True love is the most wonderful thing in the world. And if you’re looking for comedy, romance, fantasy, or a swashbuckling adventure, The Princess Bride delivers it all — making it a perfect choice for a Valentine’s Day watch.

Blending true love, edge-of-your-seat excitement, and sharp wit, this timeless ’80s classic only improves with each rewatch. Directed by Rob Reiner with a screenplay by William Goldman, the film is dotted with delightful cameos (sure to raise a smile as you spot familiar faces beneath their costumes) and brilliantly inventive comic moments.

As a young boy lies home sick in bed, his grandfather reads him the tale of a humble farmhand turned pirate, who faces countless dangers, foes, and friends on his journey to reunite with his one true love.

This fairy-tale fantasy is both knowingly playful and deeply heartfelt, and ultimately a film to be enjoyed by the whole family.

Eccentric New York socialite Holly Golighty is determined to marry a rich older man. But when a young writer moves in next door, her past threatens to get in the way.

Audrey Hepburn was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, an extravagant tapestry of life in late-50s Manhattan. Based on the novella of the same name by Truman Capote, the film finds the elusive Holly delivering messages for a mobster and courting a marriage with a Brazillian millionaire.

Her life is further complicated by the arrival of Paul Varjak, a struggling writer who becomes infatuated with her. One of the most iconic films of Hollywood’s Golden Age, much of the film’s imagery, lines, and aesthetics have informed the romantic comedy genre as we know it today.

When a bustling city of mammals is thrown into chaos as a mysterious reptile slithers into town and leaves puzzling clues at every turn. But have no fear, the perfect the team are on the case.

Get ready to think like a detective, cheer for your favourite heroes, and become part of the action!

Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

Their romantic affair begins in the woods, and their journey is characterised by the connection they have to the forest. Even when William strays off to the city to pursue his dreams, they always have a reason to come back to that same place.

Beyond nature, their children tether William and Agnes together despite their diverging paths. Bringing warmth, innocence and touching family-dynamics to the Shakespeare household are the young actors Jacobi Jupe as the titular Hamnet, Olivia Lynes as his twin sister Judith, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach as their older sister Susanna.

All this works cohesively with Zhao’s direction, creating a lethal tragedy that can almost rival Shakespeare’s work.

Ten years after famed magician troupe The Four Horsemen vanished from public life, they emerge from the shadows with three new recruits to steal a large South African diamond.

Magicians undertaking high-stakes heists proves to be a durable and highly entertaining concept, as the third entry in the Now You See Me series hits the big screen! This time, the Horsemen must emerge from retirement after a trio of rookie magicians stage a fake magic show impersonating them. This leads the whole group, rookies and masters, to be recruited to seal the Heart Diamond, the largest in the world. Join Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher as they aim for Feathers McGraw’s crown in this sleek, high-stakes heist thriller.

Timothée Chalamet is the one to beat as he goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness in this gripping, adrenaline-riddled solo debut from writer/director Josh Safdie.

Playing ambitious table tennis prodigy Marty Mauser, he barrels through a world of eccentric rivals, high‑stakes matches and personal turmoil, grounded only by childhood friend Rachel (Odessa A'zion). The supporting cast, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin O'Leary and Tyler, The Creator, adds depth and energy, making every encounter feel vivid and alive.

Already generating significant awards-season buzz for Best Actor and Best Picture, Marty Supreme is a thrilling, emotionally charged ride that fuses sport, determination and humanity with unrelenting momentum.

Return to Pandora and reunite with Jake and Neytiri’s family as their home approaches civil war.

A year after settling in with the Metkayina clan, Jake and Neytiri find themselves in conflict with the Mangkwan clan, whose fiery leader has allied with the malicious Colonel Quaritch.

The third film in the multi-billion Avatar franchise further ups the ante, with a 3.5 hour runtime and a $400 million budget. Shot simultaneously with its predecessor from 2017 to 2020, the film has undoubtedly one of the lengthiest production and post-production periods in cinema history. The results are astounding: a visually resplendent feast of riveting action and high emotional stakes that makes its epic length fly faster than a Mountain Banshee. James Cameron’s boundary-pushing films are a testament to the power of the cinematic experience - you’ll definitely want to see this on our big screen.

