This perennially popular musical returns to the big screen to raise the roof and your spirits too!

Hugh Jackman dazzles as circus tycoon P.T. Barnum in this biopic featuring a timeless Pasek & Paul songbook including songs "A Million Dreams" and "Never Enough." The Greatest Showman, is inspired by the unusual life of Barnum & Bailey circus founder P.T. Barnum.

P. T Barnum (Hugh Jackman) strives to find an outlet for his ferocious imagination, pursuing a string of ill-fated ventures before finally setting up a circus show with never-before-seen acts to amaze his audience. His show proves controversial, but, after teaming up with playwright Philip Carlyle (Zac Efron) and acrobat Anne Wheeler (Zendaya), his popularity skyrockets.

But as Barnum vaults from triumph to triumph, he struggles to strike a balance between reality and spectacle.

Full of love stories and an important message about individuality, unforgettable musical numbers and dazzlingly choreographed sequences – this spectacle of a film is impossible to forget.

A Quiet Place is expanding its universe with an ambitious and incredibly moving prequel, fuelled by the starpower of Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn.

For those coming in fresh: A Quiet Place's creatures, whose origins were kept somewhat mysterious in the first film, have been revealed to be definitely alien. The second instalment confirms they fell from outer space, but the question of whether they came inside asteroids, spaceships, or another type of infested debris is still up in the air. Was their sudden arrival a planned invasion, or an unhappy accident?

Michael Sarnoski, director of the brilliant Pig and one of the writers of the previous two entries in this impressive invasion thriller series, takes over from John Krasinski as director of this sequel, which takes us back to the day the voracious monsters landed on Earth and replaced humanity at the top of the planet’s food chain.

Don’t expect your usual chaotic action alien invasion flick, come for an original monster story with a human heart.

Hugh Hudson’s exhilarating account of the struggle by Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell to compete on their own terms at the 1924 Olympics seemed to herald a new highpoint in British cinema.

“The British are coming!” screenwriter Colin Welland famously proclaimed, Oscar in hand in 1981. Based on a true story, Hudson's first feature won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Screenplay (by Colin Welland), Best Score (by Vangelis) and Best Costume Design (by Milena Canonero).

This rousing film is based on the mixed fortunes of two ambitious runners - Eric Liddell, a Christian missionary from Scotland who refused to run on Sundays, and Harold Abrahams, a Jewish athlete battling anti-Semitism. The struggles and triumphs of these very different but equally talented men make this one of movie history's best-loved sports films.

Back on the big screen to celebrate the 2024 Paris Olympics!

We are thrilled to announce a special Q&A session with renowned athletics coach and author, Tom McNab, following the screening. Gain unique insights into the making of the film.

This is a rare opportunity to engage with an expert who has first-hand knowledge of the world of athletics.

Yorgos Lanthimos further asserts his place in modern cinema’s pantheon with a three-part anthology, all displaying his funny, menacing, and unpredictable vision.

In present-day New Orleans, a businessman chafes against his boss’s extreme, inescapable micromanaging, a police officer suspects his long-lost, recently-returned wife has been replaced, and a cultist has to find a girl who can revive corpses. The strands never overlap, but shared moods, motifs, and a sense of life somehow twisting apart keeps them unnervingly close. Right after the triumph of Poor Things, Lanthimos reunites with his longtime co-writer Efthimis Filippou (Dogtooth, The Lobster) to revisit familiar themes – ordinary, insecure people at the mercy of absurd higher powers – with greater resources. These include a top cast, shared between parts to add further uncanniness: Plemons stands out as a submissive everyman with alarming depths.

This summer, the eagerly awaited sequel Inside Out 2 is set to push all of your emotional buttons!

Returning to the mind of now teenager Riley, headquarters seem to be undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected, but what could it be? That’s right, new emotions!

Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up – something we can all relate to. And it looks like she’s not alone.

Formulating a physical landscape from the erratic, mercurial and vivid emotions that govern all of us (and even more so as teens!) this one is for all the family.

Every good thing in this world started with a dream. From Director Paul King (Paddington), this wondrous story tells the tales of magician and chocolate-maker Willy Wonka.

