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 now

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 8 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 23 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 December 21

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. Part two will cover the remainder of Frank Herbert’s 1965 opus, and stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya alongside Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, Rebecca Ferguson, Christopher Walken, Lea Seydoux and other heavy hitters. We can't wait.


8. Wonka

In cinemas 14 December

Timothée Chalamet has a very busy year ahead on the big screen, as he steps into the offbeat shoes of a young Willy Wonka in this origin story. Going back in time, we’ll see Willy Wonka’s past, as a budding chocolatier as he crosses paths with the Oompa-Loompas. Wonka is being brought to life by none other than Paul King, who received huge critical success with his two Paddington films.


9. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

In cinemas now

Another one? That’s right! The Hunger Games franchise is back in full swing with The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Based on the novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins, this story follows a young Coriolanus Snow and his involvement in the Hunger Games years before the events of the original series. This new addition to The Hunger Games film franchise just came out in cinemas, so clear your schedule and get your snacks ready for a movie night you won’t forget.

10. The Iron Claw

In cinemas 18 January 2024

Jeremy Allen White and Zac Efron have teamed up to bring the story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers to life. Making history in the competitive world of wrestling in the 1980s, the brothers worked together through tragedy and triumph to reach their dreams of becoming the best of the best on the sport's world stage.
