SUMMARY:GHOST WORLD (2001)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The greatest distinction of Ghost World is its singular spirit. Here’s a dark\, deadpan comedy about alienated kids that manages to be smart\, surpassingly odd\, extremely funny and mysteriously endearing at the same time.” – Wall Street Journal \n\n\n\nTerry Zwigoff’s first fiction film\, adapted from a cult-classic comic by Daniel Clowes\, is an idiosyncratic portrait of adolescent alienation that is at once bleakly funny and wholly endearing. Set during the malaise-filled months following high-school graduation\, Ghost World follows the proud misfit Enid (Thora Birch)\, who confronts an uncertain future amid the cultural wasteland of consumerist America. As her cynicism becomes too much to bear even for her best friend\, Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson)\, Enid finds herself drawn to an unlikely kindred spirit: a sad-sack record collector many years her senior (Steve Buscemi). With its parade of oddball characters\, quotable\, Oscar-nominated script\, and eclectic soundtrack of vintage obscurities\, Ghost World is one of the twenty-first century’s most fiercely beloved comedies. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series Video Store Heaven. Based around the St. Louis premiere of Alex Ross Perry’s Videoheaven\, which explores the lost world of video stores as depicted onscreen\, we are presenting some of the works featured in Perry’s sprawling essay film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime. You must physically come to the lobby to get your name on the waitlist. Seats are released as they become available. All remaining seats are released at showtime.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:$3 MYSTERY MOVIE: Psychotronic So-Bad-It's-Brilliant Monster Movie Mayhem
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the last Monday of every month\, Arkadin chooses an underseen deep cut to inflict upon an unwitting audience. Though the genre and tone may change\, the price always remains the same: three measly bucks. You can’t afford not to get yourself a ticket!  \n\n\n\nThe long\, hot-as-hell summer of 2025 is finally coming to an end\, so let’s send it off with something a transcendentally schlocky slab of monster-movie silliness. A psychotronic fever dream packed with nonsense plotting\, bad dubbing\, weird gloopy monsters\, and some totally bizarre (yet incredibly quotable) dialogue\, this low-budget barn-burner will sear itself deep into your retinae. A heady mix of shockingly incompetent storytelling and even more shockingly competent creature effects\, this one’s a good damn time at the movies! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Sci-fi Classic THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957) -- ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅs
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A pulp masterpiece…Not merely the best of [Jack] Arnold’s classic sci-fi movies of the ’50s\, but one of the finest films ever made in that genre.” – Time Out \n\n\n\nHe baffles science! He confounds medicine! Submitted for your approval\, the strange story of Scott Carey – an ordinary young man who\, through an extraordinary set of circumstances\, becomes The Incredible Shrinking Man! Existentialism goes pop in this benchmark of atomic-age science fiction\, a superlative adaptation of a novel by the legendary Richard Matheson that has awed and unnerved generations of viewers with the question\, What is humanity’s place amid the infinity of the universe? Six months after being exposed to a mysterious radiation cloud\, suburban everyman Scott Carey (Grant Williams) finds himself becoming smaller … and smaller … and smaller—until he’s left to fend for himself in a world in which ordinary cats\, mousetraps\, and spiders pose a mortal threat\, all while grappling with a diminishing sense of himself. Directed by the prolific creature-feature impresario Jack Arnold with ingenious optical effects and a transcendent metaphysical ending\, The Incredible Shrinking Man gazes with wonder and trepidation into the unknowable vastness of the cosmic void. \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy. Featuring classics\, hidden gems\, and cult favorites\, this series offers a mind-bending retreat from our mundane reality. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE ISLAND CLOSEST TO HEAVEN (1984) -- Teenage Dream: Obayashi in the '80s
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis August\, Arkadin is excited to present TEENAGE DREAM: OBAYASHI IN THE ’80s\, a collection of restored films by Nobuhiko Obayashi\, the filmmaker behind legendary horror freakout\, House (also playing this month). These restorations are made possible by Cult Epics and the American Genre Film Archive. \n\n\n\n“[Obayashi] feels like he’s reinventing cinema with every movie he makes.” – Sean Gilman \n\n\n\nAfter her father’s sudden passing\, high schooler Mari decides to take a trip to the islands of New Caledonia to find the fabled “island closest to heaven”—a local legend that she and her father had once dreamed of unearthing. From landmark director Nobuhiko Obayashi (House)\, The Island Closest to Heaven is a nostalgic and reflective look at coming of age\, following Mari in her adventures across the islands as she searches for some deeper meaning to life. Although not as high concept as Obayashi’s populous films\, The Island Closest to Heaven is a sweet\, gentle film about self reflection based on a popular 1966 travelogue of the same name by Katsura Morimura. \n\n\n\n“[A] dreamy romantic adventure…It really feels like a fairy tale.” – Jitendar Canth \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Legendary shot-on-video horror-sleaze VIDEO VIOLENCE (1987) -- Friday Night WTF! -- $7