Starring Timothee Chalamet as the eccentric inventor himself, this irresistibly vivid and inventive big screen spectacle will introduce young Willy Wonka, full of ideas and determination, daring to change the world one delectable bite at a time. Alongside Chalamet, the star studded cast includes Sally Hawkins, Matt Lukas, Rowan Atkinson and Olivia Colman to name a few – but not forgetting Hugh Grant who features at what we are told is the respectful size for an Oompa-Loompa!

See what sweet treats we have up our sleeve! With scenes filmed just a stone’s throw away at Verulamium Park, come and look back at the extraordinary inventor and biggest dreamer in the world of the sweetest confection!

Two lives. Two stories. One wall that divided them. Witness the historic moment over 70 years after the Holocaust when the son of the Commandant of Auschwitz meets an incredible survivor.

This timely and poignant documentary from Daniela Völker, follows Hans Jürgen Höss, the 87-year-old son of Rudolf Höss, as he faces his father’s terrible legacy. His father was the Camp Commandant of Auschwitz and masterminded the murder of over a million Jews; the life of Höss and his family was recently fictionalised in the Oscar-winning The Zone of Interest. Now, The Commandant’s Shadow tells the story of the real people who lived on site at Höss’s death camp.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime documentary that explores the relationships of a mother and her daughter, a father and his son, and the long shadows cast by the crimes that impact generations. It raises questions about love, guilt, and forgiveness, but is ultimately a much needed story of hope, acceptance, and compassion.

Jeff Nichols delivers another layered, luminous piece of middle Americana, on the fall of one of its major biker gangs and the bonds within it.

In 1960s Illinois, truck-driving family man Johnny is inspired by The Wild One to create a new community for the rootless men around him. As it grows across states and attracts less law-abiding members, it becomes harder to keep peaceful – and creates a further clash between him, his unpredictable protégé Benny, and Benny’s smart, determined girlfriend. Inspired by Danny Lyon’s classic, intimately researched photo-book of the Outlaws MC, writer-director Nichols (Mud, Loving) reimagines its history as an absorbing epic tragedy, which balances lyrical nostalgia for a lost world with an open eye for the violence beside it. Tom Hardy, Austin Butler, and Jodie Comer give magnificently accented and nuanced performances.

The mighty sequel to the revered gangster epic returns for its 50th anniversary.

Three years after violently gaining control of the family, Michael Corleone struggles to keep

his mafia empire out of crime with enemies on all sides – and when he is almost shot, these

become too close to home. Decades earlier, his father Vito escapes Sicilian violence for a

rich new life in America – but this proves just as hard to gain with clean hands. Expanding the already-immense crime saga in all directions, Francis Ford Coppola juxtaposes the

triumphant past and squalid present of the immigrant criminal family to make both even more

affecting. Impeccable performances (led by Pacino and De Niro), immaculate period settings, operatic music, luxurious scope and detail, and affecting tragedy all carry over or even improve, from the first film.

A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark and absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy.

Based on a stranger than fiction true story, Wicked Little Letters follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foulmouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town's women - led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) - begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.

A hysterical and honest account of the women who get imprisoned because of their nonconforming behaviour. Those who demand to be themselves in a society that advocates a specific kind of female behaviour.

Prepare for lift off with romantic comedy starring the dream team of Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson, set against the space race of the 1960s.

A sharp, stylish comedy-drama set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing. Marketing genius Kelly (Scarlett Johansson), is brought in to fix NASA’s public image. Sparks fly in all directions as her world collides and wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis’s (Tatum) who is already dealing with the difficult task of keeping America's mission to put a man on the moon afloat.

With public support for the programme at a low, Kelly is brought in to help "sell the moon".

As the two prepare to undertake a monumental task – filming a back-up to the moon landing in case the real mission fails – they find that they may just have more in common than they first thought.

This summer we are bringing back the most hugely anticipated blockbuster of 2023, and re-living our pink fantasy- that’s right, Barbie is back on the big screen! And what better location to view this ultra-stylish gal and her pals, than the sublime art deco surroundings of The Odyssey Cinema.  

To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you're a Ken.

Eccentric and individualistic, Barbie is exiled from Barbieland because of her imperfections. When her home world is in peril, Barbie returns with the knowledge that what makes her different also makes her stronger.

But the biggest question is – which Barbie are you?  It’s time to get out your pinkest outfits or dress as your favourite version of Barbie!

