The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie takes our beloved underwater fry cook to new cinematic heights—on a quest to save Mr. Krabs, recover King Neptune’s stolen crown, and prove once and for all that being a “kid” doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero. Bursting with surreal gags, sea shanties, and a David Hasselhoff cameo, it’s a deliriously funny deep-sea odyssey that captures the show’s weird genius on a bigger, bolder scale. Goofy? Absolutely. Glorious? You bet your yellow sponge butt it is!

Director: Andrei Tarkovsky Run Time: 183 min. Release Year: 1966 Language: Russian

Starring: Anatoliy Solonitsyn, Irma Raush, Ivan Lapikov, Nikolai Sergeyev, Nikolay Grinko

Encoring as part of our Andrei Tarkovsky Retrospective is Andrei Rublev, one of the director's most celebrated and historically significant works. Set in 15th-century Russia, the film follows the life of Andrei Rublev, a monk and icon painter, as he grapples with the brutality of the world around him, the spiritual toll of his calling, and the complexities of artistic creation. Upon its release, Andrei Rublev faced heavy censorship in the Soviet Union, and it was initially banned for its perceived bleak portrayal of Russian history and spirituality. However, it eventually garnered international acclaim, receiving the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival and securing its place as one of the greatest films ever made. Andrei Rublev remains a cornerstone of both Tarkovsky’s career and Russian cinema, offering a profound exploration of the intersection between art, faith, and the human condition.

Director: Charles Laughton Run Time: 93 min. Release Year: 1955

Starring: Billy Chapin, Lillian Gish, Robert Mitchum, Sally Jane Bruce, Shelley Winters

Our Classic Movie Nights series trades in its bright colors for a stark, Southern Gothic black-and-white as we present The Night of the Hunter, one of the most haunting and singular films ever made. The only movie ever directed by actor Charles Laughton, it is celebrating its 70th birthday this year! Robert Mitchum is unforgettable as Reverend Harry Powell, a preacher with a forked tongue, a switchblade in his pocket, and “LOVE” and “HATE” tattooed across his knuckles. Posing as a man of God, he hunts two children across a dreamlike rural landscape, believing they hold the secret to a hidden fortune. What unfolds is a shadow-drenched tale of survival, spiritual terror, and the strange, luminous resilience of children in a world gone cold. A box office failure on release, it’s now hailed as one of the most daring American films of the 20th century—an extremely unique vision that has permeated through pop culture until this very day. Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!

Run Time: 212 min. Rating: R

The penultimate event in our A24orror series is an off-kilter double feature of The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Talk to Me, two films that deep-dive into the psychological horror of guilt, manipulation, and the dark consequences of making dangerous choices. In The Killing of a Sacred Deer, we follow Dr. Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell), a successful surgeon whose life begins to unravel after he befriends a mysterious teenage boy, Martin (Barry Keoghan). As Martin manipulates his way into Steven’s life, the boundaries between guilt and punishment begin to blur. With director Yorgos Lanthimos at the helm, the film has the very best examples of his deadpan dialogue, unsettling atmosphere, and an absolutely surreal sense of dread. Then, Talk to Me ramps up the terror with its supernatural premise: a group of teenagers discovers the unsettling power of an embalmed hand that allows them to communicate with spirits. But when one of them takes things too far, the consequences are horrifying and irreversible.

Director: Akira Kurosawa Run Time: 160 min. Release Year: 1985 Language: Japanese

Starring: Akira Terao, Daisuke Ryū, Jinpachi Nezu, Mieko Harada, Tatsuya Nakadai

We are proud to present a weeklong engagement of Akira Kurosawa's final epic masterpiece Ran, celebrating its 40th Anniversary with a stunning new 4K Restoration. A grand and visually breathtaking reimagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear, Ran explores themes of power, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of human folly. Set against the backdrop of feudal Japan, Kurosawa employs sweeping landscapes, intricate battle sequences, and vivid color symbolism to create a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Thirty years after its original release, Studiocanal decided to restore Ran in 4K in collaboration with the Japanese company Kadokawa. In 1985, the production of the original film was possible thanks to a French-Japanese collaboration and 30 years later, Studiocanal and Kadokawa replicated this partnership to restore the film. Ran has been restored in 4K by the French laboratory Éclair, under Studiocanal's supervision. Based on an original negative, the majority of the restoration work was done manually, image by image. Color grading was approved by Masaharu Ueda, one of Ran's three cinematographers and a close associate of Kurosawa's.

