed, and adapted Marvel’s Wakandan king to billion-dollar heights with Black Panther, Sinners is his first original directorial effort since his poignant debut, Fruitvale Station.

This ambitious, genre-crossing film boasts an impressive cast, including Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack. Fleeing a gang war in Chicago, they return to their hometown in the deep South, to start anew. Purchasing an abandoned mill from a white supremacist to set up a music hall, they soon find their lives consumed by a different kind of terror.

Shot on 65mm film and featuring gorgeous cinematography, this is not one to miss!

The profound true story of husband and wife, Raynor and Moth Winn’s 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline – with Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs starring in the lead roles.

After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to keep walking in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources and only a tent and the bare essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination. The Salt Path is a journey that is exhilarating, challenging, and liberating in equal measure. A portrayal of home and how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

Based on the prize-winning bestselling book of the same name – with over 2 million copies sold worldwide – you’ll be glad you caught this one on the big screen.

We are very pleased to bring you a special advanced preview screening on Fri 23rd May ahead of its UK release.

OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH takes viewers on a breathtaking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean.

The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.

Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

Screening in cinemas with theatrically exclusive footage.

In honour of the late Val Kilmer, we present the film that kickstarted his career and solidified his icon status: Top Gun!

Kilmer stars as Iceman in this incredible cult classic recently followed up by the Oscar-winning Top Gun: Maverick. Whilst Kilmer’s cameo in that film would have you believe they’d always been great friends, here Iceman and Maverick (Tom Cruise) are cast as bitter rivals contending for the Top Gun Trophy, before they’re deployed to confront a crisis over enemy waters.

Attributed with jumpstarting US military recruitment by 500% after its release, the film is an exhilarating adventure with a great, emotion-laden story to boot. Featuring gritty, tactile action on account of the real F-14s and aircraft carriers loaned by the Pentagon to the film’s production, Top Gun looks better than ever on our big screen.

Val Kilmer 1959 - 2025

DreamWorks Animation brings Dav Pilkey’s beloved children’s series to life in Dog Man, an action-packed animated adventure full of humour and heart.

When chaos erupts in the city, heroic but mischievous Dog Man (voiced by director Peter Hastings) must rise to the challenge, battling the scheming Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson) and the telekinetic fish Flippy (Ricky Gervais).

With the help of his loyal friends, including the Police Chief (Lil Rel Howery) and reporter Sarah (Isla Fisher), Dog Man sets out to prove that bravery comes in all shapes and sizes. Packed with slapstick gags, dynamic visuals, and the playful energy of its comic book origins, Dog Man delivers laugh-out-loud moments from start to finish, making it a riotously fun adventure for kids and adults alike.

From Oscar-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic tale of a life lived with boldness and passion.

Born in the Bay of Naples in 1950, Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta) searches for happiness amid the long, sun-drenched summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many unforgettable characters. But when tragedy strikes, and carefree romances lose their allure, she begins to seek a deeper sense of purpose.

Featuring a captivating performance by Dalla Porta and an outstanding cast that includes Gary Oldman, Sorrentino offers a vivid portrait of his childhood home — a lively, vibrant city open to the sea — a vision memorably depicted in his largely autobiographical film The Hand of God. Now, through this reimagining of the story of the legendary siren who became a Neapolitan deity, Parthenope continues his celebration of the city’s enduring allure.

The Marching Band, is a tender, resonant drama that places music and human connection centre stage.

When internationally renowned conductor Thibaut (Benjamin Lavernhe) discovers he was adopted following a medical diagnosis, he sets out to find his biological brother, Jimmy (Pierre Lottin), a cafeteria worker with a gift for the trombone. Though worlds apart in upbringing and circumstance, the two are united by a shared passion for music. As Thibaut attempts to help Jimmy realise his long-buried musical potential, he too finds new meaning in his own life.

Directed by Emmanuel Courcol, The Marching Band explores the power of brotherhood, the weight of social determinism, and the redemptive joy of second chances — with heart, humour, and harmony.

