			Hangover Square John Brahm, 1945, USA; 77m Cited by Stephen Sondheim as one of the inspirations for Sweeney Todd, director John Brahm’s hair-raising chiller stars the inimitable Laird Cregar as a Victorian-era composer whose amnesiac “little black moods” mysteriously coincide with a madman’s murderous attacks on the good people of London. Propelled by one of Bernard Herrmann’s finest scores, this 77-minute noir gem features a sensational performance by the garrulous Cregar in the role that launched him on the crash diet ultimately blamed for his untimely death from a heart attack at age 31.

			Kiss of Death Henry Hathaway, 1947, USA; 98m Richard Widmark pushed a wheelchair-bound old lady down a flight of stairs—and catapulted himself into movie stardom—in his Oscar-nominated debut performance as sadistic hired gun Tommy Udo in Henry Hathaway’s blisteringly intense noir classic. Sprung from Sing Sing on the condition that he cooperate with an ongoing murder investigation, hard-luck ex-con Victor Mature tries to lure Udo into the DA’s web, only to find himself the latest target of this cold-blooded psycho killer.

			Nightmare Alley Edmund Goulding, 1947, USA; 110m “Once seen, is not easily forgotten. Remarkably sordid.” --J. Hoberman In Edmund Goulding’s unapologetically lurid morality play, con man Tyrone Power joins a third-rate traveling carnival, where he insinuates himself into the lives of an ex-vaudeville psychic (Joan Blondell) and her alcoholic sideshow-freak husband. Having obtained the psychic’s mind-reading secret, he trades the fairgrounds for the high-society nightclub circuit, only to find himself trapped in an even more vicious circle of duplicity and deception. Can he ever escape from Nightmare Alley?		Buy Tickets Sat Sep 4: 4:30
			M*A*S*H Robert Altman, 1970, USA; 116m New Print! Q&A with cast members Elliott Gould, Sally Kellerman and Tom Skerritt, and Kathryn Reed Altman (widow of Robert Altman) following screening! “The best American war comedy since sound came in.” --Pauline Kael Forty years on, Robert Altman’s gleefully subversive military satire hasn’t lost an ounce of its anti-authoritarian bite. So join the crack staff of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital as they soldier through the Korean War like a band of merry pranksters, laughing so as not to cry at the horror and absurdity that surrounds them.

			Vanishing Point Richard C. Sarafian, 1971, USA; 99m New Print! One of the choice pictures from the post-Sixties come-down is this road movie on amphetamines. Vietnam veteran, former police officer, and ace driver Kowalski (determined Barry Newman) takes a car cross-country and tries to outrun the law in an existentialist race to the final end. The sweet Dodge Challenger that is his muscle car of choice roars across the screen, spawning a cult virtually all its own among auto buffs. Featuring the off-the-wall radio-DJ stylings of Cleavon Little, chorus to Kowalski’s death trip.		Buy Tickets Sat Sep 4: 10:00
			The Ox-Bow Incident William A. Wellman, 1943, USA; 75m This stark look at vigilantism in the Wild West stars Henry Fonda as a drifter who warily joins a posse of Nevada townsfolk in pursuit of murderous cattle rustlers. Once the supposed culprits are found, he vainly tries to temper the crowd’s cries for vengeance. William A. Wellman’s atmospheric direction and a brilliant cast led by Fonda’s almost conscience-driven performance drive this grim, gripping examination of mob rule and the dark side of frontier justice. With Henry Morgan, Dana Andrews, and Anthony Quinn.		Buy Tickets Sun Sep 5: 12:00
			Niagara Henry Hathaway, 1953, USA; 92m Restored Print! In one of her first leading roles, Marilyn Monroe sizzles as the flirtatious younger wife of jealous, mentally unstable George Loomis (Joseph Cotten). When two honeymooners (Max Showalter and Jean Peters) unexpectedly share a Niagara Falls cabin with this unhappy pair, foul play soon follows. The rare noir film shot in glorious Technicolor, the movie lives up to the breathless promise of its trailer: “Niagara and Marilyn Monroe: The two most electrifying sights in the world!”		Buy Tickets Sun Sep 5: 1:35
			All About Eve Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950, USA; 138m Restored Print! “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!” Bette Davis stars as an aging Broadway actress opposite Anne Baxter as a manipulative fan who wants everything her idol has––literally. Winning enough Oscars to fill a trophy case, All About Eve remains the backstage-backstabbing jaw-dropper to beat. It’s a witty, devious delight from start to finish thanks to Davis, Baxter in all her bushy-tailed perfidy, and George Sanders as Addison DeWitt, with trademark world-weary cynicism.