What else can be said about Jaws that hasn't been said by every film scholar for the past fifty years? Featuring career-best work from its all-star cast of Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw, Lorraine Gary, and Murray Hamilton, the film has kept audiences from ever going back into the ocean (or their pool...or bathtub) for the better part of a century. It's one of the best examples of man vs man, man vs himself, man vs society, and man vs nature ever put on celluloid.

Director: Denis Villeneuve Run Time: 167 min. Release Year: 2024

Starring: Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya

Join us for an encore of Denis Villeneuve’s epic space odyssey returns to the big screen in its full, awe-inspiring form: a double feature presentation of Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two. Spanning the desolate beauty of Arrakis and the shadowy corridors of interstellar power, this two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novel marks a towering cinematic achievement—both a sprawling mythological epic and a hauntingly intimate story of destiny, prophecy, and the terrible price of power. In Part One, Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Prisoners) introduces us to the dying empire and the doomed House Atreides, torn from their home world and cast into the brutal desert sands of Arrakis—a planet rich in spice and ruled by violence. As Paul (Timothée Chalamet) begins to awaken to visions of the future, Part Two catapults us into a full-scale revolution. Shot with staggering scale and precision, Dune is modern blockbuster filmmaking at its most operatic. From Hans Zimmer’s thunderous score to Greig Fraser’s otherworldly cinematography, every frame is built for the big screen.

Director: Michel Gondry Run Time: 108 min. Rating: R Release Year: 2004

Starring: Elijah Wood, Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is back for some encores in early June!  A visually inventive and emotionally raw exploration of memory, love, and loss, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind follows Joel (Jim Carrey), a reserved man who discovers that his impulsive ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has undergone a medical procedure to erase all memories of their relationship. In a mix of desperation and curiosity, Joel decides to do the same -- but as he relives his memories with her as they vanish one by one, he rediscovers just how deeply he loves her. The film unfolds largely inside Joel’s mind, blending surrealism with grounded emotion as he tries to hide Clementine in forgotten corners of his subconscious in an effort to resist the erasure. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was met with critical acclaim for its originality, emotional depth, and the dramatic range of Carrey and Winslet’s performances. The film won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Actress (Winslet). It’s often cited as one of the defining films of the 2000s, celebrated for its bold storytelling structure, dreamlike visuals, and bittersweet meditation on memory and identity, and influencing countless films and series that navigate nonlinear timelines, unreliable narrators, and the fragile mechanics of human connection.

Director: Yann Gonzalez Run Time: 102 min. Release Year: 2018 Language: French

Starring: Jonathan Genet, Kate Moran, Nicolas Maury, Romane Bohringer, Vanessa Paradis

Our Pride Month programming takes a dark turn as we venture into the nu-Giallo genre with Yann Gonzalez's brilliantly bizarre Knife + Heart! Set in Paris during the summer of 1979, Knife + Heart follows Anne (Vanessa Paradis), a producer and director of gay pornography, who is grappling with the recent departure of her editor and lover, Loïs (Kate Moran). In an attempt to win her back, Anne embarks on creating her most ambitious film yet. However, the production takes a dark turn when one of her actors is brutally murdered, leading Anne into a perilous investigation that intertwines with her professional and personal life. Exploring themes of love, obsession, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction, Knife + Heart delves deep into the world of 1970s gay pornography, offering a narrative that is both a tribute to and a critique of the Giallo genre.

Director: Joel Schumacher Run Time: 125 min. Release Year: 1997

Get ready to be drenched in neon as we present the oft-maligned but extremely fun Batman & Robin film from 1997! In the second Joel Schumacher-directed installment of the Batman franchise, Gotham City faces a chilling new threat: Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a villain determined to encase the world in ice while searching for a cure for his terminally ill wife. Teaming up with the seductive and poisonous eco-terrorist Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), Freeze launches a plan to freeze Gotham solid. Batman & Robin embraces a high-camp, cartoonish aesthetic that sharply contrasts the darker tones of its predecessors. The result is a film saturated in spectacle, puns, and visual excess, which making it a perfect addition to our Pride Month programming!