Six years after his Best Picture-winning Parasite, Bong Joon-ho returns with a blockbuster unlike any other.

Dissatisfied with life on Earth, Mickey Barnes decides to become an ‘expendable’. He’s put to work performing highly dangerous tasks on a distant human colony, and cloned every time he dies (17 so far). He soon begins to question his identity and the underlying ethics of a civilisation so willing to cut and paste its own subjects.

Mickey 17 isn’t Joon-ho’s first foray in science fiction, following 2013’s excellent Snowpiercer. Yet, like Mickey himself, the film defies any singular identity, hopping genres from one scene to the next by melding elements of black comedy, searing human drama and sharp political satire. Featuring a star-studded cast including an ever-reliable Robert Pattinson, and all the incisive writing and cinematography of Parasite, it’s one of the year’s few big-budget films based on an original idea.

Based on their award-winning short, Key, Basden, and director James Griffiths tell a stirring story of renewal, backed by a lovely soundtrack and beautiful Welsh settings. They also balance first-rate English sitcom humour with surprising emotional depth, enhanced by Carey Mulligan’s performance as the ex.

Newly arrived in the United States, from 1971-73 John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village, where they consumed an enormous amount of television and in the process developed a new form of protest.

This led to the legendary ‘One to One’ benefit concert held at Madison Square Garden in August 1972 to raise funds for Willowbrook, an institution in Staten Island for children with intellectual disabilities. This landmark performance was Lennon’s only full-length, post-Beatles concert. The film features remastered and restored footage and audio from the show, alongside video and audio recordings from the period, tracking the development of Lennon and Ono’s politicization against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Nixon administration.

Directed by legendary documentarian and filmmaker Kevin Macdonald (Touching the Void, The Mauritanian), the film is an immersive and intimate tribute to one of music’s most famous couples.

Wes Anderson loads an alternate-1960s spy caper with his usual flair, soul, and whimsical wit.

By his tenth near-fatal plane crash, Zsa-zsa Korda is ruling a massive arms, air, and infrastructure empire stretching across Europe – but nine grasping sons, and threats to his business from all corners, make his position uneasy. Settling everything on his nun daughter and with a dotty tutor for protection, he embarks on an epic journey to reconnect with her and protect his business. Writer-director Anderson harks back to the adventure films of yesteryear (e.g. Charade, Topkapi) in tandem with his regular style: intricate chocolate-box visuals, tightly controlled farce, and unexpected emotional depth. He also remains beloved by first-rate actors, with Benicio del Toro backed by a cast ranging from Tom Hanks as a rival tycoon to Willem Dafoe as “Knave”.

A documentary finally puts the story of the screen’s most famous Superman, and his incredible life after acting, in cinemas.

A gifted Juilliard student with classical aspirations, Christopher Reeve became a global icon early, even as fame isolated him from his family and other paths. When a horse-riding accident left him paralysed from the neck down, he found new life through the support of his loved ones – and through activism for the disabled, the chance to be an even bigger hero. With the support of those who knew him, directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui (McQueen) craft a thorough, polished retrospective for the actor and activist. Archive recordings of him and interviews with his family and friends leave no doubt that he possessed incredible strength and generosity, and in no film more than this one.

Ethan Hunt will stop at nothing to prevent a malicious AI program from falling into the wrong hands.

Under the adrenaline-fuelled direction of Christopher McQuarrie, the Mission: Impossible franchise has been revolutionised into an extraordinary series of unprecedented scope and death-defying spectacle. Now arrives the eighth entry in the series, in which Tom Cruise yet again willingly and gleefully returns to perform in-camera stunts no other major star would dare to attempt.

The Final Reckoning promises to be the most ambitious and adventurous mission yet. Shot across the globe in Malta, South Africa, Norway and the UK, its production budget quickly spiralled to over $400 million, making it one of the most expensive films ever made. Despite the series’ long history, the film can be enjoyed by fans and newcomers alike, and promises to be a thrilling adventure worthy of the big screen, should you choose to accept.

