All Tickets: $5.00 (ticket prices include $2.00 facility fee)
TO CATCH A THIEF (1955) - One of the most captivating collaborations between director Alfred Hitchcock and movie star Cary Grant succeeds effortlessly on charm, sophistication, and star chemistry.
Dashing and debonair John Robie (Cary Grant) is a reformed jewel thief with a colorful past who has retired to a French vineyard. But now a jewel thief is imitating his methods in a series of thefts along the French Riviera. Naturally, the police think that Robie, who was known as “The Cat,” has returned to his thieving ways. Brash American heiress Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly) seems to be a likely target for the copycat thief's next strike, and she's all too eager to play along. Gorgeous scenery, Oscar-winning cinematography, and the pure unadulterated pleasure of watching Cary Grant and Grace Kelly match wits make this film a not-to-be-missed classic.

DIRTY HARRY
Rated: "R" ~ Running time: 102 minutes
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00 | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00 (ticket prices include $2.00 facility fee)
DIRTY HARRY (1971) - "Being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head
clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
One of the most-quoted films of all time features a career-defining performance by Clint Eastwood
as the authority figure who hates authority. It's hard to like San Francisco Police Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan, but it's impossible
to ignore him. He may be the worst cop in San Francisco or the unluckiest, but he's effective. Foul-mouthed, cynical, and
politically incorrect, Dirty Harry battles assorted hoodlums and corrupt bureaucrats while trailing
"Scorpio" (Andrew Robinson) - a serial sniper who is terrorizing the Bay Area with random assassinations. Along the way,
Harry makes no friends, makes some new enemies, and violates at least seven constitutional amendments.
This is the film that launched a thousand sequels, homages and rip-offs, but it's still the best of all of them.
This is THE Great American Police Action Movie!

ROMAN HOLIDAY
Running time: 118 minutes
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00 | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00 (ticket prices include $2.00 facility fee)
ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953) - While on an official visit to Rome a bored young Princess Anne (Audrey Hepburn) slips away
from her handlers to sample the wonders of the ancient city - incognito. When she encounters down-on-his-luck reporter Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), all Joe can think about at first is the world's biggest scoop. All Princess Anne can think about is sampling the life of a commoner,
free from royal responsibilities. Soon enough, the sensual city of Rome works its romance and to nobody's surprise but Joe's and Anne's, love blooms. A tribute to and a time capsule of post-war Italy, this is one of the first major Hollywood films shot on location. A black-listed
Dalton Trumbo won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay (though his Oscar was accepted by a front man).
Previously known only to British movie-goers, Hepburn garnered both Golden Globe and Academy Awards for Best Actress for her performance in this film that launched her Hollywood career.

MARY POPPINS
Running time: 139 minutes
Box Office opens @ 6:00pm | Doors open @ 7:00 | Curtain rises @ 8:00pm
All Tickets: $5.00 (ticket prices include $2.00 facility fee)
MARY POPPINS (1964) - A mystical nanny literally falls from the London sky and into the lives of two lonely children. Hailed as one of Walt Disney's greatest films and winning Julie Andrews the Best Actress Oscar for her title role, this remains one of the most popular movies ever made. Mary Poppins sums up everything that is good about Disney motion pictures: great characters, wonderful showmanship and a strong story. Released just two years before he died, in 1964, Mary Poppins, with its unique combination of live action and animation, was Walt Disney's swansong and truly deserves the term "masterpiece" that was applied to his earliest work.
(The film received 13 Academy Awards nominations and won 5 awards: Best Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Original Music Score, Best Song for "Chim Chim Cher-ee", Best Special Visual Effects.)
