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! [more...]

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? [more...]

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. [more...]

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 take 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. [more...]

CHEAPER TO KEEP HER - Raymond Mays wants a divorce and Morgan Mays wants alimony. When the fed-up Judge bangs her gavel, she decides Morgan doesn't deserve half... she deserves it all. Morgan gets everything—the house, Raymond’s retirement, and some would say even his self-esteem, leaving him with nothing but the thought; it would have been cheaper to keep her. Raymond has two options to prevent him from paying alimony: kill Morgan or get her married off to someone else. As ex-husband and ex-love face off with each other, broken hearts will get revenge; hearts and marital matrimony will collide!