Director: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen Run Time: 103 min. Release Year: 1952

Starring: Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, Gene Kelly, Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell

Our Technicolor Summer series kicks off with one of the greatest musicals—and films—of all time: the iconic Singin' In The Rain!  Set in late-1920s Hollywood during the turbulent transition from silent films to "talkies," Singin’ in the Rain centers on Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly), a charismatic silent film star whose latest film must be transformed into a sound picture. However, his leading lady, Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), has a voice that’s disastrously unsuited for talkies. Enter Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), a talented singer and dancer brought in to secretly dub Lina’s lines. What follows is a whirlwind of backstage drama, comedic misadventures, and dazzling musical numbers as Don and his best friend Cosmo (Donald O’Connor) try to save their careers and reinvent the industry—while Don falls in love with Kathy in the process. In the early 1930s, the 3-strip Technicolor process was introduced to audiences, inviting them to experience a world dripping with vibrant saturation for the very first time. The Technicolor Summer series ranges from familiar classics to rarely-screened gems all Summer long!

Starring: James Russo, Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Rodney Harvey, William Richert

Our Pride Month programming takes it back to the early-90s queer cinema movement with Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho! The film follows Mike Waters (River Phoenix), a vulnerable, narcoleptic street hustler, as he drifts through the Pacific Northwest in search of his estranged mother. Alongside him is Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves), the rebellious, privileged son of a mayor who chooses to live on the streets until he inherits his fortune. Together, they navigate a world of sex work, survival, and fleeting human connection.  Loosely inspired by Shakespeare’s Henry IV plays and infused with a dreamlike sense of melancholy, My Own Private Idaho is a cornerstone of queer cinema.

Director: Pedro Almodóvar Run Time: 101 min. Release Year: 1999 Language: Spanish

Starring: Antonia San Juan, Candela Peña, Cecilia Roth, Marisa Paredes, Penélope Cruz

No Pride Month programming would be complete without a film from Pedro Almodóvar. This year, we've chosen All About My Mother! Manuela (Cecilia Roth), a nurse and single mother, watches her teenage son die tragically in a car accident on his 17th birthday. Grieving and desperate to find closure, she leaves Madrid to search for the boy’s estranged father—now a transgender woman named Lola—who is unaware of ever having a son. Almodóvar’s signature blend of melodrama, bold color palettes, and layered female characters shines in this emotionally charged and compassionate film. Themes of gender fluidity, chosen family, loss, and rebirth make this one of the definitive LGBTIA+ films of the 90s.

Run Time: 540 min. Rating: R

We're back to our old tricks of playing a Friday The 13th movie every Friday The 13th. Except this time around, we realized we had already played them all over the past seven years! The solution to this problem is simple: how about we play all ten movies from the iconic Slasher franchise over a two night span? Welcome back to Camp Crystal Lake as we present The Frida Cinema's Ten Film Friday The 13th Marathon!  Up first is night one, where we will be highlighting the first five films from the F13 series! Doors open at 6PM and the fun all begins at 7PM. We will run each film subsequently with a 15 minute break between each film! GA tickets to each night are $30, and a 2 night GA Pass is $50 and gives you access all ten films! Friday the 13th (1980) - 7:00PM The original Friday the 13th (1980), directed by Sean S. Cunningham, is a film that launched one of the most iconic franchises in horror history. Set at the seemingly idyllic Camp Crystal Lake, the film begins with a mystery surrounding a series of killings at the camp in the past. As a new group of counselors arrive to reopen the camp, they become the next targets of an unknown killer. Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) - 9:00PM Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), directed by Steve Miner, quickly capitalizes on the success of the original film by continuing the story, introducing Jason Voorhees as the central killer. After his mother’s death, Jason is revealed to have survived his drowning, living in the woods near Camp Crystal Lake. This film sees a new group of counselors who unknowingly walk into the same dangerous fate. Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982) - 10:45PM In Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982), directed again by Steve Miner, Jason is fully embraced as the franchise's antagonist and is given his iconic hockey mask. The film takes place in a secluded cabin, where a group of friends encounter the masked killer.  Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter (1984) - 12:30AM Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter (1984), directed by Joseph Zito, continues to refine the formula that was established in previous films. Jason, believed to be dead at the end of Part 3, is resurrected by a group of teens who are visiting a nearby cabin. This film is notable for its portrayal of Jason as a more aggressive, physically imposing figure, making him more formidable than ever before. Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985) - 2:15AM Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985), directed by Danny Steinmann, marks a major shift in the franchise. The film follows Tommy Jarvis, now a teenager, as he’s sent to a mental institution after the events of Part 4. The twist in this installment is that Jason is not the killer; instead, a copycat killer is using the same modus operandi as Jason.