Please note we will be screening Avatar: Fire & Ash in the standard 2D format.

After his Oscar success with The Whale, Brendan Fraser returns once more, starring in HIKARI’s rich and heartwarming tale of a struggling American actor searching for a connection in Tokyo.

Phillip Vanderpleog (Fraser) lives in the Japanese capital. Looking for any work opportunities, he is employed by a ‘rental family’ company, which provides clients with actors who play stand-in roles of absent loved ones. The work offers Phillip possibilities, relationships and unexpected joy that were previously missing from his life.

However, things become complicated when the line between performance and reality is increasingly blurred, as Phillip immerses himself a little too much in the roles he is hired to play. HIKARI’s drama, which features an outstanding ensemble cast, is a profoundly moving and tenderly optimistic exploration of our need for connection, and a celebration of the beauty and wonder of forming a chosen family and community.

Jack Black and Paul Rudd charm in this hilarious meta-comedy remake.

Doug and Griff have been best friends since they were kids, and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favourite movie: the cinematic "classic" Anaconda.

When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation. The movie they’re dying to make? It might just get them killed.

This creature feature works best when it allows its two stars to lean into silliness – which it does.. a lot! – although it’s not quite Steve Martin’s similarly themed comedy Bowfinger, it shares more DNA with that movie than some silly giant snake.

Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried bring a smash-hit thriller novel to life, about a young domestic servant whose employers hold a horrible secret.

Stymied by her criminal record and reduced to living out of her car, Millie (Sweeney) jumps at the chance to work for a wealthy young family on Long Island. Living on site at their big, isolated home, she quickly bonds with her employers and the gardener despite odd behaviour from the mother, Nina (Seyfried) – but as she discovers more about the household’s difficult past, she becomes tied to it in ways that could be fatal. Working from an eBook that became a viral phenomenon, director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, A Simple Favour) preserves its simple, irresistible narrative drive on film, while Sweeney and Seyfried give it human substance as the sharp, troubled protagonist and smooth, even-more-troubled trophy wife.

Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio spearhead a raw, timely, and masterfully made thriller, about an ex-radical fighting to save his family.

On the fringes of a small Californian town, Bob Ferguson struggles to stay upright for his teenaged daughter Willa, and the hole left by her mother and his failed revolutionary comrades. When she disappears as a wealthy white-supremacist army threatens their home, Bob must rebuild his team, reckon with the past, and prepare for battle, as what really matters becomes clear.

Working with a much larger-than-usual budget (reportedly $130-175 million) from bits of cult Pynchon novel Vineland, Anderson applies his usual cinematic mastery to new ground. Inventive action set-pieces punctuate a funny, tragic and very relevant story of a literal culture war, and one man (a fearless and moving DiCaprio) trying to survive it.

He’s a young nihilist with a death wish. She’s a 79-year-old free spirit.

Harold is obsessed with death, orchestrating a series of fake suicides to the constant irritation of his high-strung mother, who is desperate to set him up with a suitable girl and get him out of the house. Whilst attending a funeral, he finds himself drawn to the highly eccentric Maude, with whom an unexpected romance blooms. Harold and Maude is an unforgettable set to an iconic Cat Stevens soundtrack.

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, discover the many sides of love as Harold and Maude remind one another of the value of living despite all the darkness in the world. Don’t forget to join us for the post-film discussion, where you can meet fellow cinephiles and enjoy a free tea or coffee!

Claire Foy stars alongside Brendan Gleeson in Philippa Lowthorpe’s beautifully realised and emotionally charged adaptation of Helen MacDonald’s award-winning memoir.

When Cambridge academic Helen’s father dies, the grief sends her spiralling into an abyss. In an effort to process her loss, she retreats from the human world to train a fearsome Northern goshawk. Foy gives an exceptional, career-best performance as Helen, while Charlotte Bruus Christensen’s cinematography and Sarah Finlay’s production design help Lowthorpe access the gravity and emotion of this story.