We want to see your best dress on the day. Our Odyssey Barbie has got a goodie-bag for the most ultra-stylish fashionista at this screening and she can’t wait to see what you are going to wear!  

It’s the summer of… 1963.

That’s right, grab your dancing shoes because we are taking it back to 1963 for a summer of fun and some Dirty Dancing.

Baby (Jennifer Grey) is one listless summer away from the Peace Corps. Hoping to enjoy her youth while it lasts, she's disappointed when her summer plans deposit her at a sleepy resort in the Catskills with her parents.

One evening, she is drawn to the staff quarters by stirring music. There, she meets Johnny (Patrick Swayze), the hotel dance instructor, who is as experienced as Baby is naive. Baby soon becomes Johnny's pupil in dance... and love.

So put your watermelons down and get the girls together! This summer classic packs in drama, comedy, and an iconic finale that will have you dancing all the way home – You’ll have the time of your life.

Elia Kazan’s long-canonised classic of union whistleblowing, featuring one of Marlon Brando’s top performances, returns to the Odyssey for its 70th birthday.

On the mob-ruled docks of New Jersey, ex-prize-fighter Terry Malloy is used to stop a colleague from testifying in court, and feels powerless to intervene when his boss has him murdered. The victim’s sister and a determined priest refuse to let it drop, and urge Terry to make a moral stand – but the mob’s power and his brother’s high place in it do not make this easy. Somewhat dubiously influenced by Kazan’s testifying against his communist former colleagues, the film still stands as masterpiece of moral struggle, kept gripping by a rare Leonard Bernstein film score, on-location cinematography combining realism and noir atmosphere, and Brando’s brilliant, deeply felt performance which remains emotionally penetrating.

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.

They set to work with their groundbreaking vision, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond. This astonishingly moving film is a balm for worrying times.

Featuring a pre-recorded Q&A after the screening.

This ode to stunt work based on the 80s TV series and personal experience, comes direct from real life stunt man and director David Leitch. This hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller is love letter to action movies and most importantly - The Fall Guy.

Ryan Gosling, who we all know and love as ‘just Ken’, stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie goes missing.

And while Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s (Emily Blunt) good graces, the mystery around the missing star deepens, pushing him to the edge of a fall far more dangerous than any stunt.

Fizzy, funny and a true romantic delight, The Fall Guy is a tribute to the craft of making big movies with big stunts, celebrating the (sometimes literal!) heights reached on the big screen.

Denis Villeneuve’s tone-perfect take on the landmark science-fiction novel returns to cinemas to complete the story.

Having lost his House and father to the vicious Harkonnen on the desert planet Arrakis, Paul Atreides takes refuge with the native Fremen people, finding love, power, and a new destiny among them. As the Empire closes in on them, Paul starts building a force to defeat them and free the universe – only to find himself powerless against greater, less tangible forces. Several years ago, Villeneuve adapted Frank Herbert’s absorbing, mystical, and multi-layered epic with all the scale, depth, and attention to detail it needed, but broke off its plot to do it full justice. Now, he concludes it with more of the same (along with even more cinema-demanding technical grandeur), bringing the story to its intense, devastating conclusion.

“Hey you Guys!” If you seek adventure, grab a ticket and join us!

Based on a story by Steven Spielberg, Richard Donner’s adventure is a classic slice of 1980s Hollywood. Many will agree, this film holds a special place in their hearts, with its thrilling storyline, memorable characters, and iconic moments that have stood the test of time.

When a gang of kids try to stop ruthless property developers from building a golf course on their beloved den they somehow get mixed up in an adventure involving treasure maps, cobwebs, skeletons, crazy gadgets, an underground grotto, murderous crooks and a pirate king called One-Eyed Willie! Can the Goonies survive Willie's booby traps and get their hands on the old rogue's hidden riches? Or will the scheming Fratelli gang get there first - and make our heroes walk the plank?

Celebrating one of the most iconic - and much missed - homegrown stars of the 21st century, painting a vivid, vibrant picture of the Camden streets she called home, Back to Black is Amys Story.

Starring Marisa Abela as Winehouse, the film follows the remarkable woman behind the phenomenon and the tumultuous relationship at the centre of one of the most legendary albums of all time.