Showgirls is coming back to The Frida Cinema as we celebrate its 30th anniversary with a two-night-only spectacular! Fresh to Las Vegas with no connections, Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) takes a job as an exotic dancer. Her talents are quickly noticed by Cristal (Gina Gershon), a headlining dancer who senses an opportunity to bolster her own act. But Nomi won’t play second fiddle and soon begins her venomous path to the top, ruthlessly backstabbing anyone who gets in her way. Three decades after its release, Showgirls stands as a striking example of misunderstood cinema—equal parts satire, spectacle, and critique of American capitalism, it may be the shiniest jewel in our Pride Month programming crown for 2025.

Our award-winning resident performance troupe K.A.O.S. returns for their celebrated all-costumed, all-choreographed, all-leg-kicking live shadowcast presentation of 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, performed on stage in front of the film! Director Jim (Don’t squeeze the…) Sharman’s cult classic stars Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as Brad and Janet, two virginal small-town lovers whose car breaks down in the shadows of a creepy old castle, where they encounter an odd collective of “unconventional conventionalists” gathered to witness transvestite scientist’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s latest creation – a muscular man named Rocky. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including tap-dancing Columbia, rocking biker Eddie, and of course, the castle’s “Sweet Transvestite” himself, Frank-N-Furter! Adapted from the 1973 stage musical by Richard O’Brien, this glam cult classic is a cinematic experience unlike any other. Sing-along (and shout-along!) to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a classic that still packs houses almost 50 years since its release! Get your tickets now before it sells out!

After accidentally releasing Jason from his watery grave at the bottom of Crystal Lake, Tina must confront him in a final battle of supernatural strength vs. undead brute force.

Jason is blown to pieces in the opening scene by a SWAT team, and his evil spirit possesses a series of bodies, jumping host to host. The film focuses on the mythology of Jason’s demonic nature and introduces the idea that only a Voorhees family member can kill him permanently. Jason X (2001) - 12:15AM By the early 2000s, the franchise embraced self-parody and sci-fi absurdity. Jason X sends Jason into space in the distant future after he's cryogenically frozen and thawed aboard a spaceship. Once loose, he tears through the crew until he's upgraded into a futuristic cyborg version: Uber Jason.

There, he meets Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly), a cool and elegant American heiress who may be more intrigued by Robie’s rumored criminal past than his attempts at innocence.

Seen through Sophie’s sunlit, inquisitive eyes, the trip is tender and ordinary: poolside games, shared meals, camcorder footage, karaoke, and fleeting glimpses of adult sadness she doesn’t yet understand. Aftersun is more than a coming-of-age story. It's also a haunting act of remembrance.

With no promise of a future, they make the present infinite.

Director: Richard Linklater Run Time: 110 min. Release Year: 2003

Starring: Jack Black, Joan Cusack, Mike White, Miranda Cosgrove, Sarah Silverman

When down-and-out guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is kicked out of his band and on the brink of eviction, he hatches a desperate plan: pose as his roommate and take a job as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Totally unqualified but totally undeterred, Dewey discovers his fifth-grade students are musical prodigies—and decides to secretly transform them into...the School Of Rock!  What starts as a scam turns into a mission, as Dewey teaches the kids not just how to shred, but how to channel their frustrations, find their confidence, and challenge the rigid world around them. With the Battle of the Bands as their target, School of Rock becomes a high-decibel anthem to self-expression. Directed by Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise) and written by Mike White of White Lotus fame, School of Rock strikes a perfect chord between anarchic comedy and heartwarming sincerity. Jack Black’s performance is a full-force, career-defining blend of physical comedy, genuine musicality, and chaotic charisma.