We are very pleased to bring you a special advanced preview screening on Sun 11 Jan ahead of its UK release.

Like the warmth of a familiar melody, there’s a quiet electricity humming beneath its surface, guiding every beat of this tender tale.

Based on a true story, the film follows Lightning & Thunder, two tribute performers whose devotion to the songs of Neil Diamond becomes both their anchor and their compass. As they navigate late-blooming romance, unexpected reinvention, and the awkward grace of second chances, the music grows into a shared language that steadies them when words fall short.

What unfolds is a gently glowing celebration of connection, artistry, and the brave delight of stepping into the spotlight long after life has tried to dim it. With humour, heart, and a whisper of stage-lights-at-dusk magic, the film reminds us that it’s never too late to chase the tune your heart insists on playing.

Before the Nuremberg trials, a psychiatrist evaluates Nazi leaders to determine whether they are fit to stand trial.

There have been many films about the infamous trials (not least Stanley Kramer’s Judgement at Nuremberg), which examined the countless crimes against humanity conducted by the Nazis. James Vanderbilt’s film approaches the subject from a psychoanalytical perspective. Is evil innate, or merely instructed?

As Douglas Kelley (portrayed with reliable precision by Rami Malek) interviews Hitler’s right hand man, Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), they engage in a battle of wits. Increasingly obsessed with understanding how any human could knowingly participate in the Nazis’ atrocities, the psychiatrist and former Luftwaffe commander develop a disturbing bond.

Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor unite for a sombre, luminous period love story between WWI-era musicologists.

In 1917, New England music students Lionel and David find a deep, instant connection after bonding over folk music, but are just as quickly parted by war and family obligations.

Two years later, they are able to bond again on a song-collecting trip across the woodlands of Maine – but wider circumstances and inner anxieties will make staying together a challenge. Director Oliver Hermanus (Beauty, Living) adapts two acclaimed short stories by screenwriter Ben Shattuck, making a slow, tender, and beautifully textured gay romance.

A wealth of distinct, underexplored scenes and songs across the film harmonise with the perfectly measured lead performances: beneath the solemn period stylings, Mescal and O’Connor indicate huge depths of feeling, making for an exceptional cinematic romance.

The first chapter in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic high fantasy saga returns to our big screen in its extended edition.

In a time before history, in a place called Middle-earth, a dark and powerful lord has brought together the forces of evil to destroy its cultures and enslave all life caught in his path. Sauron's time has come.

Assisted by a Fellowship of heroes, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) plunges into a perilous trek to take the mystical One Ring to Mount Doom so that it and its magical powers can be destroyed and never possessed by Lord Sauron.

Putting formula blockbusters to shame, Fellowship is impeccably cast and constructed with care and passion, re-energising the epic fantasy genre for the silver screen.

Rightfully winning multiple Academy Awards, it was the fifth highest-grossing film of all time upon its initial release.

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award® -winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

Bradley Cooper finds unlikely inspiration for his third film in the career of John Bishop, telling the warm, low-key story of a soon-to-be-divorced man restarting his life through stand-up.

Struggling with the amicable-but-awkward end of his marriage to a star volleyball player, Alex signs up for open mic at the Comedy Cellar to dodge the cover charge – and finds release, success, and community for the first time in years.

As his wife Tess finds new life of her own, both start reconsidering each other and how their marriage derailed, and working together for the best way forward. After the sumptuous Maestro, Cooper enlists writer Mark Chappell (See How They Run) for a funnier, gentler story of struggling marriage. Will Arnett and Laura Dern anchor the film with humour, tenderness, and astonishing chemistry as the leads.

A new biopic appears following caretaker and Tourette’s awareness activist John Davidson, and his astonishing fight to make himself and his disorder seen.

In 1980s Galashiels, a teenage John is starting secondary school when he begins “acting out”, in ways he can’t control and his family cannot cope with. As it alienates them and repeatedly devastates his life, he begins to find stronger connections and an understanding of a then-obscure condition – and with it, the chance to improve his and others’ lives. Made famous by the documentary John’s Not Mad, Davidson’s life is retold with modesty, sensitivity, and humour by writer-director Kirk Jones (Waking Ned).

