Fight Club
Wildly inventive, exceptionally cast and undeniably controversial, Fincher’s dark comedy is brilliant. An insomniac office worker, looking for a way to change his life, crosses paths with a devil-may-care dilettante, forming an underground fight club that evolves into something much, much more. Rowdy fun, Fight Club is as compelling and hallucinatory now as when it exploded on the scene 16 years ago. With DJ Michael Stock (Part Time Punks)
Carrie
The original horror classic…
The terrifying and entertaining classic is considered one of the best of the genre thanks to an incredible performance by Sissy Spacek. An outcast girl with telekinetic abilities is teased by the kids at her school, but when they play a prank on her at the prom she unleashes her true power. John Travolta and Nancy Allen are hilariously wicked as high school cool kids, and Piper Laurie is very scary in her unforgettable role as Carrie’s mom. Bloody 70’s fun from master director Brian DePalma on the big screen in the cemetery! Dress up for our prom dance under the stars and jump in our photobooth with your date before the movie.
Pee-wee’s Big Adventure
Pee-wee’s prize possession is his bike, and when it’s mysterious stolen, he travels across America to try to get it back, and meets a wild cast of characters on the way. Tim Burton’s breakout feature redefined the eighties with its style as Pee-wee set comedy on its ear and became one of the world’s most popular (unlikely) heroes. Join us for a celebration of this film under the stars with DJ Chris Holmes, a Pee-wee photobooth and some special surprises!
THE VIRGIN SUICIDES
Sofia Coppola’s look into the dreamy and melancholy world of five teenage sisters, starring Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett, Kathleen Turner and James Woods. The Lisbon girls are mysterious and untouchable and all the boys are obsessed with finding out what’s behind those big blue eyes. When the boys try to unlock the secret to a hometown tragedy, they discover a story of how hard it is to be a teenage girl.
Gentle and beautiful at times, haunting and enigmatic at others, this has become one of the seminal films of the 90s. French band Air provides a stellar soundtrack, while golden photography and kaleidoscopic montage make for a truly gorgeous film. Join us for this special night under the stars!
