THE GRAPES OF WRATH
1940. 129min Not Rated Directed by JOHN FORD
This remarkable film version of Steinbeck's novel was nominated for seven Academy awards. Overwhelmed by the despair of dust bowl Oklahoma, Tom Joad and his family head out to the promised land - California, only to be met with challenges as daunting as any they would ever face. A portrait of saddening loss and strengthening hope.
SATURDAY AUG 25 & FRIDAY AUG 31 at 7PM
THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK 1971. 109min Rated R Directed by JERRY SCHATZBERG
AL PACINO, KITTY WINN, RAUL JULIA, RICHARD BRIGHT
This movie is a gritty, stark (and graphic) portrayal of life among a group of heroin addicts who hang out in the drug-infested "Needle Park" in New York City. Played against this setting is a low-key tale of a young couple caught in the vortex and downward spiral of addiction. This 1970s classic features Al Pacino in his first starring role.
SATURDAY AUG 25 at 9:30PM
THE SHOOTING
1966 82min Not Rated (PG-equiv) Directed by MONTE HELLMAN
JACK NICHOLSON, WARREN OATES, MILIE PERKINS
This under-seen, cult film has been called "the thinking man's western."Four people ride across the desert tracking a killer but it is not clear who they really are and who it is they are looking for. A bounty hunter turned mine owner returns to find hisbrother missing, his partner dead, and a fellow worker in a state of panic. When a strangewoman shows up, the three set out on a journey with an unknown destination that leads toa final bizarre confrontation. "The Shooting is Nicholson's first important film, it's Hellman's masterpiece as a director, and a forgotten American classic." - LA Weekly
