While streaming services continue to be the bane of cinemas around the world, it can't be overstated how much better it is to see a film on the big screen.
Better sound, more immersive, no distractions, and popcorn by the bucket, it's the best setting, so why not go to your local cinema and see one of these films this month?
All the following films are being shown at most cinemas in Cumbria, including Carlisle's Vue, Workington's Parkway, and Penrith's Lonsdale cinemas regularly.
Deadpool and Wolverine (Certificate: 15)
Marvel's foul-mouthed and violent efforts into adapting a once-niche meta hero in comics and the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, then made more popular in a 2013 video game, have proven successful for the studio and Ryan Reynold's career.
The Canadian superstar actor and football club owner reprises his role as Deadpool, joined by X-Men member Wolverine, played again by Australian Hugh Jackman, in a sure-to-entertain laugh-a-minute action riot.
Longlegs (Certificate: 15)
Nicholas Cage again goes 100 per cent into his role as an occultist serial killer maniac called Longlegs, who is chased down by a newly-minted FBI agent played by Maika Monroe in this horror flick.
While the story has received mixed reviews it's been well-praised for its visuals and pacing, with particular regard paid to the performances from both lead actors Monroe and Cage, the latter of the two will always deliver a stellar performance, even in less flattering roles and worse films like Dream Scenario and Ghost Rider.
Alien: Romulus (Certificate: 15)
You will, in fact, be heard screaming, because going off the trailer alone it's clear that this most recent addition to the extensive Alien franchise (released on August 16) is set to be straightforward with its horror, particularly body horror, direction, with a focus on the hideous face-huggers.
A must-see for science fiction and horror fans, especially those with an appreciation for one of the most influential horror films of the 20th century for which the franchise gets its name.
Inside Out 2 (Certificate: U)
Riley has grown up a bit and is experiencing new emotions in this sequel to the Disney/Pixar family film with an ensemble cast, including Tony Hale, Phyllis Smith, Kyle MacLachlan, Diane Lane, and Amy Poehler.
The first of the series brought laughter and heartbreak, discussing emotions and the mind in an accessible and innovative way to rave reviews, and this sequel has received similar praise for what is typical of a Pixar-produced blockbuster.
It Ends With Us (Certificate: 15)
Based on the Colleen Hoover book of the same name, It Ends With Us is a tale of romance, dreams, and the complexity within.
Lead character Lily Bloom and deuteragonist Ryle Kincaid spark an intense love with each other, but as they fall deeper in love Lily sees warning signs, followed by the return of a former romantic partner.
Reviews for the novel remarked upon the storytelling's success at portraying realistic romance and drama, offering a thematically-dense yet well-flowing plot - let's hope the film version does the same.
Twisters (Certificate: 12A)
A sequel to the 1996 disaster film Twister, Twisters brings peril and thrills in great magnitude, following a story of a posse of cavalier storm chasers as they try to survive a massive tornado attack.
The film is directed by Lee Isaac Chung, known for his semi-autobiographical Minari for which he won a Golden Globe, and for his work on the hit Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian.