			Alien (Director's Cut) Ridley Scott, 1979, USA; 137m Q&A with Tom Skerritt following the screening! The most powerful follow-up to Fox’s own Star Wars came from a British ad director who reinvented horror in space through claustrophobic suspense and an unforgettable monster. On a desolate spaceship, a dwindling crew (Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Harry Dean Stanton, et al.) battles an unruly stowaway that makes one of the most memorable entrances in all of cinema. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and justly nominated for Best Art Direction (thanks to the ship’s design: dark, industrial corridors that still influence science-fiction films today).

			Fight Club David Fincher, 1999, USA; 139m “Stunning, mordantly funny, formally dazzling.” —Gavin Smith, Film Comment “A film without a single redeeming quality, which may have to find its audience in hell.” —Rex Reed, The New York Observer Brad Pitt and Ed Norton star in the addictive cult classic that’s a powder-keg satire on masculinity, consumerism, and self-made revolution. Based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, its propulsive story of working-stiff breakdown and underground beatdowns reportedly had studio execs breaking out in a cold sweat. It was an early confirmation of the extraordinary talents of filmmaker David Fincher (director of the highly anticipated film The Social Network).		Buy Tickets Sun Sep 5: 9:15
			Gentleman's Agreement Elia Kazan, 1947, USA; 118m Restored Print! A writer (Gregory Peck) goes undercover to research a story about anti-Semitism and discovers the limits of even the most liberal segments of polite society. Numerous awards, including the Academy and New York Film Critics nods for Best Picture, went to this adaptation of the Laura Z. Hobson novel which took a hard look at post-WWII America. With John Garfield as the writer’s friend, delivering an extraordinary account of the last minutes of a fellow Jew on a European battlefield.		Buy Tickets Mon Sep 6: 12:00
			Cleopatra Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1963, USA; 243m 70mm! The movie that almost sank the studio, Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s years-in-the-making epic to end all epics cost a staggering $44 million in 1963 dollars, and remains an eye-popping spectacle today—especially in widescreen 70mm! Sporting a world-record number of costumes (including one made of 24K gold), Elizabeth Taylor strides into the role of the eponymous teen queen, and into the heart of both Julius Caesar (Oscar-nominated Rex Harrison) and Mark Antony (Richard Burton). Ancient Egypt—and the Hollywood gossip columns—would never be the same again.		Buy Tickets Mon Sep 6: 3:00
			Patton Franklin J. Schaffner, 1970, USA; 169m/179m 70mm! Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Director and Original Screenplay (co-written by the young Francis Coppola), Franklin J. Schaffner’s magisterial biopic of General George S. Patton, Jr. channels the monomaniacal intensity of the man himself, focusing on Patton’s WWII triumphs to the virtual exclusion of his non-military life. In his most iconic role, for which he won (and refused to accept) the 1971 Best Actor Oscar, George C. Scott commands the troops—and the screen—with spellbinding intensity, from his unforgettable entrance framed by Old Glory to his final realization that “all glory is fleeting.” “It is one of those sublime performances in which the personalities of the actor and the character are fulfilled in one another.” --Roger Ebert		Buy Tickets Mon Sep 6: 8:00
