Elf (PG)
Friday 21 December at 7.30pm
One of the most recent additions to the “Christmas Classic” cannon, Elf sees Will Ferrell at his childlike best, playing Buddy the titular Elf.
Accidentally transported to the North Pole as a toddler and raised to adulthood among Santa's elves, Buddy is unable to shake the feeling that he doesn't quite fit in. As the adult Buddy travels to New York in search of his real father, he finds only a cynical, workaholic businessman to be his dad. But can Buddy’s unrelenting enthusiasm win his new family over? And will Christmas be merry and bright?

Did you know?
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen Disney’s magical, animated tale grossed over $1.2 Billion worldwide, and also picked up two Academy Awards!
It's A Wonderful Life (U)
Monday 24 December at 2.30pm
A special screening of Frank Capra’s Christmas classic that never fails to bring a tear to the eye!
A staple of the festive season, Frank Capra’s bittersweet Christmas classic wasn’t always so popular. A relative Box Office failure, its re-emergence as a Holiday favourite is thanks largely due to the studio allowing its copyright to lapse, thus making it free to screen on TV from the 1970s onwards.
