Let's preview the schedule:
MARCH 22, 2010: GOOD THE BAD AND UGLY: Sergio Leone introduced spaghetti westerns to the U.S. in this 1966 Italian epic that featured Clint Eastwood , Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. This is the third film in the "Dollars" trilogy ("A Firstful of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More") . Story follows three gunslingers competing for a fortune in Confederate gold.
MARCH 29, 2010: BREAKFAST CLUB: John Hughes assembled an ensemble teen cast for this icon of his generation of teens. Molly ("Pretty in Pink") Ringwald featured as the average, nerdish gal coping with acceptance and clichés. But, this is an "all star" Hughes teen cast: Emilo Estevez, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy. The them... five different school stereotypes --- a jock, princess, misfit, nerd and lout --- meet in a Saturday morning weekend detention class. Wait until the principal leaves the room.
APRIL 4-5,2010: GONE WITH THE WIND: Frankly, you do give a damn, especially if you want to see the majesty of the Civil War classic the way it was meant to be seen --- on the giant screen. Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh star in the timeless classic which before DVD/VHS, used to make the rounds every few years as a "revival" at mainstream theatres.
APRIL 12,2010: GODFATHER: Francis Ford Coppola's intricate, vivid and bloody step into the family values of the mob (i.e. Mafia). Documents hot the Mafia shifted from bootlegging to more legitimate activities, including casino gambling. Contains the disgusting horse-head scene.
APRIL 19,2010: CITIZEN KANE: Orson Wells divulges the life of an American media magnate (actually William Randolph Hearst) told in flashback through the research of a newspaper reporter trying to solve a mystery. Well respected film critics have called it the greatest movie of all time. Signature phrase: "Rosebud."
APRIL 26,2010: THE SHINING: Jack Nicholson stars in this Stephen King psychological horror thriller directed by Stanley Kubrick. Nicholson plays a writer who "hotel sits" a facility that's always snowed in during the winter. However, his son's psychic abilities enable him to see the past (ghosts of those murdered) and the future (where the ghosts attempt to possess dad).
