WEDNESDAY MAY 23 BUD CORT DOUBLE FEATURE
HAROLD AND MAUDE 3:05, 7:00
Bud Cort, Ruth Gordon and a wall-to-wall Cat Stevens soundtrack star in Hal Ashby's darkly comic love story between a suicidal 20-year-old boy and a 79-year-old woman, each sharing a fascination with death. Working from Colin Higgins' highly original script, Ashby keeps the proceedings honest with his touch; as a plus he sets their adventures amongst the gorgeous (now almost unrecognizable) surroundings of the Bay Area. (1971, 91 min, 35mm)
+ BREWSTER McCLOUD 4:55, 8:50
In Robert Altman's relentlessly quirky follow-up of M*A*S*H, Cort plays a peculiar fellow who lives in the Houston Astrodome, learning to fly its confines with self-made wings. Meanwhile, a murder investigation is afoot, the victims covered in bird droppings. With Sally Kellerman, Michael Murphy, Bert Remsen and Shelley Duvall in her debut. (1970, 105 min, 35mm 'Scope) |

THURSDAY MAY 24 DOUBLE FEATURE
BARFLY 7:00
Mickey Rourke redeemed himself from 9 1/2 Weeks when he teamed up with Faye Dunaway, writer Charles Bukowski and director Barbet Schroeder for this celebration of grandiose self-abasement. With a steady stream of R&B grooves on the jukebox, drinking and fighting never looked so good, thanks to superb performances and the ugly beauty of Robby Muller's cinematography. Alice Krige and Frank Stallone so-star. (1987, 99 min, 35mm)
+ ROAD HOUSE 9:00
In this punch-drunk drive-in classic, Patrick Swayze brings his requisite conviction to the role of a bas-ass bouncer protecting a Kansas City honky tonk from sadistic crime boss Ben Gazzara and his lugheads. An intoxicating mix of martial arts, explosions, Playboy centerfolds and the Jeff Healy Band – all directed with prime panache by the under-utilized Rowdy Harrington. Kelly Lynch and Sam Elliott co-star. (1989, 114 min, 35mm 'Scope)

FRIDAY MAY 25 DOUBLE FEATURE
NIGHTMARE ALLEY 7:00
Director Edmund Goulding and star Tyrone Power followed up The Razor's Edge (1946) with what has often been described as the grimmest of all Hollywood noirs. Power plays a carnival con man who outsmarts himself and suffers a horrendous fate in this mean, moody, and magnificent melodrama. Joan Blondell, Coleen Gray and Helen Walker co-star; shot by Lee Garmes. (1947, 111 min, 35mm)
+ THE WARRIORS 9:10
Walter Hill's hyper-stylized actioner about a Coney Island gang chased by vengeful other gangs from the Bronx back to their home turf. The universe Hill and cinematographer Andrew Laszlo create is a futuristic one, but its distinct '70s vibe makes the whole scenario play out like an urban nightmare. Michael Beck, James Remar, Deborah Van Valkenburgh and David Patrick Kelly star. (1979, 92 min, 35mm) |

HUGO in 3D Mon 2:20, 7:00; Tue 7:00
Based on the children's book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Martin Scorsese's charming film tells the story of both an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station and the early days of filmmaking, paying tribute to the genius of real-life French filmmaker Georges Méliès. "Hugo is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart." - Roger Ebert. Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz, Ben Kingsley and Sacha Baron Cohen star.

Co-written by Edgar Wright, the first installment in the series finds adventure-seeking Belgian reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell) and surly Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) racing to recover a treasure that was lost at sea four centuries ago. Meanwhile, the malevolent Red Rackham (Daniel Craig) is determined to beat them to it. (2011, 107 min, DCP 3D 'Scope) |

WEDNESDAY MAY 30 DOUGLAS SIRK DOUBLE FEATURE
WRITTEN ON THE WIND 3:05, 7:00
Bathed in lurid Technicolor, melodrama maestro Douglas Sirk’s masterpiece is the stylishly debauched tale of a Texas oil magnate brought down by the excesses of his spoiled offspring. Features an all-star quartet that includes Robert Stack as a pistol-packin’ alcoholic playboy; Lauren Bacall as his long-suffering wife; Rock Hudson as his earthy best friend; and Dorothy Malone (who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance) as his nymphomaniac sister. (1956, 99 min, 35mm)
+ THE TARNISHED ANGELS 5:05, 9:00
Hudson, Stack and Malone return in Sirk's seething, fast-paced companion piece to Written on the Wind, adapted from a William Faulkner novel. Set in New Orleans during the depression, it follows the exploits of a family of daredevil pilots and their loyal mechanic, barely able to eke out a living as barnstormers in the dangerous and dying profession. Jack Carson co-stars. (1958, 91 min, 35mm 'Scope) |

THURSDAY MAY 31 CLINT'S BIRTHDAY DOUBLE FEATURE
A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS 2:30, 7:00
Clint Eastwood's first Man with No Name adventure finds him double playing two rival gangs in a small border town. In remaking Yojimbo, director Sergio Leone single-handedly took the "spaghetti western" to another level, simultaneously launching the international careers of Eastwood and composer Ennio Morricone. (1964, 99 min, 35mm 'Scope)
+ THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES 4:25, 9:00
On the short list of great westerns, Eastwood plays a Missouri farmer turned stone-cold killer when he joins a Confederate guerrilla unit and winds up on the run from the Union vigilantes who murdered his family. Chief Dan George co-stars as a Comanche leader, along with Sondra Locke and John Vernon; stylishly shot by Bruce Surtees. (1976, 135 min, 35mm 'Scope) |

FRIDAY JUNE 1–SUNDAY JUNE 3
75TH ANNIVERSARY RESTORATION!
GRAND ILLUSION Fri 7:00, 9:20; Sat & Sun (2:00), 4:30, 7:00, 9:20
"A MAGNIFICENT RESTORATION WE SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL FOR!" – Martin Scorsese
Frequently cited as one of the greatest films about war, Grand Illusion is further hailed as one of the greatest films ever made. Jean Renoir’s eloquent study of French soldiers held in a World War I German prison camp explores the bonds that bind them: be they national, fraternal, or social class, and the complex, troubling conflicts they present. Banned in Italy and Germany, the antiwar masterpiece stars Jean Gabin, Pierre Fresnay and the unforgettable Erich von Stroheim. This new 35mm print was made from a 4K restoration; in French with newly-revised English subtitles. (1937, 114 min, 35mm)
