Oscar-winning hits.
Iconic stars.
Legendary directors.
They’re classics for a reason – and this season, they’re back on the big screen.
October 3 & 4: Singin’ in the Rain. The best musical-comedy ever made becomes the feel-good film of the year. Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor headline this hilarious take on Tinseltown’s rocky transition from silent films to talkies, featuring great songs, big laughs and dazzling dance numbers.
November 7 & 8: Laura. Otto Preminger directs this haunting tale of a murdered woman (Gene Tierney) and the cop (Dana Andrews) who becomes obsessed with her while investigating the crime. Clifton Webb slays it with his Oscar-nominated performance in the quintessential film noir that movie critic Roger Ebert calls “perfection.”
December 5 & 6: Sullivan’s Travels. In the 1940s, Oscar-winning writer-director Preston Sturges ruled Hollywood, releasing seven blockbuster comedies in five years, including this timeless satire. Joel McCrea plays a famous director who hits the road with Veronica Lake to research a serious film, but finds serious trouble instead.
January 2 & 3: Stagecoach. Saddle up for the granddaddy of all Westerns and the role that made John Wayne a star. Six-time Oscar winner John Ford directs this pulse-pounding journey through Apache territory. Delivering breathtaking action and must-see stunts, this pic earned seven Academy Award nominations and lassoed two of them.
February 6 & 7: Notorious. Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman steam the screen in a “killer” thriller about a spy whose undercover mission could put her six feet under. Director Alfred Hitchcock ratchets up the suspense in this cat-and-mouse clash with a Nazi villain (Claude Rains) who’ll stop at nothing short of murder.
March 6 & 7: All About Eve. Fasten your seatbelts for the drama that scored a record-setting 14 Oscar nominations and won six, including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay. Bette Davis and a young Marilyn Monroe top the cast of this acclaimed motion picture from four-time Oscar-winning filmmaker, Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
Thursday evening screenings are at 7pm
Friday matinee screenings are at 2pm