From the Camden High Street to global adoration - and back again, crash through the looking glass of a celebrity to watch this journey from behind the mirror, to see what Amy saw, and to feel what she felt. This truly unflinching look at the modern celebrity machine and a powerful tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent, is not to be missed.

An unashamedly old-fashioned western; almost every cliché of the genre is lovingly excavated for the first chapter in Kevin Costner’s epic four-part western.

In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns, Horizon: An American Saga explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won – and lost – through the blood, sweat and tears of many.

Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America. The western has always been a genre about nostalgia, a document of its own twilight – Costner’s epic promises to be a golden throwback.

When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.

Inspired by a real-life experience of writer-director Josh Margolin’s own centenarian grandmother, Thelma puts a clever spin on movies like Mission: Impossible, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. With affectionate humour, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle themes of ageing, mortality, and human frailty. In the first leading film role of her over 70-year career, Oscar-nominated veteran character actor June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business — despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or loving grandson Danny (Fred Hechinger) might believe.

Writer-director Jason Yu makes an outstanding debut with this subtle, funny, and emotionally involving horror on the insidious perils of sleepwalking.

Newly married and happily expecting, Soo-jin’s comfortable relationship with her husband Hyeon-soo is threatened when he starts becoming a different, stranger person in his sleep. As this and mysterious noises keep building every night, Soo-jin vows to restore him before he can hurt their child  – but other surprises are in store for them. Previously an assistant-director for Bong Joon-ho, Yu already shows enormous cinematic skill with small resources, combined with well-earned scares, well-placed comedy, and a solidly acted study of relationship challenges against a constantly surprising plot. Bong has praised it as “the most unique horror movie I’ve seen in the last 10 years” and wants the audience to go in completely unprepared (…).

Get ready for a spectacular new chapter in the beloved "Despicable Me" series! The latest installment reunites us with Gru, Lucy, and their delightful daughters—Margo, Edith, and Agnes—as they embrace a chaotic addition to the family: the mischievous Gru Jr. His favorite pastime? Making life hilariously difficult for his dad.

But family antics take a backseat when Gru faces his most formidable adversary yet: the villainous Maxime Le Mal, accompanied by his captivating and dangerous girlfriend, Valentina. With their lives turned upside down, the family is thrust into an exhilarating adventure on the run, filled with unexpected twists and turns.

This new film introduces a vibrant cast of characters voiced by the talented Joey King, Emmy winner Stephen Colbert, and Chloe Fineman. Fans will be thrilled to hear Pierre Coffin once again lending his iconic voice to the Minions, while Oscar nominee Steve Coogan reprises his role as the steadfast Silas Ramsbottom.

Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of laughs, thrills, and heartwarming moments as the Gru family navigates this action-packed escapade.

Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Gareth Southgate in James Graham’s (Sherwood) gripping examination of nation and game.

The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win at their own game?

With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt, to take team and country back to the promised land.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Rupert Goold (Judy) directs this spectacular new play.

Christopher Nolan turns his impeccable vision on the father of the atomic bomb, making for a rich, human, and horrifying story on the dangers of playing god.

In the early 1940s, J. Robert Oppenheimer is making rapid, cutting-edge discoveries in the workings of the universe, when the U.S. makes him leader in a race to build a weapon strong enough to end the war. Eager to protect the people around him and achieve the impossible, he accepts – with no idea of the consequences he, or the world, will bring upon himself. Returning to WWII after the intense, intricate Dunkirk, Nolan combines his usual cinematic expertise to a thoughtful look at its science, history, and their consequences. His sharp, epic and ominous vision never lacks humanity, thanks to a cast led by the mercurial Cillian Murphy.

Celebrating 10 Years of The Odyssey Cinema, St Albans.

A regular staple in The Odyssey’s programme since we opened in 2014, it’s first outing as the third of four very special opening nights to our wonderful new patrons and longtime supporters.

Set in a small Sicilian town, the film centres on the friendship between a young boy,

Salvatore and an old man, Alfredo - a projectionist at the titular theatre.

The film score was composed by Ennio Morricone and his son, Andrea, marking the beginning of a collaboration between Tornatore and Morricone that lasted until Morricone’s

death in 2020.

A winner of awards across the world including Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, 5 BAFTA

Awards including Best Actor, Original Screenplay and Score, the Grand Prize of the Jury at

the Cannes Film Festival and many more. Come and be charmed by this cinema lover’s delight!

