Tune into the classics such as Love Actually, Home Alone, It's a Wonderful Life and The Holiday
Keep the kids entertained with Sing 2, Wonka, Minions, and Despicable Me 3
This Christmas RT is home to the biggest Hollywood movies. Irish acting royalty Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan star in the Irish television premiere of The Banshees of Inisherin. Cillian Murphy gives an Oscar winning performance as he embodies the famous theoretical physicist in Oppenheimer and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling show that life in plastic isn't always fantastic in Barbie. Also on this year's movie menu are blockbuster hits Belfast and Raiders of the Lost Dark and family favourites It's a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, The Holiday and Love Actually to keep you entertained at home.
The golden boy of Irish cinema Cillian Murphy delivers a career-defining, Oscar-winning performance as Oppenheimer, capturing the intensity and inner turmoil of a man who changed history. Viewers can expect thought-provoking drama, historical intrigue, and a haunting exploration of science, power, and humanity.
Wonka takes audiences back to the whimsical origins of the world's most famous chocolatier, Willy Wonka, in a magical adventure full of wonder. Timoth e Chalamet stars in a charming and energetic performance as the young Willy, setting out to create his sweet empire against all odds.
Irish acting royalty Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell, Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan star in The Banshees of Inisherin on RT this Christmas. When lifelong friends P draic and Colm's friendship unravel, their quiet, isolated lives spiral into absurdity and emotional turmoil. With stunning performances from the all-star Irish cast, this film blends humour with heartbreak, exploring themes of loneliness, pride, and the fragility of friendship while set against the rugged beauty of the Aran Islands.
Barbie follows the story of the iconic doll as she embarks on a journey from the perfect, glittering metropolis of Barbieland to the real world. When Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, begins to question her place in life, she leaves her picture-perfect existence to explore what it means to be truly alive. Joined by Ken, played by Ryan Gosling, she faces the challenges of real-world emotions, self-discovery, and identity.
Feel the need for speed? Fast X roars back with high-octane action, family bonds, and gravity-defying stunts as Vin Diesel leads the crew in their biggest, boldest mission yet.
A moving journey of courage, memory, and redemption. Pierce Brosnan stars as a World War II veteran escaping his care home to honour a fallen friend. The Last Rifleman blends heart, humour, and history in a deeply human story.
The Miracle Club stars a powerhouse cast with Maggie Smith, Laura Linney and Kathy Bates leading the charge! When a group of Irish women go in search of miracles, they find plenty of mischief, heart, and a whole lot of laughs. Faith, friendship, and a bit of divine comedy.
Back to Black takes viewers inside the turbulent, tragic, and unforgettable life of Amy Winehouse. With Marisa Abela delivering a stunning performance, this biopic captures the raw talent and chaos of a legend. From soul-shaking music to hard-hitting moments, it's a wild ride through fame, love, and loss. A powerful and poignant portrayal of one of music's most iconic figures.
Apocalypse Clown brings chaos, laughter and a dash of end-of-the-world madness as a motley crew of down-on-their-luck clowns stumble through the apocalypse. Packed with slapstick, satire and big Irish energy, it's a comedy that's anything but a joke.
With the long cold evenings here to stay viewers can stay entertained with a glittering lineup of blockbuster hits including Tune into Venom: Let There Be Carnage, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and The Commuter.
Relive the thrilling adventures of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, hop in your DeLorean and drive in the Back to the Future trilogy. Embrace the cosmopolitan life of New York in Sex and The City and go back in time with the classics Casablanca, Doctor Zhivago and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
The family movie selection is also merry and bright this year. Kids can tune into Despicable Me 3, Minions, Boss Baby the Family Business, Cinderella and Sing 2.
The holidays are all about nostalgia and RT has a range of Christmas hits to keep the festive spirit alive. Enjoy romantic favourites Love Actually and Notting Hill, the action-packed Goodfellas and classic favourites Miracle on 34th Street, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and White Christmas.
