Bong Joon-ho, for example, and Paul Thomas Anderson, and Lynne Ramsay… You probably have your own list of filmmakers whose new film you’d never even consider skipping. Well, today we’re going to try to add some more names – and some more films to your watchlist.

Watching Tom Cruise as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell recklessly yet gracefully maneuvering a jet through the air at incredibly high speeds never gets dull. But the original Top Gun is just 110 minutes long, and has become so iconic that many film lovers can probably recite the entire script from memory. They’ll have a whole new script to memorise soon, though, as the long-awaited sequel Top Gun: Maverick swoops into Regent Street Cinema on 25 May.

It’s time to go back to the Wizarding World. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore is almost upon us! In this new sequel, Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander, of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, has been given a mission that’ll take him around the world… and that got us thinking about all the other films about fantastic beasts and, well, where to find them. Grab a map, we’re going monster hunting – via some of our favourite creature features.

By design, Batman is one of the darkest superheroes. His whole schtick is dressing up as a icon of fear, to scare his enemies. Unlike Superman, who’s powered by the sun and strikes a reassuring figure, Batman is a creature of the night. There’s some complicated psychology there, which offsets the inherent silliness of the hallmarks the character comes with: the bat eared cowl, the gruff voice, the eyeliner… So what’s it like stepping into the Caped Crusader’s, well, cape? We’ve dug through the archives to see how the different actors who played Batman approached the role when it was their turn:

Awards season is upon us again! The BAFTAs will take place on Sunday 13th March, closely followed by the Oscars on Sunday 27th March – and the nominees have already been announced. And while some pundits will undoubtedly be able to say that they predicted the shortlists, for the rest of us, there are definitely some surprises.

Think of a murder mystery trope and chances are, Agatha Christie invented it. Her novels are full of amateur detectives, big country houses, and elaborately plotted twist endings. There’s a reason she’s one of the world’s best-selling authors – her mysteries are so well constructed that trying to solve them along with her sleuths is addictive. With Kenneth Branagh’s Death On The Nile hitting cinemas this week, what better time could there be to revisit some classic Christie adaptations? These are our favourites.

There are very few moments when you can completely switch off from the world around you. But going to the cinema on your own is one of the very rare times when you can switch off your phone, ignore your notifications and settle into your cosy velvety seat to enjoy the story playing out in front of you.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “projectionist”? Do you see a scene from Cinema Paradiso playing in your head, with little Salvatore sitting alongside Alfredo and watching, wide-eyed, as the film unspools? Whatever comes to mind, it’s likely to involve someone sitting in the dark, hunched over a film projector, 35mm film ticking steadily from one reel to another. But in the era of digital projection, the reality isn’t quite like that.

Where you watch the film has a huge impact on how powerful the experience is – surround sound and state of the art facilities, not to mention the big screen itself, transform the cinematic journey. But just how much is it to hire a whole cinema? You may find the business benefits of a private cinema outweigh the cost.

But with the recent pandemic and the need for space, film screening rooms are opening their doors to more people than ever before. So just how much is it to hire a cinema screen?

If you’ve ever had to take a detour around Leicester Square because one of the cinemas there was hosting a film premiere, you’d be forgiven for thinking all the glamour and flashbulbs belonged on the south side of Oxford Street. But take a stroll a couple of minutes’ north of Oxford Circus underground station, and you’ll find another hub of activity.

Have you seen the trailer for House Of Gucci? We’re willing to bet you have, and that you might even have watched it more than once. It’s set to be the must-see, must-talk-about film of November (and probably December, too). And that’s due, in no small part, to its star: Lady Gaga. Gaga’s transition from pop star to film star has been pretty spectacular. But maybe no-one should have been surprised. After all, pop stars are performers, accustomed to putting on a costume and transforming into another person. In honour of Gaga and House Of Gucci, here are 10 of our other favourite films featuring pop stars:

Chloe Zhao’s NOMADLAND is a serious achievement. It won Best Picture at the Oscars this year, as well as Best Actress for lead Frances McDormand and Best Director for Zhao. It was also awarded the BAFTA for Best Film, plus an entire trophy cupboard’s worth of other accolades – so many, in fact, that an entire standalone Wikipedia page had to be created for the “List of accolades received by Nomadland”. It’s safe to say, then, that the film is well regarded by critics.

In Nia DaCosta’s Candyman, Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighbourhood is haunted. There are so many ghost stories associated with the place, in fact, that you might wonder why anyone bothered to build new developments there instead of just burning it all down, salting the earth, and getting as far away as possible.

The world’s most famous secret agent is finally returning to our screens! In honour of the release, we thought we’d take a look back at the story so far. Who is James Bond? The international super spy has been portrayed by lots of different actors, all of whom had a slightly different take on him, according to their own personalities and to the desires of the audiences of the day. After all, 1962 was almost 60 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. So who is Bond? We dug into the archives to find out what each of those actors thought…

We’ve really missed being able to go to the cinema, and we know you have too. It’s not just a feeling – there’s cold, hard research out there that shows going to the cinema is the second most-missed activity we’ve all been denied over the past year or so. For teenagers and parents, it’s actually the thing they miss the most, ahead of going shopping, going to restaurants, or going to the pub.
