Snakes on a plane
Snakes on a planerelease: 19th january 2026
available on 4k uhd and blu-ray
A viral sensation before it even finished shooting, Snakes on a Plane was one of the first major Hollywood films shaped as much by internet buzz as by studio edict. Stuntman-turned-director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2) delivers a delirious high-concept thriller that gleefully melds the disaster movie with creature-feature excess.
Samuel L. Jackson (Deep Blue Sea) is FBI agent Neville Flynn, escorting a key witness in the case against a ruthless crime lord on a commercial jet from Hawaii to Los Angeles. But at 30,000 feet, justice takes a backseat when the mobsters unleash a writhing cargo of venomous snakes into the cabin. With passengers dropping like flies and the cockpit compromised, Flynn and a ragtag band of terrified travellers are forced to enter a fight for survival against nature’s deadliest stowaways.
Outrageous, shamelessly entertaining, and featuring one of the most quotable lines in cinema history, Snakes on a Plane is an instant cult classic that more than earns its reputation as one of Hollywood’s craziest action-disaster movies.

captain blood
release: 26th january 2026
available on 4k uhd
With this spectacular romantic adventure, a new era of Hollywood swashbuckling was born, as was a devilishly dashing star named Errol Flynn. He brings boundless charisma to the role of an idealistic Irish physician who, declared a traitor to England and sold into slavery in the New World, takes his revenge by transforming himself into the notorious pirate Captain Blood. The groundbreaking symphonic score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, marking the emergence of the Warner Bros. music department as a vital element in the studio’s moviemaking; the spitfire chemistry between Flynn and Olivia de Havilland in the first of their iconic pairings; the rousing naval-battle finale – all come together under the expert direction of Michael Curtiz to form an exemplar of classic film craftsmanship sailing full speed ahead.

From martial arts master Chang Cheh and co-director Pao Hsueh-li comes The Delightful Forest, a ferocious Shaw Brothers tale of honor, vengeance, and explosive retribution. After being imprisoned for avenging his family’s disgrace, legendary hero Wu Sung (Ti Lung) befriends a compassionate prison officer who spares him from certain death. When a corrupt thug known as “Door God” seizes his friend’s tavern, Wu vows to repay his debt – and restore justice – the only way he knows how: through unstoppable, bone-crunching combat. Brimming with Chang Cheh’s trademark intensity, Ni Kuang’s sharp storytelling, and stunning action choreography by Lau Kar-Leung (Drunken Master II), The Delightful Forest delivers heroic bloodshed, loyalty, and pure Shaw Brothers spectacle at its finest.

under siege
release: 5th january 2026
available on 4k uhd and blu-ray
Action icon Steven Seagal serves up his signature brand of bone-crunching justice in Under Siege, the ultimate 90s action spectacle from director Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), co-starring Tommy Lee Jones (Black Moon Rising) and Gary Busey (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) at their most unhinged.
When a gang of mercenaries hijack the USS Missouri during its farewell voyage, their plan is simple: steal the ship’s nuclear warheads and hold the world to ransom. But they’ve overlooked one tiny detail, the ship’s cook. Unfortunately for them, Casey Ryback (Seagal) isn’t just any cook… he’s a one-man army with a taste for mayhem.
Packed with explosions, knife fights, and more one-liners than you can count, Under Siege is a gloriously over-the-top blast of 1990s action, now available in a stunning new director-approved restoration that packs a hell of a punch!

Cinema Expanded: The Films of Frederick Wiseman
release: 26th january 2026
available on blu-ray
With a groundbreaking career spanning seven decades, Frederick Wiseman is one of the great American storytellers. His documentaries, shot vérité-style, are meticulously edited narratives chronicling life’s complexities through rich portraits of social and cultural institutions. Wiseman’s themes are expansive: democracy, power, inequality and community, to name a few; but his focus is compellingly specific and humane. Whether revealing shortcomings in social support or celebrating culinary excellence, he has a unique eye – and ear – for detail.
Representing their first release in the UK, this 3-disc / 5-film collection features a selection of Wiseman’s work made between 1967 and 1975, including Titicut Follies, High School and Juvenile Court. Titicut Follies (1967, 84 m), High School (1968, 75m), Hospital (1970, 84m), Juvenile Court (1973, 144m), Welfare (1975, 167m).

the dead
release: 26th january 2026
available on 4k uhd
The elegiac last film by John Huston finds the legendary director adapting a masterly short story by his favorite writer, James Joyce, into a poignant reflection on the totality of life. During a snowy winter in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Dublin, the members of an extended family convene for a night of wine, song, and celebration – but it’s not until after the festivities that Gretta (Anjelica Huston) reveals a secret to her husband (Donal McCann) that casts the entire evening in a new light. Aglow with a mix of nostalgia and melancholy, and featuring a cast of stellar Irish actors, The Dead gracefully evokes the passage of time and the haunting power of memory.

When a series of Supreme court judges are murdered, inspector Rogas (Lino Ventura, Army of Shadows) is sent to discover the truth. A procedural noir soon turns to a labyrinthine conspiracy in which corruption and institutional power converge. An investigative thriller by a titan of the form, Francesco Rosi (The Mattei Affair) brings Leonardo Sciascia’s (The Day of the Owl) novel to the screen with urgent relevance, set to a haunting score by Piero Piccioni (The Tenth Victim) and featuring legendary stars Charles Vanel (The Wages of Fear), Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) and Fernando Rey (The French Connection).

release: 26th january 2026

Peter Sellers stars as John Lewis, the small-town Welsh librarian who is offered an escape from his mundane life and henpecked-husband routine when councillor’s wife Liz (Mai Zetterling, The Witches) takes a shine to him. Alas, none of their carefully calculated schemes for a romantic tryst come to fruition thanks to a series of comic complications. Based on the Kingsley Amis novel That Uncertain Feeling, Only Two Can Play is a biting, finely observed farce with a supporting cast including John Le Mesurier and Richard Attenborough.
