2/4 - 2/9
» The Thing
Kurt Russell stars in director John Carpenter’s sci-fi masterpiece. “I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open.” (1982)
The Thing

2/10 - 2/16
» Risky Business
Written and directed by Paul Brickman; starring Mr. Tom Cruise in tighty- whiteys and Rebecca De Mornay. “My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night. Time of your life, huh kid?” (1983)
Risky Business

2/17 - 2/23
» Fletch
Starring Chevy Chase. Directed by Michael Ritchie (of the original Bad News Bears). “Well, the traffic was murder, you know. One of those manure spreaders jackknifed on the Santa Ana. God awful mess. You should see my shoes.” (1985)
Fletch

2/24 - 3/1
» The African Queen
Master filmmaker John Huston directs Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn in a truly classic picture. We played this as one of our opening films in 2000. This time around we won’t need to worry about the film breaking 20 times. “Dear Lord, We've come to the end of our journey, and in a little while we'll stand before you. I pray for you to be merciful. Judge us not for our weaknesses, but for our love and open the doors of heaven for Charlie and me.” (1951)
The African Queen

3/2 - 3/8
» Predator
"Get to the chopper!" Enough said, right? (1987)
Predator

3/9 - 3/15
» Flash Gordon
Directed by Mike Hodges (of Croupier and the original Get Carter ). “Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.” (1980)
Flash Gordon

3/16 - 3/22
» Videodrome
Written and directed by master filmmaker David Cronenberg. “I want you to stay away from them. Those mondo-weirdo video guys. You know, in some countries, like Argentina, making subversive video is considered a criminal act. They execute people for it. In Pittsburgh... WHO KNOWS?” (1983)
Videodrome

3/23 - 3/29
» The Fly
Get ready for some back to back Cronenberg action starring Jeff Glodblum and Geena Davis. “A fly... got into the... transmitter pod with me that first time… when I was alone. The computer... got confused - there weren't supposed to be two separate genetic patterns - and it decided to... uhh... splice us together. It mated us, me and the fly. We hadn't even been properly introduced.” (1986)
The Fly

3/30 - 4/5
» Twilight Zone: The Movie
An ensemble cast and an array of directors bring Rod Serling’s vision to the big screen. “You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... the Twilight Zone.” (1983)
Twilight Zone: The Movie

4/6 - 4/12
» Sudden Impact
Clint Eastwood returns for the fourth Dirty Harry movie leaving behind a trail of dead criminals. “Inspector, your methods are unconventional to say the least. Oh, you get results. But often your successes are more costly to this department in terms of expenses and physical destruction than most other men's failures." (1983)
Sudden Impact

4/13 - 4/19
» Casino
Martin Scorsese’s wickedly brutal and fantastic mobster film about the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas during the 1970s and 80s. Robert Di Niro leads a star-studded cast. “In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing and to keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end, we get it all.” (1995)
Casino

4/20 - 4/26
» The Getaway
Writer Walter Hill (of The Warriors) and director Sam Peckinpah (of The Wild Bunch) team up for this gritty bank heist movie starring Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw. “That's a walk-in bank. You don't have to be Dillinger for this one.” “Dillinger got killed.” (1972)
The Getaway

4/27 - 5/3
» The Dirty Dozen
It’s near the end of WWII, almost D-Day, and Lee Marvin leads an all-star cast as a platoon of pardoned prisoners released for a Nazi hunting mission behind enemy lines in this hard hitting, action packed movie directed by Robert Aldrich. “It's judgment day, sinners! Come out, come out wherever you are!” (1967)
The Dirty Dozen