A down-to-earth focus, first-rate performances (from a cast including Maxine Peake and Peter Mullan) and deep empathy give extraordinary weight to his journey, and astonishment at what he has accomplished.

The second half of the beloved musical revision of The Wizard of Oz finally comes to cinemas, showing how one outcast girl became Dorothy’s mortal enemy.

Once an upstanding student, Elphaba has declared war on Oz’s ruling powers to save its animal citizens, remaking herself into a feared and isolated rebel. As her best friend Glinda, becomes a beloved but compromised Good Witch, a confrontation seems inevitable.

Split into two to do the story full justice, director Jon M. Chu and co. sustain all the spectacular fantasy visuals, heartfelt performances, and showstopping music that made both the show and first film smash hits. Everyone’s love for the material shines even 22 years after its premiere – and with this, it should endure for some time yet.

Shakespeare’s OTHELLO rages to life like never before in a ‘compelling’ new production starring David Harewood OBE (Homeland, Best of Enemies), Toby Jones OBE (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Detectorists), Caitlin FitzGerald (Succession, Masters of Sex), Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point) and Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob).

Directed by Tony Award-winner Tom Morris OBE (War Horse, Dr Semmelweis, The Grinning Man) with music by PJ Harvey, this epic story of manipulation, jealousy and toxic masculinity explores the darker side of power, rage and desire. Filmed live at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London especially for the big screen, this is ‘an electrifying star-studded Othello.’

Park Chan-wook reasserts his cinematic mastery with the bleak, brutal, and hilarious tale of a corporate layoff resorting to eliminating his competition.

In South Korea, papermaking employee Man-su finds his prosperous life upended after a company buyout, with ravaging effects on his home, family, and marriage. Desperate to regain proper work, he still finds himself outqualified by others in the same field – and without any history of combat or violence, decides that eliminating them is the only way in. Working from late-90s American novel The Ax, writer-director Park (Oldboy, Decision to Leave) finds a resonant story of capitalism driving a man to murder, and upgrades it with his brilliant command of character, suspense, and surreal black-comedy spectacle.

South Korean star Lee Byung-hun also excels in the lead role, making Man-su’s journey at-once sympathetic, unpredictable, and riveting.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Now, these two greats are reuniting. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in March so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård star in this Cannes Grand Prix winner, which reunites Joachim Trier with Reinsve, his lead from The Worst Person in the World.

Two adult sisters navigate their emotional wounds and futures when their absentee father returns following the death of their mother. Trier tackles the journey of his characters with the gentle humour and a lived-in reality we’ve come to expect from his cinema.

Featuring sumptuous technical credits and sharp scripting, Trier once again excels in conveying the profound with the lightest of touch.

Martin Clunes balances his side turn in Wuthering Heights this month with another, very different rural English drama: an amiable West Country story of family brought together by real-ale-making.

After years away, young Cal returns to his Somerset village and struggles to reconnect with his family, as their small pub threatens to disappear without large and immediate funds. To survive, they decide to try brewing their own beer, and entering it into the national competition – while, hopefully, finding recovery from the past and new life together. The makers of Finding Your Feet and the Fisherman’s Friends films provide another unambitious but charming regional comedy, one that balances broad laughs, family drama, and a stirring underdog story. The story is buoyed no end by a great cast including Clunes, Mark Addy, and The Inbetweeners’ James Buckley.

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi front a bold, vivid new take on Emily Brontë’s timelessly stormy romance.

In the late 18th century, Catherine Earnshaw finds warmth growing up on the Yorkshire moors through her friend, the mysterious outcast Heathcliff, but they are soon torn apart when a well-heeled family takes her in. Heathcliff’s attachment, however, will not die easily – and as time and class keep pushing them away, it grows more dangerous than anyone can handle. Writer-director Emerald Fennell combines her bravura cinematic style (Saltburn, Promising Young Woman) and experience with famous romances (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella) for a new version of the classic novel: one as fierce, uncomfortable, and mesmerising as its own central romance. Yorkshire, astoundingly filmed by La La Land cinematographer Linus Sandgren, adds to its force and beauty more than ever.

