BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury's lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.
Sing-Along with Queen in this special screening with the song lyrics shown live on screen.

When commercial towing vehicle Nostromo, heading back to Earth, intercepts an SoS signal from a nearby planet, the crew are under obligation to investigate. After a bad landing on the planet, some crew members leave the ship to explore the area. At the same time as they discover a hive colony of some unknown creature, the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning, not a call for help. When one of the eggs is disturbed, the crew do not know the danger they are in until it is too late.

A look at the final days in the life of renown playwright William Shakespeare.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with director/actor Kenneth Branagh and writer Ben Elton.

This timeless, Oscar-winning classic is a phenomenally popular coming-of-age tale beloved by generations. Teenager Baby (Jennifer Grey), goes with her family on vacation to Kellerman’s holiday resort in the Catskill Mountains. Things are pretty tame until she meets Johnny (Patrick Swayze), a dance teacher at the resort who mesmerises Baby with his dance moves, his passion and his misunderstood ‘bad boy’ image. During the summer of 1963, Johnny teaches Baby how to dance. And, more importantly, how to love.

This charming adaptation of Truman Capote's novel, set in an idealised early-1960s New York, was nominated for several Oscars.
Audrey Hepburn stars as Manhattan good-time girl Holly Golightly, who spends her time at exclusive parties and on high-class dates. The carefree Holly – who remains uncommitted and aloof towards the wealthy men who shower her with gifts – strikes up a fragile relationship with her neighbour, the aspiring writer Paul Varjak (George Peppard). He is suffering from writers’ block while being kept by a wealthy woman (Patricia Neal).
But just as Holly and Paul’s romance begins to grow, Doc (Buddy Ebsen) appears on the scene and complicates matters, revealing the truth about Holly's past.

Inside Picturehouse's first episode of the year fittingly comes from our most futuristic, ambititous and largest new cinema: Ashford Picturehouse.
Highlights include The Favourite, Stan & Ollie, Colette and Beautiful Boy Film, plus news, events and an 'In Focus' on Picturehouse staple, Kids' Club.

With a transformational, Oscar-tipped performance by Christian Bale, Vice explores the epic story about how bureaucratic Washington insider Dick Cheney quietly became the most powerful man in the world as Vice-President to George W. Bush, reshaping the country and the globe in ways that we still feel today.

Happy new film day! The terrific Stan & Ollie, with Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as Laurel and Hardy, is out today! https://www.picturehouses.com/cinema/Crou ch_End_Picturehouse

One of the most critically acclaimed films of the 1990s, Schindler’s List retells the true story of Oskar Schindler (superbly played by Liam Neeson), a German Catholic industrialist who sought his fortune in the aftermath of the German invasion of Poland by exploiting his membership of the Nazi Party and cheap Jewish labour. But as the horror of the events surrounding him became apparent, Schindler risked everything to protect and save the lives of more than 1,100 Jews by she...ltering them in his factory.
Spectacularly shot in monochrome, the images are stylish, elegant, profoundly moving and increasingly more disturbing. Arguably Spielberg’s most passionate film, Schindler’s List is also one of his most restrained, avoiding the sentimentality that featured strongly in his previous work. It’s one of the best war films ever made, and ranks among the greatest pictures of all time.