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\n“Top-tier regional drenched in synth drone SOV master-trash and a super ode to the days of horror rentals\, late fees\, and eye-catching movie covers” – c h r i s\, Letterboxd \n\n\n\nAllegedly made for a budget of $6\, Gary Cohen’s Video Violence is a legendary slice of SOV sleaze. The film follows a video store owner dismayed by his community’s fondness for horror schlock\, who learns that these backwoods hicks don’t just watch violent films\, they make their own…for real. Shot entirely on a VHS camcorder and edited at a local public access TV station\, Video Violence is a delightfully grungy little number that found its way into video stores around the country. That’s appropriate because the film emerged directly from Cohen’s own experiences working as video store clerk where he was appalled at his customers’ fondness for violent B movies rather than the old Hollywood classics he adored. Like a no-budget Funny Games\, Video Violence is an attack on audiences’ penchant for violent entertainment that nonetheless became embraced by those very same horror hounds. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series Video Store Heaven. Based around the St. Louis premiere of Alex Ross Perry’s Videoheaven\, which explores the lost world of video stores as depicted onscreen\, we are presenting some of the works featured in Perry’s sprawling essay film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Still such a treat to watch… an ingenious snapshot of small-town americana and the inertia of Generation Xers” – PJ Nabarro \n\n\n\nIt all started here for Kevin Smith: a charming $27\,000 comedy that spawned an empire of sequels\, podcasts\, comic books\, and unapologetically nerdy lifestyle branding. This endearingly low-key comedy about real-life experiences working for chump change at a New Jersey convenience store. A rude\, foul-mouthed collection of anecdotes about the responsibilities that go with being on the wrong side of the till\, the film is also a relationship story that takes some hilarious turns once the lovers start revealing their sexual histories to one another. In the best tradition of first-time\, ultra-low budget independent films\, Smith’s debut is delightfully shaggy\, a quirky\, personal vision that became a phenomenon by tapping into the quintessence of driftless Gen X nerd-dom. Smith may have had his ups and downs since\, but Clerks endures.  \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series Video Store Heaven. Based around the St. Louis premiere of Alex Ross Perry’s Videoheaven\, which explores the lost world of video stores as depicted onscreen\, we are presenting some of the works featured in Perry’s sprawling essay film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:CLERKS: THE ANIMATED SERIES Happy Hour -- all 6 eps + drink specials!
DESCRIPTION:April 18		\n\n					\n				: 			\n			\n				8:00 pm			\n		\n									\n					 – 				\n			\n							\n					9:30 pm				\n			\n						 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n			 $9 \n				plus $1.50 popcorn & drink specials!\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Arkadin happy hours\, we offer curated entertainment on the big screen in a looser\, loungier atmosphere than a normal film screening. We keep the lights up a bit. No ticket required; you can drop in or drop out any time you like. Totally FREE plus drink/snack specials at the bar! \n\n\n\nFor our money\, Clerks: The Animated Series is the single greatest entry in Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse\, a perfectly calibrated mini-masterpiece of animated sitcommery that brough Dante\, Randal\, Jay and Silent Bob onto the small screen with sharp jokes\, clever ideas\, and even a bit of heart. Wildly mistreated upon its initial release by ABC\, which aired only two episodes out of order before burning off the rest on Comedy Central. But the series found new life on DVD where it deservedly gained a cult following. Whether you’ve enjoyed these six episodes of uncut silliness before or your new to what Complex has called “one of the most underrated animated series of all time\,” grab a cold one and have a laugh. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Czech gothic fairy-tale horror BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1979) -- ғᴏʟᴋ ʜᴏʀʀᴏʀ ᴀʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Fairy tale becomes macabre\, visceral horror in this superb Czech version of the story.” – Close-Up Film \n\n\n\nFrom the rich and textured imagination of Czechoslovak visionary Juraj Herz (The Cremator) comes a gothic-horror reimagining of the classic fairy tale in Beauty and the Beast. Alson known as “The Virgin and the Monster\,” this unnerving dark fantasy follows the innocent Julie (Zdena Studenková) who spares her father’s (Václav Voska) life by agreeing to live under the watchful eye of a bird-like monster\, a macabre and elusive figure torn between his growing affection for the young beauty and his animalistic urge to kill. Gorgeously shot\, intriguingly surreal\, thrillingly sensual\, Beauty and the Beast is unlike any adaptation you’ve seen before. Miles away from the frolicsome family-friendliness of Walt Disney or the opulent fantasia of Renoir’s version\, Herz’s muddy\, decaying vision is very much its own Beast. \n\n\n\nEach month\, Arkadin presents a selection of FOLK HORROR AROUND THE WORLD\, creepy folktales from all corner of the globe to give you the Sunday scaries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME (1983) -- Teenage Dream: Obayashi in the '80s