This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping, big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous – and destructive – forces.

From the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne and Indiana Jones series comes Twisters, a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the Oscar nominated writer-director of Minari, Twisters stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing, Normal People), Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone But You) and Anthony Ramos (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) as equal forces, with opposing motivations, who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes.

“If you feel it! …Chase it!”

What a time to be a Studio Ghibli fan!

With The Boy And The Heron scooping top honours at the BAFTAs, Oscars and Golden Globes, we’ve seen the Royal Shakespeare Company bring My Neighbour Totoro to life at the Barbican Centre, and watched Spirited Away get the West End treatment too.

Now, Totoro is coming back to the the big screen this summer with a re-release of Miyazaki’s seminal 1988 family favourite. It is a film that quickly began amassing a worldwide cult following in the years after its release, and the titular Totoro is very much a cultural icon.

The story follows a professor who moves house with his two young daughters, to be nearer his wife, who is recovering from an illness in hospital. Set in post-war rural Japan, one of the girls, Mei, befriends the nearby forest’s spirit creatures, particularly the cuddly (and jumbo-sized) Totoro. The film equivalent of a warm hug.

With the film that kickstarted the biggest franchise on the planet, and that continues to inspire generations of children and adults alike, join us at the Odyssey for a special trip back to a galaxy far, far away…

At its core, Star Wars is a simple story of friendship, resistance against tyranny and love conquering all. It’s one of the most archetypal films ever made, which is why it’s so unequivocally loved, and so endlessly rewatchable.

Luke Skywalker’s desire for a better life as he stares wistfully into the twin sunset on the sandy banks of Tattooine, backed by John Williams’ swelling, epic score, is a perfect microcosm for the film’s universality.

Whether it’s your first or fiftieth time seeing A New Hope, it will be an amazing experience, particularly on the biggest screen in St Albans. We hope to see you there, and may the force be with yo

A little-seen, genuinely frightening performance from Nicolas Cage forms the centre of Oz Perkins’s slow-burn serial killer horror.

In the Pacific Northwest of the 1990s, new FBI agent Lee Harker is tasked with decoding messages left by a mysterious, long-uncaught fugitive. Early success brings her closer to his grisly trail, and her own troubled past – and an ungraspable evil lying behind both. After earlier and smaller horror hits, writer-director Perkins (son of Psycho’s Anthony Perkins!) breaks out with an old-school, unpredictable descent-into-hell procedural, where focused character and investigation work give way to a baroque, otherworldly nightmare that defies easy laughter. Maika Monroe (It Follows) grounds the story as the young, smart, and vulnerable lead, while Cage is lightly used behind a web of blood and shadows, but leaves a satanic, unforgettable impression that fills the entire film.

Ryan Reynolds’s iconic take on the smart, shameless super-antihero waltzes into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with an explosive, irreverent buddy comedy, matched with Hugh Jackman’s classic metal-clawed mutant.

Bereaved, retired, and stuck as a used car salesman, Wade Wilson’s attempt to leave mercenary life ends when higher authorities enlist him in stopping a timeline-breaking threat. For help, he is paired with a similarly broken Logan – starting a dysfunctional, multiverse-muddling journey that promises new starts for both of them. Keeping the Zombieland and Deadpool writers while bringing on Free Guy director Shawn Levy, the film doubles down on Reynolds’s/Wilson’s refreshingly obscene superhero stylings while leading him into bigger, still-higher-budget worlds. Jackman matches him in wit and charisma while keeping his character’s dramatic depth, making for a romantic comedy packed with both rousing thrills and knife-sharp laughs.

Frequently ranked as one of the greatest films of all time, this sequel is a landmark cinematic achievement, complicating the characters of its predecessor to become an instant classic.

With the Death Star destroyed, Darth Vader is desperate to locate and annihilate the Rebellion once and for all. Hiding out on the frozen planet of Hoth, the rebels must evade destruction, whilst Luke Skywalker must traverse the galaxy in search of a new master.

Intercutting seamlessly between Luke’s Jedi training and Han, Leia, Chewy and the droids’ desperate flight from imperial attackers, The Empire Strikes Back has it all – romance, action, adventure, and a beautiful story at its core.

