Roger Corman, special effects guru Rick Baker, director Ernest Dickerson and Dick Miller himself, will appear in person after GREMLINS I & II, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, A BUCKET OF BLOOD and WAR OF THE SATELLITES.

If you have something urgent to text or e-mail, go out in the lobby. We don’t want to create more of a disturbance by asking you to leave in the middle of a show.

Screwball Comedies, Social Satires: The American Dreams of Frank Capra
Frank Capra’s 1934 screwball classic IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHTwas the first to sweep the top Oscar categories, and though Capra never abandoned comedy – he helmed such hilarious features as YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU and ARSENIC AND OLD LACE- he increasingly used his cachet to explore more serious themes, including politics (MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON) and business (IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE). Join us for a retrospective saluting the American director.

Jean-Luc Godard’s Latest Film in 3D
Exclusive Los Angeles Engagement! Tickets On Sale Now!
GOODBYE TO LANGUAGE
At last, Jean-Luc Godard’s highly anticipated Cannes Film Festival Jury prize winner hits the big screen! The protean French director’s latest is a vibrant visual essay as well as a narrative – a married woman’s relationship with a single man (and Godard’s dog, Roxy) is just the jumping-off point. Both beautiful and mischievous, this Godard masterpiece is bold in its disregard for the conventions of 3-D filmmaking, challenging the audience to discover hidden layers of imagery, and making this a unique film that can only be savored in a theater. “A thrilling cinematic experience.” – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times. “An adrenaline shot to the brain.” – Scott Foundas, Variety. “Packed with dazzling images, the film makes 3-D feel like something brand-new to the medium.” – Joe McGovern, Entertainment Weekly. In French with English subtitles.
