Saturday 4th

Happy Birthday Matthew McConaughey!

Alright alright alright. It’s Matthew McConaughey’s 54^th birthday so why not celebrate by enjoying something from his back catalogue? If you’re in a light heartened mood go for comedy with a side of romance, courtesy of Fool’s Gold. Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is undoubtedly one of McConaughey’s best performances of all time. Or you could go back to his breakout role as a leading actor, in A Time to Kill. Let’s not forget his TV accolades, with his Emmy-nominated performance in season 1 of True Detective, and who remembers his cameo in Sex and the City?

Sunday 5th

The Matrix Resolutions - 20th Anniversary

Twenty years since the third film in The Matrix series was released. As good a reason as any to go back down the rabbit hole and re-watch from the beginning.

Monday 6th

Pennyworth: The Complete Series – DVD release

The DC origin series follows Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former British SAS soldier in his 20s, as he forms a security company in 1960s London and goes to work with young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge), who – as we know – goes on to have a son named Wayne. You can pre-order Pennyworth: The Complete Series on DVD, via the WBUK Shop.

Monday 6th

Happy Birthday Emma Stone!

Emma Stone turns 35, and we genuinely don’t need any excuse to watch her (and Ryan Gosling) fall head over heels in Crazy Stupid Love. Surely one of the best rom-coms in recent years?

Tuesday 7th

Elf - 20th Anniversary

It’s twenty years since Will Ferrell donned yellow tights and a green Elf outfit to spread his infectious Christmas joy. We’re taking this as a sign to get into the festive film spirit from right now.

Saturday 11th

Happy Birthday Leonardo DiCaprio!

Leonardo DiCaprio is entering the last year of his forties! We’ve got a range of his the glitzy The Great Gatsby, action thriller Blood Diamond, political thriller Body of Lies, biopic drama J. Edgar and mind-bending Inception.

Sunday 12th

Remembrance Sunday

Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) presents They Shall Not Grow Old, an extraordinary documentary showing the First World War as you've never seen it. Using state of the art technology to restore original archival footage that's more than 100 years old, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who were there. A truly special way to mark Remembrance Sunday.

Monday 13th

World Kindness Day

We’re celebrating kindness by looking back at some of the kindest characters that have graced our films. Dobby the unlikely hero in the Harry Potter films and lovable Chunk who befriends Sloth in The Goonies. You can’t get much more wholesome than Buddy in Elf or more dedicated than Alfred Pennyworth in the Dark Knight trilogy. Samwise Gamgee whose unwavering friendship gives Frodo the strength he needs in The Lord of The Rings, and lastly the inspirational – and real life – Bryan Stevenson in Just Mercy, who has dedicated his career in law to fighting social injustices. Which characters do you think of for being kind?

Friday 17th

Saltburn in cinemas

Academy Award winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) brings us a beautifully wicked tale of privilege and desire. Struggling to find his place at Oxford University, student Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) finds himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), who invites him to Saltburn, his eccentric family’s sprawling estate, for a summer never to be forgotten.

Friday 17th

Happy Birthday Rachel McAdams

Allie and Noah’s love story in The Notebook tugged on the heartstrings of millennials everywhere. Rachel McAdams birthday is just the excuse we needed to rewatch (and have a good cry over) the hugely popular adaptation of Nicolas Sparks’ novel.

Monday 20th

The Fugitive Anniversary

The Fugitive is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, with a brand new 4K release. Incidentally, it’s also our Film Club pick of the month! Harrison Ford stars as the wrongly convicted Dr. Richard Kimble, and Tommy Lee Jones is U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, his relentless pursuer.

Monday 20th

The Sandman – DVD/Blu-ray release

This hugely successful, big-budget series is getting its release on DVD and Blu-ray. After years of imprisonment, Morpheus embarks on a journey across worlds to find what was stolen from him and restore his power. Tom Sturridge is the King of Dreams, joined by a stellar cast including Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, David Thewlis, Gwendoline Christie and more.

Tuesday 21st

World Television Day

What a day to celebrate! There are some phenomenal choices to watch on the small screen, old and new. Will you choose something ground-breaking like The Sopranos or Game of Thrones, make it a laughing matter with Friends, or go for a critics’ choice with the likes of Euphoria and Succession?

Wednesday 22nd

Oppenheimer – DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Release

One of the biggest cinema releases of the year is available to buy from the WB Shop. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer thrusts audiences into the mind of physicist J.
