After a year of films, feedback forms and fierce debate over delicious cake, we can finally reveal your official 2025 Sunday Matinee League Table!

Sharing the crown as your Favourite Matinee Films of the Year: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Last Christmas both scored a creditable 9.7/10 with our audience.

Hot on their heels were Wonka and Sunshine on Leith with 9.5 – proving that chocolate makers and The Proclaimers can win hearts (and feet-tapping) in Billericay.

Your views don’t always match the critics as Rotten Tomatoes puts Wonka at the top and IMDb reckons A Streetcar Named Desire is cinema royalty… Our audience said “Nah, give us Judi Dench, Emilia Clarke, Hugh Grant and a shedload of cake.”

Joking aside, these votes are important because it helps us understand our audience and the types of films you want us to screen.

Thank you to everyone who voted. Thank you to everyone who watched. And thank you – as always – to the Volunteers who make cinema magic happen in Billericay.
