THE LINE-UP

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952)

DR. NO (1962)

Ian Fleming's immortal action hero blazes through one of his most spectacular adventures in Dr. No, with Sean Connery embodying 007 at his most suave.

BLACK NARCISSUS (1947)

Puncturing the repressed norms of '40s British cinema to grapple with faith and desire amidst a ravishingly recreated mountain setting, this delirious melodrama may be the most fierce (and, according to Michael Powell, the most erotic) of Powell and Pressburger's films.

From 19 July | Book Now

THE SEARCHERS (1956)

Underpinned by complex moral themes and bolstered by the spectacular vistas of Monument Valley, The Searchers follows a grizzled war veteran (a career-best John Wayne) on an obsessive odyssey.

From 26 July | Book Now

GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953)

Anchored by Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell's sparkling magnetism – and aided by its iconic 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' number – Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a delightfully entertaining treat of a '50s musical.

From 1 August | Book Now

REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955)

A tale of switchblades, speeding cars and teen torment, searing melodrama Rebel Without a Cause made James Dean a Hollywood icon.

Errol Flynn's movie-star magnetism is perfectly utilised in Michael Curtiz's radiant swashbuckler – a joyfully imaginative take on the legendary folk hero.

SUSPIRIA (1977)

Saturated with expressionist colours and punctuated by unforgettable moments of terror, Dario Argento's Suspiria is the quintessential example of 'giallo' horror from a master of the craft.
