<b>Showing on the 57th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch.</b><br/><br/>Created from thousands of hours of footage, much of which has never been seen before, this cinematic masterpiece covers the Apollo 11 mission from launch to splashdown.

A spoof documentary of a hapless UK rock band
In our first of two films celebrating the life and works of Rob Reiner, we join hapless UK rockers Spinal Tap on a comeback tour of America where everything that could go wrong, does go wrong. Endlessly quotable, this documentary (sorry, <i>rockumentary</i>) put Reiner on the map and gave birth to a now-legendary band.

When a mysterious artefact is uncovered on the Moon, a spacecraft manned by two humans and one supercomputer is sent to Jupiter to find its origins.
Kubrick's masterpiece was a must-have for a space-themed EMF. '2001: A Space Odyssey' stands as a visually stunning masterpiece that creates overwhelming cosmic wonder through breathtaking cinematography and ambitious scope spanning human evolution. The thought-provoking narrative invites personal interpretation about consciousness and humanity's place in the universe. It's got HAL in it too.

Two of Aardman's most loved shorts, with Wallace the inventor and his long-suffering pooch, Gromit.

There they meet a little lonely robot and help it find happiness. And cheese.<br/><br/>Following that, The Wrong Trousers is our first encounter with super-villan Feathers McGraw.

The dramatised story of Apollo 13, the mission that nearly ended in disaster.
The thrilling true story of the Apollo mission that very nearly never made it home. Tom Hanks excels as Jim Lovell, trapped thousands of miles away in a barely-working spaceship. Ron Howard builds the tension to fever-point, even though we know the outcome.<br/><br/>We are proud to present this movie on an original 35mm print.

When a message is received from deep space, a young scientist is given the chance to be the first make contact.
Our final film is one of our most requested. Contact is adaptation of Carl Sagan's book on how we may encounter alien life. A message is received from deep space with instructions for a new type of craft. What follows is politics, lies and wonder. The cinematography alone make this worth a watch. How did they shoot the scene with the bathroom cabinet?
