10 New Films That Are Worth the Trip to the Cinema
These spectacular scenes deserve to be enjoyed on the big screen.
As much as we love getting curled up in bed and watching Netflix from the comfort of our own homes, sometimes it's nice to slip into something slightly less casual than your linen sleepwear and head to the big screen.
With the release of Barbie and Oppenheimer earlier this year, we fell back in love with the cinema experience. Whether you're long overdue for date night or are looking for a little solo adventure, these exciting new-release films deserve to be seen on the big screen.

1. Saltburn
In cinemas 17 November
This R-rated thriller narrates the story of Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan), a timid and socially awkward freshman at Oxford University, who forms an unlikely friendship with Felix (Jacob Elordic), a well-liked aristocratic student. Oliver quickly gets a taste of the glamorous life when he’s invited to Felix's family estate for a wild and unforgettable summer.
Directed by Emerald Fennel (Promising Young Woman), and starring Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, The Wheel of Time), and Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman, She Said) alongside Keoghan and Elordi, this visually spectacular flick is sure to have everyone talking.

2. Anyone But You
In cinemas Boxing Day
Another R-rated film coming to the big screen at the end of this month will be Anyone But You. The film is said to be a modernised adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, following the lives of Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell), two young singles who share an amazing first date, whose attraction towards each other quickly sours.
Much to their dismay, the two of them meet again at a destination wedding in Australia, where they pretend to be a perfect couple to appease those around them.

3. The Boy and the Heron
In cinemas 7 December
Anime fans will be delighted by director Hayao Miyazaki's most recent work. The Boy and the Heron is a semi-autobiographical fantasy that tells the story of a young boy named Mahito who struggles to settle in a new town after his mother's death. A heron who tells Mahito his mother is still alive prompts him to search for her in an abandoned tower which leads into a fantastical world. With a stellar English voiceover cast including Christian Bale, Gemma Chan, Robert Pattinson, Florence Pugh and Willem Dafoe, this magical film isn’t one to be missed.

4. Napolean
In cinemas 22 November
With Ridley Scott as the director and Joaquin Phoenix as the lead, we are immediately sold on Napolean. It tells the story of the French leader's rise to power and his relationship with Empress Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). With dramatic battle scenes and intricate costumes, this is definitely one best enjoyed on the big screen.

5. Priscilla
In cinemas now
Another film starring Jacob Elordi, Priscilla has been directed by the always-interesting Sofia Coppola (Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation). Starring Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla and Jacob Elordi as Elvis, the film takes us back to when the famous couple first met and gives us a glimpse into what life was like for both Priscilla and the King of Rock and Roll behind closed doors.

6. Perfect Days
In cinemas now
Sometimes, the simple things in life are worth celebrating. In Perfect Days, a deeply moving film that premiered at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, we follow Hirayama, a toilet cleaner in Tokyo who seems contented with his simple life, but is he? A co-production between German director and writer Wim Wender and Japanese writer Takuma Takasaki, Perfect Days is a poetic reflection on the beauty to be found in the everyday.

7. Dune: Part Two
In cinemas 15 March 2024
With the successful sci-fi release of Dune coming out in late 2021, the hit film is back with Dune: Part Two, set to be released in March 2024.

We can't wait.

8. Wonka

Wonka is being brought to life by none other than Paul King, who received huge critical success with his two Paddington films.