Our first Volunteer Of The Month pick comes from Ellie, who has chosen Jacques Toureur's 1948 classic I Walked With A Zombie!  In this haunting reimagining of Jane Eyre by way of Caribbean folklore, Canadian nurse Betsy Connell (Frances Dee) travels to the West Indies island of Saint Sebastian to care for Jessica Holland, the mysteriously catatonic wife of a sugar plantation owner. As Betsy uncovers more about the family’s tragic past, she becomes entangled in an atmosphere thick with secrets, sorrow, and superstition. Drawn toward the eerie pull of local voodoo rites and emotional tensions within the Holland household, Betsy’s journey becomes one of descent—into both personal obsession and the island’s enigmatic spiritual world. What emerges isn’t just a horror tale, but a ghostly meditation on colonialism, love, and the things that refuse to die.

Yuki's family is nearly wiped out before she is born due to the machinations of a band of criminals. These criminals kidnap and brutalize her mother but leave her alive. Later her mother ends up in prison with only revenge to keep her alive. She creates an instrument for this revenge by purposefully getting pregnant. Yuki never knows the love of a family but only killing and revenge. A cult sensation upon release, Lady Snowblood gained international fame in the decades that followed, particularly after Quentin Tarantino cited it as a major influence on Kill Bill, borrowing both stylistic elements and its iconic theme song (“Shura no Hana,” performed by Kaji herself).

Run Time: 200 min.

Join us for a double feature of Gregg Araki’s The Doom Generation (1995) and Nowhere (1997)—a hallucinatory pairing of sex, violence, nihilism, and teen alienation, and everything you'd want from a singular 90s queer punk film! These films are loud, lurid, hilarious, and devastating—equal parts satire, horror show, and glitterbomb. Buckle up. It’s gonna get weird. The Doom Generation (1995) Starring Rose McGowan, James Duval, and Jonathan Schaech, this blood-soaked road movie follows teenage couple Amy Blue and Jordan White as they pick up the magnetic and possibly homicidal drifter Xavier Red. What starts as a sexy, snarky joyride descends into a surreal, ultraviolent spiral of absurdist violence, nihilism, and late-night convenience store hellscapes. Nowhere (1997) The final and most flamboyant entry in the Teen Apocalypse trilogy, Nowhere is a tangential day-in-the-life of queer and questioning teens in Los Angeles. Centered on the sweetly dazed Dark Smith (James Duval) and his yearning for love amid sex, drugs, alien abductions, cults, and lizard people, the film explodes into pure sensory overload.

Director: Jason Reitman Run Time: 96 min. Release Year: 2007

Starring: Elliot Page, J.K. Simmons, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, Michael Cera

For the first time in The Frida Cinema's history, we are finally playing Juno!  Juno MacGuff (Elliot Page), a smart, sarcastic 16-year-old in the Minneapolis suburbs, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant after a casual hookup with her shy best friend, Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). Opting against abortion but not ready for motherhood, Juno sets out to find the perfect adoptive parents—a seemingly put-together yuppie couple played by Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman. Written by Diablo Cody in her Oscar-winning debut, Juno pairs quippy, stylized dialogue with sincere emotional beats, carving out a space in indie film where teenage girls are allowed to be complicated, self-aware, and funny without being reduced to tropes.

With a chilling voice and cryptic instructions, Jigsaw informs them that they must partake in a gruesome game in order to secure their freedom. Saw may not wave a rainbow flag, but in the best tradition of horror, it’s deeply, delightfully queer. From its sadomasochistic aesthetics to its fixation on secrets, guilt, and transformation, Saw taps into queer-coded themes of repression and revelation. The entire franchise revolves around hidden lives, bodies under pressure, and moral tests imposed by a voyeuristic authority. Watch it again and make the choice for yourself!

Director: Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell Run Time: 133 min. Release Year: 1948

Starring: Anton Walbrook, Léonide Massine, Marius Goring, Moira Shearer, Robert Helpmann

Often described as a film that doesn’t just depict dance, but becomes it, The Red Shoes is returning to The Frida Cinema as part of of our Technicolor Summer series. Directed by Powell & Pressburger, every frame is lush and painterly. The film’s 17-minute central ballet sequence remains one of the greatest ever filmed. In this classic drama, Vicky Page is an aspiring ballerina torn between her dedication to dance and her desire to love. While her imperious instructor, Boris Lermontov, urges to her to forget anything but ballet, Vicky begins to fall for the charming young composer Julian Craster. Eventually Vicky, under great emotional stress, must choose to pursue either her art or her romance, a decision that carries serious consequences. In the early 1930s, the 3-strip Technicolor process was introduced to audiences, inviting them to experience a world dripping with vibrant saturation for the very first time. The Technicolor Summer series ranges from familiar classics to rarely-screened gems all Summer long!

