Cocaine Bear

Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner’s plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild thriller finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500- pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount

Cobra

The Rio’s Friday Late Night Movie series continues on May 31 with Sylvester Stallone in the ultra-violent (yet deliciously cheesey) 1986 crime thriller COBRA. “It is such an exercise in pure unchecked and misplaced testosterone run amuck… that it exerts strange but undeniable fascination.” (The Spool) Bonus Points:

Clueless (30th Anniversary Screening)

“Rollin’ with the homies….” December 16 marks literary icon Jane Austen’s 250th birthday, and we’re teaming up with The Jane Austen Society of Vancouver to celebrate her enduring legacy with a double bill featuring two beloved (and very different!) cinematic adaptations of her classic romantic novel, “Emma”

Clue (40th Anniversary Restoration)

It was Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with a candlestick… Based on the popular board game CLUE, this live-action adaptation received mixed reviews upon release, but in the years since it has taken on a life of its own and become a total cult movie – perfect

Clown in a Cornfield

The adaptation of author Adam Cesare’s CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD recreates what makes the young adult novel and its subsequent sequels so special: it speaks to a younger generation about the frustrating generational divide while never sacrificing the horror. This slasher movie knows the best way

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (4K Restoration)

In Steven Spielberg‘s classic sci-fi adventure film, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (beautifully remastered for its 40th Anniversary in 2017), Richard Dreyfuss stars as cable worker Roy Neary, who along with several other stunned bystanders experience a close encounter of the first kind – witnessing UFOs soaring across the

Climax

From visionary writer-director Gaspar Noé (IRREVERSIBLE, ENTER THE VOID, LOVE) comes a hypnotic, hallucinatory, and ultimately hair-raising depiction of a party that descends into delirium over the course of one wintry night, when a troupe of young dancers gathers in a remote and empty school building to rehearse. Following an

Clerks

“This job would be great if it wasn’t for the f***ing customers.” In 1994, a young writer-director (and Vancouver Film School dropout) named Kevin Smith made a huge splash on the cinematic landscape with his feature debut CLERKS; an oddball, brazen, occasionally filthy (snowball!) yet thoroughly independent effort that centered

Civil War

From filmmaker Alex Garland (EX MACHINA, ANNIHILATION) comes a journey across a dystopian future America, following a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach DC before rebel factions descend upon the White House. With Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman, Jesse Plemons. “In a