Directed by Irvin Kirshner and featuring many of the franchise’s most iconic lines and moments, this film demands the big screen treatment. Grab your lightsaber and your popcorn, and join us to unearth your inner Jedi.

André Rieu is back and is ready to blow you away with his brand new cinema concert ‘Power of Love’.

From his picturesque hometown of Maastricht The King of the Waltz presents a must-see, and where better to see this big screen spectacular than here at The Odyssey!

Accompanied by his world famous Johann Strauss Orchestra and a cast of hundreds this promises to be the music event of the summer by one of the world’s most prolific artists.

In a concert overflowing with passion André’s unique repertoire combines classical, musicals, pop and rock! Bursting with iconic film scores, beautiful waltzes, tear jerking ballads and unexpected chart hits - music has the power to unite and this is a concert for all the family.

Wim Wenders’s mythic, soulful modern western of a man searching for his lost loved ones returns to the Odyssey for its 40th anniversary.

Travis Henderson has wandered the Texas desert with no memory, voice, or possessions before his brother rediscovers him, and starts to remember a wife and young son he lost years ago. As he returns to his senses he sets out to rebuild his family  – but the weight of the missing years will not make this easy. Already established as a major German filmmaker with his Road Movie trilogy, Wenders became an international icon with this film. It combines a cinematic yet lived-in vision of 1980s Southwest America with Sam Shephard’s small, unsentimental, and endlessly moving story of personal redemption, brought to life by luminous performances from Harry Dean Stanton and Nastassja Kinski.

Capturing a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in late 1970s Ireland, That They May Face The Rising Sun is a sensitive and beautifully realised adaptation of the last novel by John McGahern.

Joe (Barry Ward) and Kate (Anna Bederke) have returned from London to live and work in a small, close-knit community in rural Ireland, close to where Joe grew up. He’s a writer, she’s an artist who retains part ownership of a London gallery. Now embedded in a remote lakeside setting, the drama of a year in their lives and those of their neighbours unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons.

A delicate, meditative exploration of ritual, community bonds, and the question of how best to live. An Irish masterpiece

Based on the best-selling novel and TikTok sensation.

The first Colleen Hoover novel adapted for the big screen, tells the compelling story of Lily Bloom (Blake Lively), a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business.

A chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni) sparks an intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love, Lily begins to see sides of Ryle that remind her of her parents’ relationship. When Lily’s first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), suddenly reenters her life, her relationship with Ryle is upended, and Lily realises she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future.

Guaranteed to be a hot ticket release this summer – don’t miss it!

We are delighted to bring you the new concert film of blur's historic show last year at Wembley.

A cinematic two-hour concert film immortalising the band’s historic 2023 show which saw blur perform their iconic and much-loved songs for 150,000 fans in a transcendent, once-in-a-generation performance that delivered a sweep of ecstatic 5 Star reviews.

In the epic conclusion to the Original Star Wars trilogy, see Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader come face to face under the watchful gaze of the mysterious Emperor…

With Han Solo frozen in carbonite, and Luke Skywalker frozen in despair over the recent revelation of his true father, all hope is seemingly lost for our daring heroes. With a new, double-sized Death Star looming over the galaxy, it’s a race against time to topple the Empire once and for all.

With lightsaber duels, planets and Ewoks galore, Return of the Jedi is the most action packed of the original trilogy, stacked with setpiece after setpiece and dramatic reveals as shocking the tenth time you see them as the first.

This ultimate feel-good adventure fittingly forefronts Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia, and draws the rebels’ bold battle against the Empire to a glorious and emotional close.

Matthew Bourne’s magical dance production of Edward Scissorhands has carved a place in the hearts of audiences worldwide since its premiere in 2005.

Based on the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his New Adventures Company return to this witty, bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world. Filmed live in March 2024 at the Wales Millenium Centre, Cardiff, this ‘visually arresting and ceaselessly inventive’ (★★★★★ Metro) production is ‘the perfect treat for all the family’ (★★★★★ The Times).

In a castle high on a hill lives Edward; a boy created by an eccentric inventor. When his creator dies he is left alone and unfinished with only scissors for hands until a kindly townswoman invites him to live with her suburban family. Can Edward find his place in the well-meaning community which struggles to see past his curious appearance to the innocence and gentleness within?