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis August\, Arkadin is excited to present TEENAGE DREAM: OBAYASHI IN THE ’80s\, a collection of restored films by Nobuhiko Obayashi\, the filmmaker behind legendary horror freakout\, House (also playing this month). These restorations are made possible by Cult Epics and the American Genre Film Archive. \n\n\n\n“[Obayashi] feels like he’s reinventing cinema with every movie he makes.” – Sean Gilman \n\n\n\nAfter his great success with House at Toho\, legendary filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi was given the notoriety to start dabbling in the mainstream. His adaptation of the electrifyingly popular 1967 Japanese novel The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was the first adaptation of Yasutaka Tsutsi’s book (followed by several others including the popular anime film by Mamoru Hosoda)\, and was the second highest grossing Japanese film of the year in 1983. After breaking a beaker at school that releases a lavender-like scent causing student Yoshiyama Kazuko to faint\, she wakes up the following morning with the ability to travel through time. Sentimental and sweepingly romantic\, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a time-travel adventure with a huge beating heart. \n\n\n\n“A poignant yet sweet story of the torturous beauty that is growing up\, told with all the mastery that you would expect of Obayashi.” – easternKicks \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Elvis Week with VIVA LAS VEGAS (1964) w/ Elvis pre-show @ 2:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“He was the best on-screen partner she ever had\, and she was his. It’s the most purely entertaining Elvis movie ever\, a complete delight and it’s unbelievable they were never teamed again.” – Filmink \n\n\n\nOn Aug. 16\, 1977\, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll ascended to that great Graceland in the sky. Decades later\, his remains one of the great American legends\, a preternatural entertainer who transformed not only popular music but popular culture as a whole. In commemoration of Elvis Week\, Arkadin presents perhaps his most purely entertaining cinematic effort\, 1964’s Viva Las Vegas! Co-starring one of the few women who can totally hold her own against Elvis’s effortless charisma\, Viva Las Vegas pairs The King with Swedish-born sexpot Ann-Margret. Elvis is the strapping young racecar driver looking for money to fix his engine before the Vegas Grand Prix\, while Ann-Margret is the young swimming instructor who causes him to lose his engine money but still manages to get his motor running…if you know what we mean. With vibrant musical numbers\, lavish Panavision visuals\, and some super-steamy chemistry that didn’t have to be faked — Elvis and Ann-Margret began a real-life affair that exploded the tabloids\, much to wife Priscilla Presley’s dismay — there’s no better way to commemorate Elvis’ passing than with Viva Las Vegas. All hail the King! \n\n\n\nPlus\, come out early for a pre-show of iconic clips of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll\, starting at 2:30 pm! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

An inexhaustible geyser of top-notch sex and violence\, Hard Ticket to Hawaii exists beyond entertainment’s maximum limits. The Agency is a tough-as-nails\, tech-savvy squad of physically ideal humans (led by Playboy icon Dona Speir and The Bold and the Beautiful soap legend Ronn Moss) who defend Hawaii’s Molokai Island from diamond smugglers\, narcotics slingers\, and a skateboarding maniac armed with an inflatable sex doll. Tirelessly and shirtlessly\, they deal out homicidal justice at every turn—unleashing helicopters\, motorcycles\, and deadly frisbees to ensure the safety of every bronzed boytoy and babe on the beach. If you see only two movies in your lifetime\, it should be because you watched this twice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE DOOM GENERATION (1995) -- 30th Anniversary!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Zany\, violent\, erotically charged… [a] fearless cinematic achievement.” – Indiewire \n\n\n\nGregg Araki takes a road trip to hell in this wild\, meth- and fast-food-fueled joyride through the margins of a menacing American wasteland. When they inadvertently link up with a dangerously alluring drifter (Johnathon Schaech)\, a chilled-out Cali bro (James Duval) and his spiky\, foulmouthed girlfriend (Rose McGowan) find themselves on an increasingly violent\, kinky\, and darkly comic journey in which erotic tensions rise along with the body count. Working with a significant budget for the first time\, Araki employs boldly stylized lighting and art direction to create a heightened sense of unreality in a shocking\, shoegaze-soundtracked chronicle of young lives careening toward oblivion. Billed with tongue in cheek as “A Heterosexual Movie by Gregg Araki\,” The Doom Generation is brimming with violent tendencies and homoerotic desires. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s mini-series\, LOVE COMES IN 3\, spotlighting throuples\, threesomes\, love triangles\, and other romantically complicated trios. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.
