Airplane!
Crammed with slapstick, one-liners, and surrealist humour, this side-splitting spoof of 1970s disaster movies has become a much-loved comedy classic.
The Big Lebowski
The Coen Brothers cult classic comedy following a stoner getting mixed up with millionaires, nihilists, petty thugs, and artists. The Dude abides!
Hairspray
John Waters’ charming and accessible musical comedy starring Ricki Lake as a 1960s teenager vying to be the star of a popular dance TV show.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
