Feb 1 - 7 | World's Best Commercials, the Oscar-nominated film that must be seen on the big screen & more!

FILMS SHOWING Friday Feb 1 to Thursday Feb 7

We sell advance tickets for all our shows!

Perhaps there is no other annual screening that is as enduring at the Princess as the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Better known as 'The World's Best Commercials,' it has been a Princess audience favourite since the mid- 1980s. Amazingly, these diminuitive films just keep getting better and better. It's a great night out: don't miss it! We're proud to have back on the big screen this year's most nominated Oscar-contender, ROMA (tied with 'The Favourite,' with 10 nominations). Trust us, this movie demands to be seen on the big screen to fully appreciate its achievements. If you've only seen it on Netflix, you are doing yourself a disservice. Now is your chance to experience what all the fuss is about. Speaking of "fuss," last November a number of musical luminaries paid tribute to one of the greatest stars of all --Canada's own Joni Mitchell-- when she turned 75. The event was filmed and will be presented for one night only on Feb. 7. All serious music fans need to be there! We could drink a case of her, and still be on our feet. We have lots of other great movies at the Princess this week, so keep scrolling!

Free Solo

"Go figure that the year's most outrageously harrowing action movie turns out to be an arthouse doc from National Geographic." - Boston Globe

Oscar Winner: Best Feature Documentary. “Free Solo is a National Geographic head-spinner from husband-and-wife co-directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. It is extreme in the extreme. The focus is on Alex Honnold, a free climber who gives the finger to gravity every time he suits up.

You are Here: A Come From Away Story

STC

“This story sure has legs – and why shouldn’t it? The way the people of Gander, Newfoundland, opened their hearts to travellers rerouted to their town during the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers is the perfect emotional foil for the brutal violence of that day.

Stan & Ollie

From the screenwriter of Philomena.

Bohemian Rhapsody

"There's only praise to heap on Rami Malek whose tour de force performance as Freddie Mercury will definitely rock you." - Rolling Stone

Winner of 4 Oscars, including Best Actor. “Much of the emphasis in Bryan Singer's Queen biopic is on late frontman Mercury, played by a resplendent Rami Malek, fake buck teeth and all. His fellow band members get some screen time too: guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee), drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) and bassist John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello).