*Below cast list*:

NARRATED BY JESSIE BUCKLEY

In 1960, a young Irish woman named Edna O’Brien wrote a sexually frank debut novel, The Country Girls. She became a literary sensation, writing for The New Yorker, delivering provocative interviews, and authoring screenplays.

Her success enraged her writer husband and made her a pariah in her native Ireland, where her books were banned and burned. She would make her home in London, where she conducted numerous love affairs, hosted star-studded parties, and made and lost a fortune.

In July 2024, Edna passed away and this film provides a final testimony from her, aged 93, as she reflects upon her extraordinary life for filmmaker Sinéad O’Shea’s camera.

Granting the director access to her personal journals — read aloud in the film by the Oscar-nominated Irish actress Jessie Buckley — and with additional perspectives offered from Gabriel Byrne, Walter Mosley, Anne Enright and an array of renowned writers, Edna does not shy from any subject.

Blue Road is as candid, dark, and enchanting as O’Brien’s wonderful novels.

The next terrifying chapter in the Final Destination saga takes audiences back to the origins of Death’s cruel design.

Plagued by a violent and recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie returns home, convinced her visions are a warning. When a chilling pattern of fatal accidents begins to emerge, she sets out to find the one person who might help her unravel the truth and stop the deadly chain reaction. As long-buried secrets surface and fate closes in, Stefanie must confront the horrifying possibility that escaping Death was never an option. Each moment counts, and every near miss is just another turn in Death’s twisted plan.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a fresh, blood-soaked return to the franchise’s roots – where the past is fatal, and the future isn’t promised.

Following a prize-winning turn at Cannes last year, Louise Courvoisier’s sunny, rough-edged coming-of-age story in rural France arrives at the Odyssey.

18-year-old Totone’s days of drink and brawling are cut short when tragedy befalls his family, leaving him responsible for his younger sister and a failing dairy farm. Noticing a cheese competition with a lucrative cash prize, he plans to get rich using a rival’s award-winning milk – but as they grow closer, he starts to see more valuable things in his life.

A first-time writer-director, Courvoisier draws from her upbringing in Jura to deliver an authentic but large-hearted dramedy: one full of warmth, humour, and insight for its characters without ignoring their awkwardness and pain. They also come to life through an ensemble of first-time actors, led by Clément Faveau as the maturing protagonist.

Steven Spielberg’s timeless story of universe-spanning friendship returns for its 40th anniversary. 

In 80s suburban California, young Elliot feels alienated among his pushy siblings and abandoned mother, only to find the best friend he could ask for when a stranded alien hides in his shed. In teaching him about Earth and helping him call home, the two find a connection beyond words - but homesickness and the government closing in may force Elliot to sacrifice it.

Spielberg rooted the story in his own childhood and need for an imaginary friend during his parents’ divorce, creating a natural base for this spellbinding fantasy. The film establishes a nostalgic but convincing childhood setting through great performances, before elevating it through the magical special effects and score, all combining to make a classic, and devastating, tale of childhood connection.

Toni Collette is outstanding in the film that brought Abba back! – here at The Odyssey to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Socially awkward Muriel Heslop (Toni Collette) wants nothing more than to get married. Unfortunately, thanks to her oppressive politician father (Bill Hunter), Muriel has never even been on a date. Ostracised by her more socially adept friends, Muriel runs into fellow outcast Rhonda (Rachel Griffiths), and the two move from their nowhere town of Porpoise Spit to the big city of Sydney, where Muriel begins the arduous task of redesigning her life to match her fantasies.

Haven’t seen Muriel’s Wedding? Come experience it on the big screen at the Odyssey Cinema — and if you’ve seen it and love it, join us for a night of celebration, because “you can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life!”

From The World of John Wick: Ballerina

A ballerina-assassin seeks brutal vengeance for her father’s death.

