REEFER MADNESS
(1936, 66 minutes. Directed by Louis Gasnier)
Cautionary tale that features a fictionalized take on marijuana use. A trio of drug dealers lead innocent teenagers to become addicted to “reefer” cigarettes by holding wild parties with jazz music. This unintentional satire coined by many critics as the “worst movie ever made” was later rediscovered in the 1970’s and garnered a cult following still thriving today.
Tuesday, August 6th at 7:30pm
HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
(2001, 95 minutes. Directed by John Cameron Mitchell)
A gender-queer punk-rock singer from East Berlin tours the U.S. with her band as she tells her life story and follows the former lover/bandmate who stole her songs. Impeccable performances and songcraft lift this film to legend status as one of the best rock ‘n roll movies ever made.
Friday, August 23rd at 10pm
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
(1975, 100 minutes. Directed by Jim Sharman)
A newly engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must seek shelter at the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-n-Furter. Starring an unforgettable turn by Tim Curry, among a wild cast of characters – including Meatloaf!