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.

Having already made history for its box office success, Sinners recently became the most-nominated film of all time at the Academy Awards. With 16 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, it’s a cultural behemoth that simply cannot be missed on the big screen.

Sam Raimi is back and out for blood!

Forty-five years after The Evil Dead hit the silver screen, Sam Raimi returns to his roots with a (relatively) low-budget, high-octane, blood-and-guts-galore dark comedy horror film - Send Help.

It stars Rachel McAdams as you’ve never seen her before, as a disgruntled corporate strategist stranded on a desert island with her appalling boss (Dylan O’Brien) following a plane crash. What starts as LOST-level intrigue soon takes a turn towards the surreal, as Raimi’s signature frenetic filmmaking style kicks in, and gearshifts the narrative in an increasingly gruesome direction.

But, it’s not just violence for violence’s sake. Not only does the film highlight how far we will go to survive in a literal sense, but how carnal and self-destructive corporate work culture has become.

If you were trapped on an island with a terrible boss who just wouldn’t give you a promotion, how long would it take before you cracked?

The second installation of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings comes to our big screen this month (the extended edition of course)!

The Two Towers follows the continuing quest of Frodo (Elijah Wood) and the Fellowship to destroy the One Ring. Touched by that rare type of movie magic that strikes once a generation, the blockbuster-trilogy-hit is packed with extraordinary special effects, New Zealand scenery that beautifully evokes another world, and an exceptional cast.

Often labelled as the best of the trilogy, with hauntingly beautiful moments and moving scenes; the extended edition adds flesh to more of the characters, a cinematic dream for all fans of Middle Earth. An incomparable cinematic achievement, the world Peter Jackson and his team place us in, is rich with imagination and the fantastical.

Rose Byrne gives a mesmerising performance – earning her first-ever Golden Globe’s win – in Mary Bronstein’s high intensity exploration of the complexities of motherhood.

Therapist Linda feels overwhelmed with the pressures of everyday life, particularly as she struggles to navigate her child’s mysterious illness with a singular lack of support from her absent husband. On the edge of exhaustion, she tries to stay afloat with the help of her hostile therapist (Conan O'Brien) and her new neighbour (A$AP Rocky), in this unflinching and claustrophobic, yet deeply affecting and darkly funny drama.

Nominated for Best Actress in both the Baftas and Oscars this year, this is an awards-worthy performance not to be missed.

With a row of awards and a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s fascinating historical thriller wins him a still bigger audience.

In 1977 Recife, ex-professor Armando reunites with his son and in-laws under the pall of Brazil’s military dictatorship. A new job lets him search for traces of his censored past, while finding connection with fellow dissidents – but simultaneously, hitmen are tasked with hunting him, leaving him precious little time and fewer exits. Well-established as one of Brazil’s leading filmmakers, Mendonça (Aquarius, Bacurau) spreads his wings further, seamlessly balancing 70s action and intrigue with an absorbing and beautiful study of the past’s vulnerability under totalitarianism. Wagner Moura (Pablo Escobar from Narcos) delivers a similarly masterful performance as the stoic lead, and Udo Kier stands out in the last role before his death.

A flashy, tongue-in-cheek hyper-pop mockumentary, The Moment is Charli xcx’s creative reflection on her own meteoric success with brat.

Directed and co-written by “360” music video director Aidan Zamiri in his feature debut, the film has a stylishly effortless rhythm and a uniquely self-aware, ironic sense of humour. Charli xcx plays an exaggeratedly manic version of herself, surrounded by a cast of characters that mirror both the friends and foes of the era. Hailey Gates and Alexander Skarsgård personify near-diametrically opposed influences in Charli xcx’s dynamic career; pieces in the grand scheme of brat’s enduring cultural power.

Behind the satire and Charli xcx’s celebrity is an earnest and heartfelt expression of the weight of success, the price of legacy, and the fight to preserve artistic integrity.

