Westworld

release: 23rd february 2026
available on 4k uhd and blu-ray

 

Welcome to Delos, the futuristic resort where, for $1,000 a day, wealthy vacationers can live out their wildest fantasies in hyper-realistic theme parks. In the Old West zone, friends Peter (Richard Benjamin) and John (James Brolin) saddle up for adventure, unaware that their dream holiday is about to turn into a nightmare. When a malfunction sends the park’s android hosts off script, the Gunslinger (Yul Brynner, in his iconic black-clad role) begins a relentless pursuit, obliterating the line between simulation and survival. 
Slick, suspenseful, and eerily prescient, Westworld combines a gripping man-versus-machine chase with thought-provoking questions about technology, control, and the price of playing God. Packed with atmosphere and memorable performances, this cult classic remains a landmark in genre cinema – a high-tech nightmare that never loses its bite.

Daniel Farson’s Guide to Britain: Volume 1

release: 2nd february 2026
available on blu-ray

 

Brash, bohemian and boozy, bon-vivant Daniel Farson became a larger-than-life fixture of Soho in the 1950s, socialising with the likes of artist Francis Bacon and photographer John Deakin. But he was also a ground-breaking investigative journalist, reshaping approaches to screen reportage with the many direct, dynamic independent television films he presented for Associated-Rediffusion in the late 1950s and early 1960s, finding widespread fame and acclaim. This three disc dual format set, running to over three hours – the first of two releases showcasing his most innovative, important, eccentric, odd and outstanding work – reframes a carefully-curated chunk of Farson’s now little-seen output. His eclectic talent is reflected in an abundant array of hugely enjoyable, fascinating films on all manner of matters topical to a post-war Britain undergoing complex, seismic social change. Join this vanguard intrepid investigator – paving the way for later programme-makers of the Louis Theroux school – as he twinkles a curious eye and lends a wry tongue to a glorious gamut of then-contemporary hot-potatoes: from Soho striptease, alien visitations and the Cavern Club in the afterglow of the Beatles, to witchcraft, the cult of celebrity and much, much more.

holy smoke

release: 23rd february 2026
available on 4k uhd and Blu-ray

 

The dream teaming of Hollywood A-listers Kate Winslet and Harvey Keitel take centre stage in this very human drama from Jane Campion (The Piano), which examines not only the human condition but life itself. Ruth Barron (Winslet) is on a journey to find herself, but her parents fear she’s fallen in with a cult. They hire P.J. Waters (Keitel) a professional “de-programmer” to help bring her back. But this seemingly easy assignment becomes the most difficult he’s encountered. With a sharp, satirical and sassy script, the movie is an intellectual battle of the sexes and becomes increasingly unpredictable towards the (quite literal) climax. Quirky and at times steamy, Holy Smoke contains intense performances from a cast at the height of their acting powers.
