ET – The Extra-Terrestrial

- 1982
- US
- 2h
- U
- Directed by: Steven Spielberg
- Cast: Dee Wallace-Stone, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote
For the 20th anniversary of this fable about a peaceful alien marooned on Earth, Spielberg dusted off his beloved original and re-released it in a new and improved form featuring digital tinkering (ET's eyes, for example, have been 'enhanced' to make him appear more alien) and never before screened scenes such as ET having a bath. But most interesting is the excision of all the firearms - the American authorities chasing ET and his human friend Elliot are now armed with nothing more threatening than mobile phones. There's something a bit precious about this kind of cleansing of the film. Still, as a fantasy adventure for kids and 'adult kids' alike, 'ET' remains some kind of modern classic.

The Favourite

- 2018
- Ireland / UK / US
- 15
- Directed by: Yorgos Lanthimos
- Cast: Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone, Nicholas Hoult
In the court of Queen Anne (Colman), power is wielded by Lady Sarah Marlborough (Weisz), but then Sarah’s young cousin Abigail (Stone) arrives. Brash, bawdy and beguiling, and a deceptively acute commentary on the nature of power, with career-best work from Weisz and Stone and a commanding performance from Colman as the ailing Queen.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

- 2019
- US / Australia / Denmark
- 1h 46min
- U
- Directed by: Rob Schrab
- Cast: Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Tiffany Haddish, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Stephanie Beatriz
Despite living in the Mad Max-style nightmare of Apocalypseburg, Emmet (Pratt) is still his cheery self—until his friends are kidnapped by the alien queen (Haddish). There are lots of good jokes and plenty of fun, but it’s not quite up to the magical original.

In 2008, this cinema was the subject of a campaign headed by Helen Mirren to 'save the Tivoli'. It has since got back on its feet and in 2011 upgraded to digital and 3D.
