As if! It’s been 30 years since Cher Horowitz first schooled us in the art of high school survival—and we’re celebrating it in style.
Amy Heckerling’s Clueless remains the ultimate ’90s teen comedy: sharp, stylish, and endlessly quotable. Follow Cher, Dionne, and the gang through Beverly Hills’ hallways and malls as they navigate friendship, fashion, and, of course, the quest to find the perfect date.
Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school’s pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was — and falls for him.

Our second Volunteer Of The Month pick is Richard Ayoade’s Submarine, courtesy of our volunteer Lyrio!
Meet Oliver Tate: a Welsh teenager armed with a vocabulary beyond his years, a trench coat he barely fills, and a plan to lose his virginity before his birthday. Also on his list? Saving his parents’ crumbling marriage and keeping his mystic next-door neighbor from stealing his mum.
Ayoade’s directorial debut is a funny, melancholic, and stylized coming-of-age tale, drawing from the deadpan charm of Wes Anderson and the aching awkwardness of early adolescence. Featuring a tender original soundtrack by Alex Turner (of Arctic Monkeys), Submarine is both acerbic and sincere—a story about first love, emotional repression, and the anxiety of being a legend in your own mind.

Our Page To Screen series is opening up the storybook that never gets old–Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride!
This is the rare film that truly has something for everyone: part fairy tale, part swashbuckling adventure, part romantic comedy, and all heart. Adapted by William Goldman from his own novel, it follows the epic love story of Westley and Buttercup, spun by a grandfather (Peter Falk) reading to his skeptical grandson (Fred Savage). Along the way? Duels, deception, miracle pills, and some of the most quotable dialogue ever put to screen.
Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, The Princess Bride is a timeless story of love, laughter, and one very determined man in black.

Agnes Varda’s Le Bonheur is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and we’re honored to be running it for a few screenings in August!
Though married to the good-natured, beautiful Thérèse (Claire Drouot), young husband and father François (Jean-Claude Drouot) finds himself falling unquestioningly into an affair with an attractive postal worker. One of Agnès Varda’s most provocative films, Le Bonheur examines, with a deceptively cheery palette and the spirited strains of Mozart, the ideas of fidelity and happiness in a modern, self-centered world.

Licorice Pizza closes out our Paul Thomas Anderson retrospective at The Frida—young, wild, and stumbling into love.
The year is 1973. The streets of the San Fernando Valley are paved with shag carpet, gas lines, and impossible dreams. And in the middle of it all: Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman), child actor and hustle king, and Alana Kane (Alana Haim), adrift and electric, unsure of what she wants—except, maybe, everything.
Licorice Pizza is PTA at his loosest and most lovingly chaotic—a meandering and utterly sincere coming-of-age epic that captures the awkwardness of growing up and falling in love. With a supporting cast that includes Bradley Cooper as a deranged Jon Peters, Benny Safdie as a local politician, and every storefront in The Valley as a supporting character, the film is a mixtape of growing up in Southern California.

Come see Paul Thomas Anderson’s elegant masterpiece, Phantom Thread, as it was meant to be seen: on the big screen!
Set in the haute-couture world of 1950s London and wrapped in lace and poisonous glances, Phantom Thread is a love story—though maybe not the kind you bring home to mother. Daniel Day-Lewis (always brilliant) is Reynolds Woodcock, a genius dressmaker obsessed with beauty, routine, and control. Enter Alma (Vicky Krieps), a quiet waitress who upends his world—not with chaos, but with her own willpower, as graceful and unrelenting as his.
What begins as muse and artist becomes something far more unsettling—a power struggle played out through fashion, food, and the sharp edge of devotion. Jonny Greenwood’s lush, aching score swells like a secret, and Anderson’s camera moves like hands through fabric.
