Space Jam

Remember that time that Michael Jordan helped Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird, and a bunch of your other favourite Loony Toons play a basketball game against aliens (and Danny DeVito) in the name of personal freedom? Of course you do! Because it’s SPACE JAM, it’s awesome, and it’s our Friday Late

Annie Hall

“Most of us… Need the eggs.” Widely regarded as one of – if not the – best romantic comedies of all time, Woody Allen’s ANNIE HALL broke rules and new ground when it was released in 1976, and has since become archetypical in its influence. Often replicated but never duplicated,

Casablanca

“Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.” Can there be anything said about CASABLANCA that hasn’t already been said? Sitting comfortably at the #1 spot on the American Film Institute’s ‘100 Greatest Love Stories of All Time,’ this

Labyrinth

“In 9 hours and 23 minutes… You’ll be mine.” We are tipping our hat to the late, great, David Bowie (on his birthday!)with a screening of the puppet-filled fantasy fable LABYRINTH. Kids pricing is in effect for this one, so we invite everyone to come out and “dance,

Coraline

“Be careful what you wish for…” Based on the popular children’s book by celebrated cult author Nail Gaiman, CORALINE tells the story of a precocious, adventurous young girl who happens upon a strangely idealized parallel universe behind a secret door in her new home. Behind the door, however,

A Christmas Story

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.” For many people, the magic of the holiday season does not hit until (and perhaps unless) the nostalgic and utterly hilarious cinematic chestnut about a boy in the 1940s whose only real desire is to have Santa Claus gift him an official

Elf (Singalong!)

“I just like to smile! Smiling’s my favorite.” Make merry-merry with a special Buddy’s Singlaong screening of the adorably hilarious and utterly charming modern Christmas classic, ELF. Will Ferrell stars as one of Santa’s best helpers, a human named Buddy who heads home to New York City in
