Jaws

Our Spielberg Summer series is kicking off exactly where you’d think: with July 4th weekend screenings of his industry-changing, pop culture-shifting, era-defining masterpiece Jaws!

When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town’s chief of police, a young marine biologist, and a grizzled hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.

The film that invented the modern Summer blockbuster remains just as crowd-pleasing as ever over 50 years later. Powered by nerve-shredding suspense and Steven Spielberg’s astonishing command of tone and performance (especially for only being 27 years old at the time of production), Jaws is a masterclass in modern American filmmaking.

The Big Sleep

Our Bogie Fest series begins to wind down with The Big Sleep, Howard Hawks’ noir adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s iconic novel.

Private detective Philip Marlowe (played by Humphrey Bogart) is hired by the wealthy General Sternwood to investigate a blackmail scheme involving his daughter, Carmen. What begins as a straightforward case unravels into a clustermess of murder and corruption, as Marlowe discovers connections to organized crime. Along the way, he encounters the General’s other daughter, the sharp-witted and enigmatic Vivian (portrayed by Lauren Bacall) with whom he shares a smoldering chemistry.

Known for its moody cinematography and the world famous Bogie and Bacall on-screen chemistry, The Big Sleep remains a defining work of the noir genre, celebrated for its stylish complexity.
