Hellboy II: The Golden Army - People's Premiere

12A tbc
Join us as Somerset House is transformed into a world of fantasy and adventure, courtesy of Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo Del Toro. His dazzling new vision is full of amazing creatures and spectacular effects - more imagination per minute than any other film this summer!

Pan's Labyrinth
Friday 01 August

Pan's Labyrinth and The Exorcist double bill

18
A night of dark fairytales and intense terror. Be transported by Guillermo Del Toro's ravishing Pan's Labyrinth, before being possessed by William Friedkin's landmark horror classic The Exorcist. Preceded by the Oscar-winning animated short Peter and the Wolf.

Brokeback Mountain
Saturday 02 August

Brokeback Mountain

15
Strong emotions under the stars with director Ang Lee's profound and powerful romantic-drama. The late Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal dominate the screen, their love for one another set against the striking landscape of the American West.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Sunday 03 August

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

12
The Coen Brothers in jaunty mood, with George Clooney playing the fool as an escaped convict on the run with two fellow idiots. A smartly-silly comic escapade that'll fill the courtyard with foot-tappin', thigh-slappin' 'old-timey' music!

Leon
Monday 04 August

Leon

18
An action-thriller that does both explosions and emotions, as Jean Reno's enigmatic hitman takes a young Natalie Portman under his wing. Director Luc Besson turns on the style, and Summer Screen comes at you with all barrels blazing!

Fellini's 8 1/2
Tuesday 05 August

Fellini's 8 1/2

15
A classic that brings all the glamour and sophistication of Italian cinema of the '6Os to Somerset House. Filmmaking maestro Federico Fellini and his star Marcello Mastroianni take their character's creative crisis and from it conjur pure movie magic.

Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb
Wednesday 06 August

Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb

PG
Laugh in the face of World War III with Stanley Kubrick's classic cautionary black-comedy. Apocalypse approaches thanks to the slapstick mishaps of the world's super powers - if they made it today, it would be a documentary...

Singin' In The Rain
Thursday 07 August

Singin' In The Rain

U
All the eye-popping colours, friendly faces and fabulous songs of possibly the greatest movie musical of all-time, splashed across the big-screen. Let Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor lift your spirits, rain or shine.

Wild At Heart
Friday 08 August

The Elephant Man and Wild At Heart

18
Two extraordinary excursions into the mind of director David Lynch: First, an unforgettable vision of Victorian London in the heartbreaking The Elephant Man, followed by the mad, bad and definitely dangerous road-movie romance Wild At Heart.

Scarface
Saturday 09 August

Scarface

18
A ferocious, full-on finale to this year's Summer Screen. Al Pacino tears up the screen as Tony Montana in Brian DePalma's gangster epic, which comes loaded with stunning set-pieces, bloody action and inventive swearing.
