Our first Volunteer of the Month pick for September comes from Sophia T, who has chosen the 1963 musical Bye Bye Birdie! Based on the beloved Broadway musical, this '60s classic follows rock 'n' roll heartthrob Conrad Birdie as he heads to a small Ohio town for one last televised kiss before being drafted into the Army, throwing the entire town into a frenzy of teenage rock 'n' roll mayhem. Starring Ann-Margret, Dick Van Dyke, Janet Leigh, Bobby Rydell, Paul Lynde, and Maureen Stapleton, Bye Bye Birdie is a colorful, energetic blast of early-'60s pop culture packed with unforgettable songs!

Director: Todd Solondz Run Time: 140 min. Release Year: 1998
Starring: Cynthia Stevenson, Dylan Baker, Jane Adams, Lara Flynn Boyle, Philip Seymour Hoffman
You want. He wants. She wants. But nobody wants what I want. Our second Volunteer of the Month pick for September 2026 comes courtesy of Amrut, who has chosen Todd Solondz's hilarious and deeply uncomfortably 1998 film Happiness, which we are presenting in a brand new 4K restoration thanks to Universal Pictures! The story follows three sisters and the increasingly troubled people orbiting their lives, leading to a brutally funny look at the desperate search for connection in suburban America. The less plot explained about this one...the better! Featuring Jane Adams, Dylan Baker, Lara Flynn Boyle, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Cynthia Stevenson, Happiness is a fearless portrait of how disturbing things can get when you're searching for the purpose of life.
