James Cameron’s directorial debut is a delicious slice of 80s kitsch worthy of a July 4th feast! While investigating the mysterious death of a diver, scuba instructor Anne (Tricia O’Neil) makes a horrific discovery: mutated piranhas, with wings that enable them to fly, are responsible! As the body count rises, Anne desperately tries to convince the manager of the resort to call off the annual fish fry on the beach, but he’s determined to give his guests the ultimate feeding frenzy. Also staring Lance Henriksen!

And their fate rests on the silicon shoulders of the computer they reawaken, HAL-9000. Based on Arthur C. Clarke’s sequel, director Peter Hyams spellbinder was nominated for 5 Academy Awards. Starring Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban and Keir Dullea.

09

Long before the concept of CGI was in the ether, writer/director Crichton predicted that computers would someday replace live actors on film sets in this mind-bending thriller. Albert Finney stars as a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon whose supermodel clients start dying mysteriously. Susan Dey plays his latest patient, also now in peril. And James Coburn is the head of a research facility which has developed a subtly hypnotic way to sell things.

Lucio Fulci’s

DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING (R, 1972, 108 min)

One of the most powerful and unsettling giallos ever produced, Duckling is widely regarded as Fulci's greatest film. When a sleepy rural village in the early 70s is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locals are quick to blame the local witch (Florinda Bolkan). With the bodies piling up and the community gripped by a thirst for vengeance, two journalists team up to crack the case. But before the mystery is solved, more blood will have been spilled, and not all of it belonging to innocents.

Viewer’s Guide: Strong sexualized violence.

Pack your bags for one of movie history's greatest trips, a nifty film noir worthy of being bracketed in the same group of train thrillers headed by Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes. Charles McGraw plays a cop guarding a gangster's moll (Marie Windsor) as she travels west by train to testify before a grand jury. Also riding the tracks are determined hitmen who know the moll is on the train, but don't know what she looks like. All aboard!

TO BE OR NOT TO BE As nervy as it is hilarious, this screwball masterpiece stars Jack Benny and, in her final screen appearance, Carole Lombard as husbandand-wife thespians in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who become caught up in a dangerous spy plot. This is a Hollywood film of the boldest black humor, which went into production soon after the U.S. entered World War II. Lubitsch manages to brilliantly balance political satire, romance, slapstick, and urgent wartime suspense in a comic high-wire act that has never been equaled.

12

I MARRIED A WITCH Veronica Lake casts a seductive spell as a charmingly vengeful sorceress in this supernatural screwball classic. Many centuries after cursing the male descendants of the Salem puritan who sent her to the stake, this blonde bombshell with a broomstick finds herself drawn to one of them—a prospective governor (Fredric March) about to marry a spoiled socialite (Susan Hayward). This delightful film is a comic confection bursting with playful special effects and sparkling witticisms.

(1948, 134 min)

This singular fantasia is cinema’s quintessential backstage drama, as well as one of the most glorious Technicolor visual feasts ever concocted for the screen. Moira Shearer (Peeping Tom) is a rising star ballerina romantically torn between an idealistic composer and a ruthless impresario intent on perfection. Featuring outstanding performances, beautiful cinematography by Jack Cardiff (The African Queen), Oscar-winning sets and music, and an unforgettable, hallucinatory central dance sequence, this beloved classic stands as an enthralling tribute to the life of the artist.

As shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman, Texas becomes a hyper-realistic late-capitalist landscape of endless vistas, shopping malls, and prefab metal buildings.

Byrne uses his songs to stitch together pop iconography, voodoo rituals, and a singular variety show-all in the service of uncovering the rich mysteries that lurk under the surface of everyday experience.

Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) is the original Japanese masterpiece and the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels.

Paul Leni’s THE LAST WARNING 4K Digital Restoration (1929, 78 min)

Universal Pictures presents a new 4K restoration of this 1929 silent classic, accompanied by a newly recorded score from Arthur Barrow. After a murder occurs during a Broadway performance, the death remains unsolved and the theater is condemned. That is, until years later when a suspicious new producer arrives to restage the play with the original cast and crew. Restoration experts conducted a worldwide search for Warning's available elements, ultimately able to stabilize and de-flicker the film as well as repair scratches and dirt.

RUSSIAN ARK (2002, 95 min)

Russian Ark is the first feature-length narrative film shot in a one single Steadicam take. Travel with an unseen narrator as he explores the museum and travels through Russian history. The audience sees through his eyes as he witnesses Peter the Great abusing one of his generals; Catherine the Great searching for a bathroom; and, in the grand finale, the sumptuous Great Royal Ball of 1913.

Richard Rush’s

THE STUNT MAN (R, 1980, 131 min)

It defied all odds to become the most unexpected and acclaimed cult hit of the 80s, and it remains one of the most slyly subversive and original action/comedy/drama movies of all time. Peter O'Toole plays a megalomaniacal director commanding a film-set where a paranoid veteran (Steve Railsback) finds himself maybe replacing a dead stunt man, possibly falling for the beautiful leading lady (Barbara Hershey), and discovering that love, death and the mayhem of moviemaking can definitely be the wildest illusions of all.

Michael Mann's

4K Digital Restoration (R, 1981, 124 min)

James Caan stars in one of his most riveting performances as a no-nonsense ex-con safecracker planning to leave the criminal world behind after one final diamond heist, but discovers that escape is not as simple as he’d hoped.

Released in the US as Violent Streets, Michael Mann’s super influential minimalist neo-noir looks as authentic and original today as the day it did in 1981. Mann used real thieves as technical advisors on the film and that Tangerine Dream soundtrack is a joy.

Akira Kurosawa’s

THRONE OF BLOOD (1957, 109 min)

A vivid, visceral Macbeth adaptation, Throne sets Shakespeare’s definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. As a hardened warrior who rises savagely to power, Toshiro Mifune gives a remarkable, animalistic performance, as does Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife. Throne fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.

GOD TOLD ME TO (R, 1976, 91 min)

This critically acclaimed classic is one of the most disturbing horror films of the 1970s. A rooftop sniper guns down 14 pedestrians. A mild-mannered dad murders his wife and children. And each of these unlikely killers makes the same dying confession: “God told me to.” Now a detective (Tony Lo Bianco) must uncover a netherworld of deranged faith, alien insemination, and a messiah with a perverse plan for the soul of mankind. Co-starring Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis, Sylvia Sidney, Richard Lynch, and Andy Kaufman.
