Universal Horror: Frankenstein

One of the greatest, most influential monster movies ever made, James Whale's FRANKENSTEIN is essential viewing. Based on Mary Shelley's tale of the mad scientist who creates a monster, FRANKENSTEIN has gone down in cinema history for its iconic Boris Karloff performance, groundbreaking makeup, and, of course, the immortal line, “It’s alive!”

THE WORLD OF WONG KAR WAI

The World of Wong Kar-Wai continues with CHUNGKING EXPRESS in a new 4K re-master!

Two Nights Only: Nov 1 & 3

Two melancholy Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious female underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal waitress at a late-night restaurant he frequents.

"The masterful Wong Kar-wai crafts this exquisitely shot film - two films in one, really - into a meditation on love. Along the way, he uses music as only he can..." - Film Companion.

Nov 1 & 2. See it on the big screen!

A wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.

"The slick satire cleverly equates materialism, narcissism, misogyny, and classism with homicide, but you may laugh so loud at the protagonist that you won't be able to hear yourself laughing with him." - Chicago Reader

THE ROOM Nov 3

With a Live introduction by a fan of THE ROOM!

Don't miss it! Nov 3. Get tickets!

Grab some friends, grab some spoons and get ready to have an unreal cinematic experience! "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!"

The Room: 20th Anniversary!

"To make a movie so bad it's good you need vision, drive, luck and obsessive vanity. Fortuitously Tommy Wiseau appears to possess all of these qualities, combined with a total lack of acting talent." - The Guardian

“Tommy Wiseau’s The Room may be the first true successor to the Rocky Horror throne. Wiseau's Johnny is the noblest of boyfriends and most capable of lovers. But none of that satisfies his fiancée Lisa, a wicked Jezebel whose boredom with Johnny manifests in a brazen affair with his best friend.
