It’s finally here! The highly anticipated fourth film in the beloved Bridget Jones series is coming out and can be seen at the Picturehouse from 13 February. Bridget has a new boyfriend… but he’s 20 years younger than her. Eek! What is more romantic than an unconventional love story with iconic rom-com characters? I for one am excited for Leo Woodall, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant to grace our cinema screens again. 

Anora

A young sex worker impulsively marries a reckless billionaire oligarch… what could go wrong? The only showing of this film is on 22 February so get your tickets quick.

Casablanca (1942)

Arguably one of the most famous romance films, Casablanca is coming to the Picturehouse for one night only to retell the story of Ilsa and Rick rekindling their connection throughout the hardship of the Second World War. Known for pulling at heartstrings, if you’re someone looking more for heartbreak than heart-thobs, it is one of the best classic films to catch on a big screen this Valentines Day.

Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
