A family on the verge of a breakdown.

Little Miss Sunshine, one of the biggest breakout indie hits of all time, is coming back to The Frida Cinema in a brand new 4K restoration!

A family loaded with quirky, colorful characters piles into an old van and road trips to California for little Olive to compete in a beauty pageant.

Featuring the all-star cast of Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, Paul Dano, and Abigail Breslin, Little Miss Sunshine is the kind of movie that makes you laugh until your sides hurt, then quietly punches you right in the heart. Don’t miss it back on the big screen for its 20th anniversary!

A world-famous orchestra conductor discovers the brother he never knew he had: a school cafeteria worker who plays trombone in a local marching band. Detecting his brother’s exceptional musical talent, he takes it upon himself to rectify the injustice of fate. This is The Marching Band, coming to The Frida Cinema starting on September 11th, 2026. 

The film premiered at Cannes Film Festival and became a French box office sensation. Starring Benjamin Lavernhe (My Donkey, My Lover & I) and Pierre Lottin (The Stranger), the film is an equally dramatic and comedic crowd-pleaser!

Ngozi Onwurah’s radically ahead-of-its-time Afrofuturist vision Welcome II The Terrordome made history as the first theatrically distributed British feature directed by a Black woman, and thirty years later, it’s coming back to the big screen in a brand new 4K restoration thanks to Janus Films.

Largely dismissed upon its release by critics unable to see the urgency in its evocation of a gritty dystopia in which Black people have been relegated to living in a slum called the Terrordome, where simmering racial tension threatens to boil over in the wake of a young boy’s death.

Onwurah’s fusion of political commentary and genre spectacle looks extremely prescient now, and her ability to build an entire cosmology that connects the history of slavery to present-day police brutality is nothing less than visionary.

It’s Buddy time, folks!

Remember Buddy? The bright orange unicorn and star of that classic childrens’ television show who brought joy and life lessons into your living room? Inside the colorful world of “It’s Buddy!”, a group of children spend their days singing, dancing, and helping Buddy spread happiness. But when one child refuses to play along, Buddy is not pleased…he’s not pleased at all. 

From Casper Kelly, the creator of Too Many Cooks, comes this new hilarious, creepy, and downright disturbing descent into pop culture madness. It’s Buddy! 

The Hustler isn’t what he used to be. But he has the next best thing. A kid who is.

The Color of Money, Martin Scorsese’s electrifying sequel to The Hustler, is coming back to The Frida Cinema in a brand new 4K restoration to celebrate its 40th anniversary!

Paul Newman (who won his long-awaited Oscar for this film) returns as “Fast” Eddie Felson, now a veteran pool player who spots raw talent in cocky young hustler Vincent, played by Tom Cruise, and decides to take him under his wing.

Boasting Scorsese’s kinetic direction and one of the coolest soundtracks of the ’80s, The Color of Money is a swaggering portrait of mentorship and the thrill of the game.

An adventure 65 million years in the making.

Our Spielberg Summer series is taking a trip to Jurassic Park, the groundbreaking blockbuster that made audiences believe…and then run for their lives.

When a billionaire philanthropist unveils a revolutionary theme park filled with genetically resurrected dinosaurs, a small group of experts is invited to preview the island before opening day. But when the park’s security systems fail, paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), along with mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), are forced to survive a prehistoric nightmare unleashed by the follies of human ambition.

A landmark in visual effects and suspense filmmaking, Jurassic Park remains one of cinema’s great “how did they do that?” experiences. Spielberg blends awe and terror in perfect balance, expanding his horizons to new themes that he would explore even more more in the second half of his career.
