The Outsiders

Coppola’s iconic portrait of youth gone wild is alternately fierce and eerily beautiful. It’s the greasers versus the socs as bravery and friendship are put to the test. When two poor greasers, Johnny and Ponyboy, are attacked, tension begins to mount between two rival gangs. The Outsiders stars the brightest stars of a generation, including Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Tom Cruise, Ralph Maccio, C Thomas Howell and Emilio Estevez. DJ Turquoise Wisdom spins records before and after the screening.

A Clockwork Orange

Kubrick’s extraordinary vision of a dystopic future is a demented fun house ride of a political satire. Pulsating with pop imagery, vivid colors and synth melodies it is a future of wild design and psychedelic cool.  Malcolm McDowell is superb as Alex, a modern youth with a taste for violence who becomes the subject of a state experiment. A Clockwork Orange is a film only Kubrick could bring us: at once brainy, unsettling and darkly funny.

CASABLANCA

Gripping, beautiful and genuinely moving, this espionage thriller has become one of the most celebrated films of all time. Bogart’s cool demeanor belies a heart of gold when he encounters an old flame in the war torn, exotic city of Casablanca. Ingrid Bergman is never more ravishing, desperate and courageous, and romance never more delicate, than in this timeless classic. See it under the stars and on the big screen!

DJ John Tripp spins before and after the screening.

There’s Something About Mary

Only the Farrelly Brothers can combine raunch and romance so cleverly in a comedy and never do they do it as well as in There’s Something About Mary. It’s a story that calls to the teen romantic in all of us: getting a second chance at the one who got away. When Ted gets that chance against great odds, it’s true love that is at stake. Uproarious 90s fun that changed the genre forever. Starring Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon. Music in the film is provided by charming post punk icon Jonathan Richmond. DJ Andy Votel spins before and after the screening.
