In CHINATOWN, Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson smolder against the backdrop of 1930’s Los Angeles, depicted as a hotbed of corruption in a narrative firmly grounded in historical fact based on the real history of California's so-called "water wars". Director Roman Polanski called the plot twist at the heart of this quintessential film noir—his last American film—the “very darkness of the human soul.” Nicholson gives one of his greatest performances as private eye J.J. Gittes, maneuvering through a nightmarish L.A. netherworld of cheating husbands, stolen water rights, incest and murder, as he desperately tries to save beautiful Faye Dunaway from her raptor-like father (John Huston). Fifty years after its release CHINATOWN continues to reverberate with filmgoers and critics who consider it one of the it the greatest films of all time. New restoration!

In May of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico. A provocative, era-defining comedic modern western from Ari Aster that unpacks the forces that led us to where we are today, featuring a powerhouse ensemble including Austin Butler and Emma Stone. EDDINGTON is a film microcosm of life in the misinformation age, one that correctly notes we've lost ourselves… if in fact we ever had actual selves worth holding onto. The lunatics run the asylum now.

Welcome to Tromaville, New Jersey – a small American town, terrorized by criminals. The town's corrupt mayor sits idly by, while muggers, robbers and teenage punks victimize helpless citizens. Among the residents of Tromaville is Melvin, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club. That is, until he becomes THE TOXIC AVENGER! A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into The Toxic Avenger, doer of good, and brutal mauler of evil! The original TOXIC AVENGER stands with PINK FLAMINGOS and EVIL DEAD as one of the most gleefully offensive “midnight movies” of the twentieth century, restored and uncut on the big screen!

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich might be famous for his public service, best-selling books, and viral social media posts, but he always considered teaching his true calling. Now, after over 40 years and an extraordinary 40,000 students, Reich is preparing for his last class. THE LAST CLASS captures a master educator wrestling with the dual realities of his own aging and his students inheriting a world out of balance. Reich confronts the impending finality with unflinching candor, humor, introspection, and a rawness of emotion he has never shared publicly before. One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on campus—the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that society has to stay the way it is. His final assignment: Who will be the teachers of tomorrow? Step into the mind, heart, and classroom of a teacher who will change how you see the world, and yourself in it.

HOT AUGUST NOIR!

50th anniversary! New restoration! Arthur Penn’s haunting neonoir reimagines the hard-boiled detective film for the disillusioned, paranoid 1970s. In one of his greatest performances, Gene Hackman oozes world-weary cynicism as a private investigator whose search for an actress’s missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) leads him from the Hollywood Hills to the Florida Keys, where he is pulled into a sordid family drama and a sinister conspiracy he can hardly grasp. If you doubted that Gene Hackman was one of the best actors of his generation, watch this definitive New Hollywood noir. The daringly labyrinthine NIGHT MOVES is a defining work of post-Watergate cinema—a silent scream of existential dread and moral decay whose legend has only grown with time.

75th anniversary! New restoration! Iconic, darkly comedic, thrilling, and arguably the greatest movie about Hollywood, Billy Wilder's masterpiece SUNSET BOULEVARD is a tremendously entertaining combination of noir, black comedy, and character study. Fame isn’t forever—just ask Norma Desmond. Once a Hollywood legend, now a forgotten relic, she refuses to fade away. When struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis stumbles into her decaying mansion, he becomes trapped in her web of obsession, control, and delusion. What starts as an opportunity soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Dark, twisted, and eerily relevant, SUNSET BOULEVARD is a haunting look at Hollywood’s unrelenting cycle—where youth is currency, talent is fleeting, and no one stays in the spotlight forever. Are you ready for your close-up?
