APRIL 20 - SOMETHING WILD (1986)
Wild is the word for this deliriously rambunctious film, full of jaw-dropping twists and surprises. A shy and awkward young man is taken for the ride of his life by an unimaginably unhinged and uninhibited young woman of the world. This reckless journey proves to be much more than either of them could have possibly bargained for. Expect the unexpected in this completely different kind of comic thriller; a genuine cult film from the iconic director of Silence of the Lambs. Starring Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels, Ray Liotta, Margaret Colon. Cameos by John Waters and John Sayles. Directed by JONATHAN DEMME. In Color. 113 mins. 1986.
APRIL 27 - DINER (1982)
The film that Vanity Fair called “the most influential film of the 80s.” A cast of virtual nobodies (including the director) became immediately ingrained in the public’s imagination in its aftermath—a film seemingly about nothing other than the convivial chit chat between a group of young guys on the verge of sudden manhood in Baltimore, 1959. But of course, it’s so much more than that. The once in a lifetime cast (most, if not all of them being seen for the first time) includes Mickey Rourke, Keven Bacon, Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Ellen Barkin, Tim Daly, Paul Reiser, Michael Tucker. Written and directed by Barry Levenson. In Color. 110 mins. 1982.
MAY 4 - E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Who but Steven Spielberg could have brought such a magical cinematic experience to the big screen? No one, that’s who. The simple story of a ten-year-old boy who befriends an alien from another planet who finds itself stranded and alone on Earth remains one of the key films of the 1980s. As heartwarming as anything this great director has ever given us and every bit as inspiring as it was forty-two years ago. Starring Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Drew Barrymore, Robert MacNaughton. Written and directed by STEVEN SPIELBERG. In Color. 115 mins. 1982.
(PLEASE NOTE): This will be the original 1982 theatrical cut.
