GEORGY GIRL
[Running time: 99 minutes]
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00 | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00
GEORGY GIRL (1966) - Marking the auspicious debut of its star, Lynn Redgrave, Georgy Girl was one of the first films of the 60’s to deal with the sexual revolution. Twenty-two year old Georgy is a Plain Jane of a woman who beats to her own drummer. The film is a comedy-of-manners that embraces the sadness and unrealized potential of a decade. Redgrave won the Golden Globe for Best Actress, the New York Film Critics Award for Best Actress, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress of 1966. The well known title song to the film, performed by The Seekers, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. [Recommended for mature audiences]

King Kong
[Running time: 104 minutes]
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00pm | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00
KING KONG (1933) - One of the finest adventure movies ever made and the true prototype for all monster movies to follow.
More than three quarters of a century after its release, the original King Kong is one of those rare, great films that stands up to
endless repeated viewings, each time revealing something new. "Scream Queen" Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong star in this RKO
Radio Pictures classic, but it is Kong who steals the show. Brought to life on the silver screen by Willis O'Brien's pioneering stop-action
animation, the monstrous gorilla rips apart dinosaurs on Skull Island, wreaks havoc in Manhattan, and bats bi-planes out of the sky above the
Empire State Building. But, despite his rampages, is Kong just a destructive beast? Or is Kong a creature that, in his own way, just
wants to do the right thing?

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
[Running time: 120 minutes]
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00pm | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00
E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982) - Ten-year old Elliott encounters an extra-terrestrial accidentally left behind by his spaceship. They form a fast friendship, to the point where Elliott begins to feel what E.T. feels. But as E.T. stays separate from his own kind, he begins to suffer - and so does Elliott. Can Elliott help E.T. "phone home" in time?
Perhaps Steven Spielberg's most memorable film - certain scenes have become icons of film imagery: Drew Barrymore's scream, the bicycle silhouette against the moon, E.T.'s finger touching Elliott's... This film is not just a triumph of special effects, but a triumph of the imagination. Don't miss this rare chance to see E.T. on a big movie screen!

To Have And Have Not
[Running time: 100 minutes]
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00pm | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00
To Have And Have Not (1944) - Directed by Howard Hawks, this was the first film featuring the on-screen pairing of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall and marked Bacall's screen debut. William Faulkner loosely adapted Ernest Hemingway's novel for this thrilling
tale of a down-on-his-luck American ship captain in Martinique who reluctantly smuggles French resistance fighters through a net of Vichy police and Gestapo agents. The remarkable chemistry between Bogart and Bacall is breathtaking and their romantic banter throughout the film remains the stuff of Hollywood legend.

The Man Who Knew Too Much
[Running time: 120 minutes]
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00pm | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) - An American doctor (James Stewart) traveling in Morocco with his wife (Doris Day)
and son (Christopher Olsen) becomes unwittingly embroiled in an assassination plot, and must rescue his kidnapped son
while preventing the assassination from taking place. Alfred Hitchcock directs one of his most suspenseful films - climaxing
in the famed 12-minute sequence at London's Royal Albert Hall, where composer Bernard Herrmann conducts the London Symphony Orchestra as a sniper takes aim at his target. Doris Day's song "Que Sera, Sera" is not only an integral part of the plot, but won the Oscar for Best Original Song.
