A great film to start off 2026. Looked good on the big screen!

The stakes have never been higher for Ethan Hunt and his IMF team. In this edge-of-your-seat conclusion to the legendary franchise, Hunt must track down a terrifying AI weapon—The Entity—before it falls into the wrong hands and reshapes the global order. Haunted by his past and facing his most dangerous adversary yet, Ethan embarks on a high-octane race across the globe. Witness the ultimate sacrifice and jaw-dropping stunts on the big screen. The mission ends here.

Our November 2025 film played to an almost full house; another great event, very much enjoyed by our audience, with the film viewed on the big screen instead of the TV screen!

Based on a remarkable true story, the son of a miner became one of the greatest actors the world has ever known, with the help of an unlikely mentor.

Port Talbot, 1942, and Richard Jenkins (Harry Lawtey) is a wayward schoolboy, caught between the pressures of his struggling family, a devastating war, and his own ambitions. But Richard’s natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton (BAFTA winner Toby Jones).

Richard thrives thanks to Philip’s strict tutelage and the guidance of kindly landlady, Ma Smith (Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville). However, as the acting world comes within Richard’s reach, the burden of his past risks his being held back.

This terrific film was much enjoyed by our loyal cinema attendees!

New York, 1961. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an unknown 19-year-old named Bob Dylan (Timothée Chalamet), from Minnesota, arrives in Greenwich Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement, refusing to be defined, making a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide.

James Mangold’s biopic follows the early career of the era-defining star, with Chalamet brilliantly embodying his shapeshifting allure.

A great evening: we showed the locally filmed Chuck Chuck Baby to a full house, and then had the pleasure of a Q&A with the film’s writer and director Janis Pugh. A thoroughly enjoyable screening!

This was a terrific film – and very well liked by our audience!

2025 is the tenth year of Halkyn Mountain Cinema! Many thanks to all of our cinema goers for supporting us.

Wonka was a marvellous confection indeed! Much enjoyed by our audience.

Our audience enjoyed our November screening. A really good film.

THE HOLDOVERS is a captivating Christmas story of three lonely, shipwrecked people at a New England boarding school over a very snowy winter break in 1970. The comedy stars Paul Giamatti as a teacher of ancient history who is universally disliked by students and colleagues; Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Mary Lamb, the head cook of the school, and Dominic Sessa as Angus Tully, a smart but troubled student. Left to their own devices in the empty school, there are adventures, a little calamity and, finally, a semblance of family.

Another enjoyable film – and not a dry eye in the house at the end!

Our audience enjoyed our screening of Oppenheimer.

We’ll be back in September with One Life – tickets go on sale in August.

An enjoyable evening was had by all – a full house for this screening!
