The ultimate cinephile lineup is here:

Salò

release: 26 october 2026
available on 4k uhd

 

Banned, censored and reviled the world over since its release, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s final and most controversial masterpiece is presented here in a new 4K restoration. The content and imagery of Salò is extreme: it retains the power to shock, repel and distress. But it remains a cinematic milestone: culturally significant, politically vital and visually stunning.
Based on a novel by the Marquis de Sade – and taking as its setting the miniature fascist republic which Mussolini established in Italy – this is a film about power, corruption, and the degradation of the human body. It is a devastating, angry cry from one of the most controversial auteurs in cinema history.

futureworld

release: 19 october 2026
available on 4k uhd / blu-ray

 

Following the success of Westworld, director Richard T. Heffron expanded Michael Crichton’s techno-nightmare with Futureworld – a sleek, conspiracy-laced slice of 1970s science fiction that trades frontier thrills for post-Watergate paranoia in the age of automation. 
When reporters Chuck Browning (Peter Fonda, Easy Rider) and Tracy Ballard (Blythe Danner, The Great Santini) are invited to inspect the newly reopened Delos resort, they find a futuristic paradise promising safe, sanitized entertainment. But beneath the polished surface, troubling inconsistencies begin to emerge – and as suspicion turns to terror, the pair uncover a sinister conspiracy with consequences far beyond the park itself.
Stylish, suspenseful and packed with all-star turns – including the return of Yul Brynner’s implacable Gunslinger – Futureworld spins a compelling web of sci-fi intrigue, serving as a timely reminder that progress always has its price.

mermaids

release: 19 october 2026
available on blu-ray

 

It’s 1963, and America is in mourning following the death of President Kennedy. But Charlotte Flax – Winona Ryder, fresh from Heathers – has troubles of her own. It’s not just that this straight-laced teenager has started clashing with her more free-spirited mother (Cher; Mask, Moonstruck): other things are changing too – boys are more interesting, and life seems a little more complicated. With a sensational soundtrack filled with glorious pre-Beatles pop (not to mention Cher’s version of The Shoop Shoop Song, which lodged at Number One for five weeks), Mermaids is a warm and incisive coming of age story.

 

  • Archival & Extras: Image gallery, interviews: Stuart Wurtzel (production designer), ‘Never Judge a Mother’: video essay by Heather Wixson, trailers
  • Packaging & Collectibles: Double walled O-ring featuring original poster artwork, set of four collectible postcards, reversible sleeve featuring alternate artwork

Mr Benn: The Ultimate Collection

release: 26 october 2026
available on 4k uhd

 

For generations of children, some of television’s happiest memories began with a walk down Festive Road. From his home at 52 Festive Road, Mr Benn would make his way to the little costume shop at the end of the road, where, as if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared. A new costume, a magic door and another extraordinary adventure awaited. Whether he became a knight, a pirate, a clown, a cowboy or a spaceman, each episode carried him into a world of wonder before he returned home with a small souvenir in his pocket and a story to treasure. First broadcast on the BBC in 1971, David McKee’s gentle masterpiece turned a simple idea into something unforgettable. Narrated by Ray Brooks, Mr Benn never needed spectacle or noise to capture our imaginations. Across just thirteen episodes, its warmth, kindness and quiet charm have endured for more than fifty years, earning its place among Britain’s most beloved children’s television programmes. For many, Mr Benn is more than a television series – it is a cherished memory of childhood itself. A reminder that adventure could be found around any corner and that, somewhere behind an ordinary door, another magical world was waiting to be discovered. Welcome back to 52 Festive Road. This all new collection contains all 13 original episodes now restored from the original film negatives in 4K UHD,  and the 14th episode that was made in 2005 called The Gladiator. This 4-disc set also features English Subtitles.
