Our friends at See It On 16mm are back to spool up another screening of John Waters’ infamous cult classic Pink Flamingos.
In a twisted contest to determine “the filthiest person alive,” underground icon Divine stars as a criminal anti-heroine living in a trailer with her oddball family, battling a pair of jealous rivals for the title. What follows is an unholy parade of crime, perversion, and pop-art anarchy that rewrote the rules of independent cinema—and left censors reeling.
After 50 year since its initial release, Pink Flamingos is filthier and funnier than ever. An exercise in bad taste or a masterpiece of transgressive art? We’ll let you decide!

It’s still Spooky Season in our hearts, so we’re dusting off a few screenings of Frank Capra’s Arsenic and Old Lace!
Cary Grant stars as Mortimer Brewster, a newlywed whose trip home to visit his eccentric Brooklyn family turns into a macabre comedy of errors.

It’s been a long time since we’ve fired up the Ecto-1 and presented screenings of Ivan Reitman’s original Ghostbusters, so we figure what better time than Halloween week!?
After losing their academic posts at a prestigious university, a team of parapsychologists (played by the legendary team of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson) goes into business as proton-pack-toting “ghostbusters” who exterminate ghouls, hobgoblins and supernatural pests of all stripes. An ad campaign pays off when a knockout cellist hires the squad to purge her swanky digs of demons that appear to be living in her refrigerator.
Ghostbusters wasn’t just a hit movie–it’s a cultural juggernaut. The mix of sharp comedy, supernatural thrills, and groundbreaking special effects struck a chord with audiences, making it one of the defining blockbusters of the 1980s.
