Sunday, February 2, 2025: The Heist Film
The Sting (1973, PG).
Butch and Sundance swap the mustache and give us the all-time legendary con film. Paul Newman and Robert Redford, at the peak of their charisma, are up against dangerous gangster Robert Shaw in 1930’s Chicago. But can they beat him without a fight? Share this one with a hundred of your new best friends, and prepare to have 129 minutes of unbridled fun.
Sunday, February 23, 2025: Celebrating Black History Month with a Modern Classic
Do the Right Thing (1989, R).
Director Spike Lee’s masterpiece takes you into Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood as residents struggle with blistering summer heat and simmering divides. It is both a riveting drama and an extremely funny comedy. Featuring Bill Nunn, John Turturro, Samuel L. Jackson, and the legendary Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, it is an important, gorgeously shot, and highly entertaining piece of filmmaking which clearly deserves to be seen on the Big Screen.
Sunday, March 2, 2025: The Palestrant Hidden Gem™
What’s Up Doc? (1972, G).
Rarely seen on a big screen, this screwball comedy starts Barbara Streisand and Ryan O’Neal in a madcap tribute to the lightning-paced gems of the 40’s. It also has a car chase that ‘Mission: Impossible’ director Christopher McQuarrie cites as the finest ever filmed. Comedies are better with a big audience, and this one will not quit!
Sunday, March 9, 2025: The Bard is Back!
Much Ado About Nothing (1993, PG-13).
Shakespeare was never meant to be read! The Bard certainly never published his plays in his lifetime. But what a difference a great cast can make! In 1993, Kenneth Branagh was the new prodigy of directing and performing Shakespeare on stage and screen. For his follow-up to his smash Henry V, he gave us this: the most entertaining Shakespeare adaptation ever filmed. A hilarious comedy, a love story, and a bit of adventure, Branagh stars and directs, playing against his then-wife Emma Thompson and an all-star cast including Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves.