See It On 16MM is back with another heater as we team up to present the 1974 Tobe Hoober horror masterpiece The Texas Chain Saw Massacre! When a group of young friends take a detour through rural Texas, what begins as a sun-bleached road trip dissolves into something far more harrowing. In the middle of nowhere, they stumble upon a decaying farmhouse—and a family of cannibals. Chief among them: a towering, masked figure with a roaring chainsaw and a childlike rage. One by one, the travelers are pulled into a waking nightmare of violence, ritual, and bone-deep madness. No comfort. No escape. Just heat, metal, and the sound of human terror.

Starring: Ayo Edebiri, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Rachel Sennott, Ruby Cruz

Emma Seligman's chaotic teen romp Bottoms is back at The Frida Cinema just in time for our Pride Month programming! PJ and Josie are unpopular, gay, and desperate—to hook up with hot cheerleaders before graduation. Their solution? Start a high school fight club for girls, marketed as a “self-defense group” but fueled by unchecked teen delusion and deeply questionable motives. What begins as a messy ploy for clout becomes something that's equal parts tender and violently cathartic. This is not a coming-out story. No one’s asking for tolerance. Everyone’s already gay, and they’re busy bleeding, making out, and throwing fists.

Our Classic Movie Nights series hits the stage in June for our highly-anticipated screening the legendarily catty All About Eve! Long before “gay icon” was a household term, there was Margo Channing—played with fire and majesty by Bette Davis, in this ultimate camp classic of backstage betrayal, biting wit, and theatrical fabulousness. This is the blueprint: a film drenched in glamour, gossip, and the punishment of aging in a world obsessed with youth. Not to be outdone (ever) is Anne Baxter’s Eve, the original ingénue, and George Sanders, delivering high-grade snark as the venomous critic Addison DeWitt. And we could never forget a baby Marilyn Monroe in a scene-stealing early role.  Every glance is loaded, every line is iconic, and every cigarette is smoked like a weapon. Fasten your seatbelts? Darling, we never took them off. Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!

Glitz and glamour has officially entered our Technicolor Summer series as we present a weekend of the 50s classic How To Marry A Millionaire!  Three ambitious New York models—Schatze Page (Lauren Bacall), Loco Dempsey (Betty Grable), and Pola Debevoise (Marilyn Monroe)—decide to pool their resources and rent a luxurious Manhattan penthouse, not for comfort, but as a strategic base of operations to catch rich husbands. Beneath the surface, the film gently satirizes postwar materialism and gender roles, while still delivering the charm of a traditional romantic comedy. Each of the three leads brings distinct comedic timing and personality, especially Marilyn Monroe, whose physical comedy as the glasses-averse Pola steals the show.

Our Classic Movie Nights series heads to the peak of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers’ legendary collaborations with Top Hat, an art deco dream of gravity-defying dance! Set against a backdrop of gleaming ballrooms and breezy Venice vistas, this musical comedy is pure cinematic joy!  Astaire is the dashing American dancer who falls for Rogers’ quick-witted society girl, but a case of confused identity threatens their budding romance. What follows is a confection of screwball comedy and iconic choreography—including the immortal “Cheek to Cheek,” where Rogers floats across the floor in that legendary feathered gown. With music by Irving Berlin, direction by Mark Sandrich, and the kind of sparkling chemistry you can’t fake, Top Hat is a love letter to the golden age of movie musicals. Eighty-plus years later, it still sings, sways, and seduces. Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!

Last night I dreamt that I was at Manderlay again... Our Classic Movie Nights series celebrates Alfred Hitchcock's birthday by screening his only film ever to win Best Motion Picture at The Oscars--Rebecca! A masterclass in shadowy suspense (what else did you expect?), this gothic romance cloaked in elegance, obsession, and secrets that refuse to stay buried is not just a ghost story—it’s a story about the ghosts we create, the ones we inherit, and the ones we try to escape. Joan Fontaine stars as the shy, unnamed heroine who marries the wealthy widower Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier), only to find herself haunted by the legacy of his late wife, Rebecca—a presence that lingers over the mansion of Manderley like perfume in a locked room. Judith Anderson is unforgettable as Mrs. Danvers, the icy housekeeper whose devotion to Rebecca tips from unsettling to unhinged. Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!
