Festive film favourites return to Showcase Cinemas

Warm up this Christmas as a range of festive favourites return to the big screen at Showcase Cinemas nationwide.

‘Tis the season for romance this winter, as the ensemble cast return to the big screen in Love Actually in celebration of the film’s 20^th anniversary (from November 24^th). In the mood for more rom-coms? Unlucky in love Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet embark on a transatlantic journey to escape heartbreak in The Holiday (from December 8^th).

Also celebrating its 20^th anniversary this year – the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear – Elf, the Will Ferrell favourite, celebrates the milestone by returning to Showcase Cinemas from December 1^st.

For more family favourites, cinemagoers can take a trip to Christmas Town with Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (from November 25^th), enjoy a comedic spin on the Charles Dickens classic with The Muppet’s Christmas Carol (from December 2^nd), embrace the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (from December 3^rd) and discover the secrets behind Santa’s covert operation in Arthur Christmas (from December 10^th).

Nothing says Christmas like Catherine O’Hara screaming “Kevin!”; beloved family favourite Home Alone will also take to the big screen this holiday season from December 15^th. But what is Christmas without the classics?! Often cited as one of the greatest festive flicks of all time, 1946’s It’s a Wonderful Life will be screening from December 9^th, joining the likes of Miracle on 34^th Street (from November 26^th), musical favourite White Christmas (from November 25^th) and, with a brand new 4k restoration, Santa Claus: The Movie (from December 9^th).

And finally, the hotly debated Christmas film, Die Hard hits the cinema once again. Buckle up and enjoy the thrills as NYC cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) battles the odds against Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) from December 9^th.