This film contains strobe effects.

By order of the Peaky Blinders: the self-exiled king (Cillian Murphy) shall face his most explosive reckoning yet in this epic feature, from series creator Steven Knight.

Four years after we said goodbye to the Shelby clan in the series finale of Peaky Blinders, Tommy Shelby and his crew of Birmingham mobsters are returning in a new feature film. Joining the line up of familiar faces are Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth and Barry Keoghan.

During World War II, Shelby returns to a bombed-out Birmingham and becomes involved in secret wartime missions – based on true events – facing new threats, as he reckons with his past and rising national stakes.

The Coen Brothers’ hallowed comedy returns to The Odyssey - and we’ll be serving White Russian cocktails at the bar once more!

The serene, work-free life of “The Dude” is upended when thugs defile his beloved rug, just as an identically named millionaire’s wife goes missing. With this, he is thrown into an unbelievably bizarre criminal underworld, all while fighting to win the local bowling championship with his trigger-happy friend Walter. Chiefly beloved for its ever-shaggy protagonist - whom Jeff Bridges reportedly based on and directed himself - the film is also a prime example of its writer-directors’ distinctive style, combining poker-faced surrealism, sharp written comedy, and vivid, sinister landscapes into rich, self-contained worlds that bears repeated visits.

In the end, the tricky plot, impeccable acting, and spectacular interludes all give way to The Dude’s seductive lifestyle, where only the simple joys of bowling, alcohol, and needless arguments matter. Come and release your inner dude - bathrobe optional!

The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands Must Be the Heart.

In an urban dystopia stylised with Art Deco futurist aesthetics, Freder and Maria seek to deconstruct the vast class divides in their city.  Perhaps the most well-remembered of the Weimar period, the film was produced during a period of vast social change, hyperinflation, and the emergence of new ideologies in present-day Germany.

Directed by pioneering Austrian filmmaker Fritz Lang, Metropolis is an irreplicable science-fiction epic. Perhaps the cornerstone of German expressionism, this silent film is undoubtedly one of the most influential science fiction films ever made.

Join us at Britain’s best Art Deco cinema for a post-screening discussion about this landmark film, with a free cup of tea or coffee!

Lights out. Silence. Detention begins - Odyssey style. Five teens. One Saturday. Zero chance it goes as planned. Join us at The Odyssey for a big-screen celebration of John Hughes’ definitive ’80s high-school classic, The Breakfast Club.

Starring Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, and Judd Nelson, the film drops five wildly different students into an all-day detention in their school library. At 7:00am, they arrive as stereotypes with nothing in common and even less to say.

But as the hours crawl by, walls come down. Secrets spill. Labels crack. Unexpected bonds form in the unlikeliest places.

To the outside world, they’re the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook.

By the final bell, they’re something more—something real.

They were, are, and always will be… The Breakfast Club.

In a new cinematic concert experience from visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, Elvis tells his story – in his own words – like never before.

Baz Luhrmann’s bombastic technicolour and sound showcase of Elvis Presley is the second film from the Australian director, following 2022’s Elvis, to explore the man and his music. This time Luhrmann presents the results of his extensive research conducted before he made his award-winning biopic, remixing archival material with never-before-seen footage from the singer's legendary residency in Las Vegas.

Part documentary where the only storyteller is Elvis himself, using his own words, and part concert film, the larger than life spectacle of his performances, behind the scenes moments and off guard comments tempered by Elvis's easy-going, tenderly flippant charm are a joy to experience.

Tim Key and Tom Basden write and lead a small, warm-hearted comedy about a tired musician brought to life by his millionaire fan.

Herb McGwyer is a folk singer far from his ex-bandmate, partner, and glory days, and obliged to play a concert just for Charles, a double lottery winner, on a remote private island. Awkwardness mounts when said partner is invited, just as a storm traps them all there – but Charles’s adoration, their beautiful surroundings, and an old spark might inspire one of Herb’s best performances yet. 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.

Jessie Buckley follows her dramatic triumph in Hamnet in a bold new direction: a singing, dancing Bride of Frankenstein in the gangster age.