Having previously demonstrated her action chops in a Havana rendezvous with James Bond in No Time To Die, Ana de Armas is a worthy lead for the first John Wick spinoff. Developed from a spec script by Shay Hatten, and directed by Len Wiseman, with additional scenes shot by franchise regular Chad Stahelski, the film features all the dynamically shot and intricately choreographed action that made the previous John Wick films so entertaining.

Ana de Armas plays Eve Macarro, a ballerina training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma. Offering insight into as-yet-unexplored corners of the John Wick world, the film promises to be a thrilling action adventure that won’t pull its punches or withhold a single bullet.

Agathe, a charmingly clumsy Parisian, dreams of Jane Austen-style romance but feels stuck — single, uncertain, and working at the iconic Shakespeare & Co instead of writing her own novel.

When she's unexpectedly accepted to a Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England, everything changes. As Agathe confronts her fears and explores her creative, romantic, and sexual identity, she realises it’s time to stop waiting and start living — and writing — her own love story. Jane Austen Wrecked My Life stars Camille Rutherford (Anatomy of a Fall), Pablo Pauly (The French Dispatch), and Charlie Anson (Death on the Nile), and marks the directorial debut of acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani.

A heartwarming, modern tribute to classic romance.

Slow West’s writer-director John Maclean finally returns to cinemas, with the story of a puppeteer samurai’s coming-of-age in 18th-century Scotland.

In 1790, a young girl helps her father with a travelling show across the lowlands, amazing crowds through dance, martial arts, and surreal marionette displays. Their travels lead them to stolen gold, and a criminal gang angling for it by any means, and so the girl must grow up and defend them by extreme measures. A decade after his last film, Maclean once again delivers a spectacularly idiosyncratic and exciting western, this time with Britain’s most otherworldly landscapes and bloody, elemental visuals. Crisp action and a strong multicultural cast, including Takehiro Hira (Shogun), Tim Roth, and Jack Lowden, bolster a sharp, simple, Kurosawa-esque story of a young woman forced into becoming a ruthless warrior.

British Invasion icons The Zombies reflect on paving 60 years and counting of their musical path from teenage friends to legends in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

This captivating documentary explores the band’s formation in the 1960s, their groundbreaking hits like “She’s Not There” and “Time of the Season,” and the enduring influence of their lush, genre-defying sound. Through rare footage, intimate interviews, and reflections on solo careers and reunions, the film offers a deeply personal look at the highs and lows of a remarkable musical legacy.

More than just a chronicle of a band, it's a tribute to resilience, artistry, and timeless harmony. Following the screening, join us for a special live Q&A with guests (full details to be announced) which will offer fans a chance to engage directly with this iconic story.

Having been rejuvenated on the small screen in the Emmy-nominated Cobra Kai, the Karate Kid franchise returns to cinemas in the biggest and boldest adventure yet!

When kung fu prodigy Li Fong relocates to New York, he is challenged by a local champion, prompting him to enter the ultimate karate competition. Mentored by Mr Han (Jackie Chan) and the legendary Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Li learns to adopt both their unique styles as he prepares for an epic showdown.

Set three years after the events of Cobra Kai, the film honours its enduring legacy whilst championing a new challenger for Karate Kid title. It promises to maintain all the heart and humour of its predecessors, whilst also pushing the series forwards to daring new heights that deserve the big-screen treatment!

For its 50th anniversary, the Odyssey hosts Kubrick’s masterful reimagining of the 18th century, and a self-serving Irishman’s struggle to thrive in it.

As Britain and Ireland are convulsed by the Seven Years War, Redmond Barry’s life collapses through duels and deceit, and he winds up fighting in it on the enemy side. Luck and further deception in Europe wins him an aristocratic marriage – but climbing English high society is more than his pride and temper can handle. After A Clockwork Orange and a failed Napoleon biopic, Kubrick transformed Thackeray’s rambling novel into a world of unprecedented detail and beauty, reviving the light, compositions, and cruelty of the setting to a flawlessly immersive degree.
