Fathers, father figures, or those dad-shaped dudes – celebrate them this Father’s Day on 21 June with the gift of unforgettable entertainment. Treat him to a cinema trip for one of this season’s top films, or go all out and surprise him with a Cineworld membership—so he can see all the movies he wants, whenever he wants. Book now to give your dad a blockbuster day!
Treat your dad to a ticket to a new film on Father’s Day, we think he’ll love
When it comes to choosing a cinematic story you think Pops will love this Father’s Day, then take a look at the newest releases, some of which even have a fatherly theme. Not all dads are biological. Take Din Djarin from The Mandalorian and Grogu. I mean, there can’t be many who wouldn’t take Baby Yoda under their wing and Din, aka the Mandalorian, grows to nurture and protect Grogu. The bond is real.
Talking of bond – we bet the Toy Story franchise is way ahead when it comes to films that have bonded family members over moments of laughter, tears, fears and love. If you grew up with Buzz, Woody and the gang as your go-to family watch, then Toy Story 5 is a must-see.
He-Man. What a character. And he’s been around a long time – probably since your dad was a boy. Give him a blast from his past with a nostalgic reminder of his cartoon days and book a ticket to Masters of the Universe. He’ll be wowed at how far He-Man has come when he sees his hero in this high-energy, action-packed context.
If he’s sci-fi mad and has spent many an hour telling you exactly why he thinks – knows – aliens exist, then Disclosure Day is the one for him. It’ll certainly make him think, and maybe even say ‘I told you so’, and he’s sure to be talking about the film for a long time afterwards.
Not just for dad – films the whole family will love on Father’s Day
Is it just me, or is there something about Hugh Jackman that says ‘dad’? Either way, look to father-figure Hugh for your family entertainment on Dad’s Day with a joyful watch. The Sheep Detectives are just that, talking sheep whose beloved shepherd is taken from them, and they investigate the mystery. Funny and light-hearted, it’s a Father’s Day feel-good pick.
Another nostalgic watch is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. It’s vibrant and fun, colour-popping and exciting. And if he guided you through your first game when you were a kid, and then you thrashed him, while you were still a little kid, this is the perfect watch.
A dad’s best friend, Charlie the Wonderdog, will leave paw prints all over his heart as he laps up this film about loyalty and unconditional love.
Push the limits of present-giving with the gift of extreme cinema
And the surprises for dads don’t stop there. Check out the Cineworld Gift Experiences page, and you’ll find more ideas he’ll love. If he’s happy with a standard-sized screen, then blow his mind with a 4DX Experience or buy a Family Experience package for a film for four people, plus two Munchboxes!
If you want to buy him something a little different, opt for a bit of culture with an Event Cinema Experience to give him a taste of live theatre, a classical concert, or the opera. And if you want to see the latest movie release along with an extra treat to enjoy, the Night for Two Experience gives you two cinema tickets plus a large combo of food and drink.

Future fun – films to look forward to with Dad
You may have grown up watching Spider-Man movies with your dad, in which case, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be another trip filled with nostalgia. Spidey senses tell us this tale will see our web-flinging hero stalwartly make the right choices because that’s the way his Uncle Ben brought him up. And watching him swing from building to building across the skyline is hugely entertaining fun, of course. Lock in 6 months or more of Cineworld trips with a Cineworld Unlimited membership for your dad.
The Marvel journey is a rich experience, and a ticket to the latest instalment, Avengers: Doomsday, is an excellent gift, especially if you’ve been following them as a family. Teamwork and stepping up are all heartwarming themes you’ll enjoy together. Along with high-stakes missions, explosive showdowns and fast-paced action.
Dark comedy Digger, starring Tom Cruise, follows an energy tycoon who unleashes a global disaster. The film explores tricky dynamics between fathers and children, with emotional stakes. It should be an absorbing watch, laced with humour.
We love the idea of this prequel to the original The Hunger Games. Set 24 years before the first games, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping zooms in on how Haymitch Abernathy, then 16, survived. Suspense and action all the way, but meaningful too.
For visually stunning storytelling on a massive scale, Dune sure delivers, and we’re hoping Dune: Part Three will smash expectations. We pick up the story years after Paul Artreides has reached the throne, to find that there’s a conspiracy to unseat him as a god. Big-impact narrative with themes of legacy and leadership threaded through.
You can't say you're stuck for ideas for what to buy your dad this Father’s Day. There’s no such thing with Cineworld – we have a whole world of gifts he’ll love!
