Film line-up:

The Jungle Book (PG)

Romeo + Juliet (12A)
Thursday 11 August
It’s been 20 years since Leo and Claire graced the silver screen as literary history’s most tragic, romantic duo. Amongst gang-fire and boomboxes, Luhrmann’s famously audacious take on this star-crossed love story is a whirlwind of hardball action, rowdy humor and rapturous romance.

Jaws (12A)

Feeling brave? Spielberg’s classic original shark attack movie is back to chew up the big screen! A master class in sustained tension, watch as a 28-foot monster terrorises hapless holidaymakers.

The Martian (12)
Saturday 13 August
Help is only 140 million miles away in this disaster-strewn voyage into the cosmos. Get ready for a scintillating sci-fi trip to the red planet with an award-winning performance from Matt Damon.

Stand By Me (15)
Sunday 14 August
Rob Reiner pretty much wrote the book on coming-of-age films with this superior slice of nostalgia about four inseparable friends, who go out in search of a dead body.