Forced to hide from a hostile public in 1930s Chicago, artificial human “Frank” asks his creator for a companion, finding one in a recently-murdered young woman. On waking up, she decides to turn the city upside down in search of justice: for both herself, and everyone in Chicago forced to hide in the shadows. Building on her own prestige breakout hit with The Lost Daughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes a familiar horror icon and builds a wildly imaginative, action-stacked, and unpredictable story around her. A top-drawer cast including Jake Gyllenhaal, Penélope Cruz, and Christian Bale keep the action believable, and Buckley relishes her new star power as the vampy, gun-toting, and irreverent immortal.

In Disney and Pixar’s all-new animated comedy adventure Hoppers, animal lover and Beaverton University student Mabel (voice of Piper Curda) seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals.

As she uncovers mysteries in the animal world beyond anything she could have imagined, Mabel befriends charismatic beaver, King George (voice of Bobby Moynihan), and must rally the entire animal kingdom to face a major, imminent human-threat: smooth-talking local mayor Jerry Generazzo (voice of Jon Hamm).

Hoppin’ to the Odyssey, this Easter!

This brilliantly unconventional comedy remains one of Britain’s most beloved and controversial films.

Written and performed by the legendary Monty Python troupe – Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin – the film is packed with sharp wit, absurdity, and unforgettable characters.

Following Brian Cohen (Chapman), an ordinary man mistaken for the Messiah, the film hilariously skewers religious dogma, political fanaticism, and human gullibility. Along the way, Brian encounters a host of eccentric figures, including the pompous Pontius Pilate (Palin), the revolutionary Reg (Cleese), the lisping Biggus Dickus (Idle), and his overbearing mother (Jones), who delivers the iconic line, “He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!”

Its biting humour and fearless irreverence cemented it as a national icon, despite initial bans. Decades later, Life of Brian remains an endlessly quotable, riotously funny watch, proving that its satire is as sharp and relevant as ever.

Now a highly successful Broadway show soon to be revived on the West End, experience the magic of Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra’s Golden Age classic musical on the big screen!

Jazz musician C.K. Dexter Haven (Crosby) is still hung up on his ex-wife, socialite Tracy Samantha Lord (Kelly). Now, Tracy is engaged to another man (John Lund), but when reporter Mike Connor (Sinatra) shows up to cover the wedding for his magazine, he can’t help but fall in love with the beautiful bride-to-be. A classic love triangle (love square!?) unfolds, as Tracy must choose the most suitable suitor before she walks down the aisle.

Featuring unforgettable show tunes such as “True Love” and “You’re Sensational”, the film is a gorgeous celebration of jazz and love, featuring three titans of cinema history at the top of their game. The film also notably marks Grace Kelly’s final professional appearance before she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco.

A quietly powerful reflection on faith, love, and the endurance of long partnership, Midwinter Break follows a retired couple as they embark on a transformative trip to Amsterdam.

Directed with remarkable control by theatre stalwart Polly Findlay in her film debut, and adapted by Bernard MacLaverty and Nick Payne from MacLaverty’s own acclaimed novel.

The film unites Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds in a deeply affecting portrayal of connection and distance. MacLaverty calls it “a story of two young people who got old and they have fallen out of step.”

Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).

goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?

prescient play.

Mount Doom looms over Sauron’s legions in Mordor. The epic conclusion to Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is here.

In bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's nearly unfilmable work to the screen, Jackson benefited from extraordinary special effects, otherworldly Kiwi settings, and an exceptionally well-chosen cast. Perhaps the greatest achievement of all was his screenplay adaptation. Alongside co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, preserving Tolkien's vision and often his very words,  whilst making logical changes to accommodate the medium of film.

Winning big at the Oscars (including Best Picture!) and the box office, Return of the King is beloved across the board, and for good reason: it’s utterly epic! Whilst the film doesn’t (and couldn’t have) replicated Tolkien’s vision word-for-word, the sheer scale that Jackson achieves on screen throughout this final entry in the trilogy makes it a landmark cinematic achievement.
