We launch our new season with a fantastic comedy that all the family will enjoy.
Lifelong friends Willie (Morgan Freeman), Joe (Michael Caine) and Albert (Alan Arkin) decide to reject retirement and step off the straight-and-narrow when their pension funds become a corporate casualty. Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, the three men risk it all by embarking on a daring adventure to rob the very bank that absconded with their money.
Catrin left her home in the Welsh valleys for love. Her artist husband Ellis (Jack Huston) specialises in self-important daubs depicting industrial blight. His canvases are a tough sell. Which is why, when – for reasons that could have been more persuasively developed – Catrin is offered a job at the Ministry of Information’s film division, she jumps at the chance.
The year is 1940, London. With the nation bowed down by war, the British ministry turns to propaganda films to boost morale at home. Realizing their films could use “a woman’s touch,” the ministry hires Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) as a scriptwriter in charge of writing the female dialogue. Although her artist husband looks down on her job, Catrin’s natural flair quickly gets her noticed by cynical, witty lead scriptwriter Buckley (Sam Claflin). Catrin and Buckley set out to make an epic feature film based on the Dunkirk rescue starring the gloriously vain, former matinee idol Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy).
Loving Vincent, a film that uses van Gogh’s canvases as both form and function, animating them into a saga tracing his last days in Arles, where he made his greatest artist breakthroughs, to his stay in Auvers-sur-Oise, where he died in 1890 after shooting himself in the torso. The story turns into a murder mystery that revisits his suicide from multiple angles, with a young man named Armand Roulin (Douglas Booth), who was the subject of several portraits by the artist, serving as both detective and narrator.
We’re pleased to announce arguably our strongest ever line up of crowd-pleasing delights!
Florence Foster Jenkins (2016, PG)
Friday 13 January

The Daily Telegraph
Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016, 15)
Friday 17 February
★★★★
“With more laughs and bush challenges than an episode of I’m a Celebrity…, this is a charming and quietly quirky film that succeeds not because of big-budget special effects, but its moving yet witty script.”
The Daily Mail
★★★★
“A big-hearted picture full of magic. Off-kilter charmer.”
The Observer
★★★★
“Comic dynamite.”
The Guardian
This raucous comedy from New Zealand struck home with cinema goers across the globe on its release, even scooping the audience award at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival. The film tells the story of defiant city kid Ricky, who gets a fresh start in the countryside with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella and the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Sam Neill). When Ricky is threatened with moving to another home, he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family.

Sully (2016, 12A)
Friday 28 April
★★★★★
“It is a superb film, as crisp as a stone, and staged and acted with an
absorbing and unshowy cinematic fluency.”
The Daily Telegraph
You might recall that on 15 January 2009 the world witnessed the ‘Miracle on the Hudson’ when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career. These events are captured with thrilling and clinical precision by director Clint Eastwood, and the ever reliable Tom Hanks’s portrayal of Sully is almost certain to be in the running for Best Actor at the Oscars.
