SUMMARY:ROSE OF NEVADA (2025) -- "a stupefying\, time-slipping ghost story"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Like nothing else in modern movies. Feels unearthed from the deep\, dark recesses of the unconscious.” – Nick Schager\, The Daily Beast \n\n\n\n“A stupefying\, time-slipping ghost story” (The Film Stage) from Mark Jenkin\, the visionary director of Enys Men\, Rose of Nevada is a seasick sci-fi-inflected journey into the unknown. Or\, as critic Brian Tallerico put it\, “a mind-fuck” that “reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time.”  \n\n\n\nThree decades ago\, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea\, along with its crew. Now\, it has returned. In a remote fishing village\, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign\, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn\, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay\, 1917)\, desperate to provide for his young family\, and Liam (Callum Turner\, Fantastic Beasts)\, a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage\, they return to harbor\, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.  \n\n\n\nShot on 16mm film with a vintage Bolex H16\, a camera that only allows a maximum runtime of 28 seconds per take\, and edited with a haunting\, rhythmic pulse\, Rose of Nevada is\, like its characters\, adrift in time—ferociously contemporary yet profoundly haunted by the past. It’s also very weird\, very cool\, and like nothing else in contemporary cinema. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Start time was originally listed as 7 pm. It has been moved to 7:30 pm. \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Brilliantly weird” \n\n\n\n\n“With Rose of Nevada\, Jenkin has further cemented himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary cinema… brilliantly weird and wholly intoxicating.” \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Upcoming \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Mind-fuck” \n\n\n\n\n“It’s not every day that you see a film that reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time. Still\, there aren’t a lot of movies like this mind-fuck of a flick… I won’t forget it.” \n\n\n\n\n\nRogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Moving… unnerving… striking” \n\n\n\n\n“An experience as moving as it is unnerving\, and as the piercing screeching of iron rods announces the Rose of Nevada is to leave port once more\, it is we the audience there to wave a pained goodbye\, quietly stunned by the ethereal aura of Jenkin’s striking creation.” \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nLittle White Lies \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:Animated kitty adventure FLOW (2024)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Dreamy\, epic\, perilous and very beautiful” – The Washington Post \n\n\n\nA wondrous journey\, through realms natural and mystical\, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara\, a lemur\, a bird\, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land\, they must rely on trust\, courage\, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From the boundless imagination of Latvian animator Gints Zilbalodis\, Flow is a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. Told without dialogue and animated entirely with free graphics software\, Zilbalodis’s film is an ingenious feat of deeply personal\, purely visual storytelling—and the perfect animal-centric entry in our I’M ON A BOAT series! \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation.

SUMMARY:Pre-Code delight ONE WAY PASSAGE (1932) w/ "Steamboat Willie"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the best filmed love stories of all time\, the sublime One Way Passage is simply one of the great pleasures of life.” – Pre-Code.com \n\n\n\nA tragic love story told with the lightest\, most life-fulfilling touch\, One Way Passage is one of the most immaculate delights in Pre-Code cinema. The Thin Man‘s William Powell stars as a charming jailbird on the run from the gallows\, while the effervescent Kay Francis is a terminally ill woman clinging to the last sparks of life—and doing it in style in a succession of glimmering Orry-Kelly gowns! The two meet over Paradise cocktails in Hong Kong and fall in love aboard a transpacific ocean liner bound for San Francisco. What sounds on paper like a tearjerker is\, in director Tay Garnett’s hands\, a boozy\, bubbly comedy featuring a sloppy drunkard (Frank McHugh)\, a fake countess (Aline MacMahon)\, a lovestruck policeman (Warren Hymer)\, and a seemingly endless supply of potent potables. The last of seven features Powell and Francis made together\, One Way Passage is pure delight and an essential entry in our August-long “I’m On a Boat” series. \n\n\n\nPlus we’re delighted to bring you a bonus nautical treat before the feature\, the classic Walt Disney short Steamboat Willie featuring [generic public domain rodent creature]! \n\n\n\n\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:PSYCHOMANIA (1973) w/ Motorcycle Movie Madness pre-show\, presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by St. Louis’s long-running cult film series Strange Brew — winner of the 2025 A-List Award for Best Movie Night in St. Louis. Strange Brew programmer Jon Scorfina will provide an introduction. \n\n\n\nThe dead return to life as sadistic bikers in the unhinged\, outlaw British flick Psychomania (1973). A violent biker gang known as The Living Dead dabbles in black magic at The Seven Witches\, a druid circle of seven standing stones in the countryside.  The gang’s leader Tom (Nicky Henson)\, with the help of his mother (Beryl Reid) and her nefarious butler Shadwell (George Sanders in his final role) who both worship a sinister Frog God\, discovers that by committing suicide you can return as an undead\, unkillable meance. Tom uses this knowledge to convince his gang\, including his reluctant girlfriend\, to follow him into death so they can all return as masked bikers with the sole purpose of terrorizing the locals. \n\n\n\nDirected by Hammer veteran Don Sharp\, Psychomania (released in the U.S. as The Death Wheelers) was initially dismissed as a low-budget psychedelic zombie biker frightener with low-ambitions of cultivating an audience. Soon however the film developed a devoted cult following for its legitimately crazy stunt work\, eerie atmosphere\, leather costumes and dark comedy.  It also features a notable soundtrack by British composer John Cameron. \n\n\n\nA Motorcycle Movie Madness Preshow will start at 6:30 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. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media\, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com\, as well as through general internet searches. \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:SERIAL MOM (1994) w/ Snapped pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Uproariously funny\, maliciously malicious!” – Time Out \n\n\n\nThe Pope of Trash satirizes the dark heart of suburban normalcy in this wicked black comedy. Kathleen Turner plays wholesome suburban mom Beverly\, a picture-perfect homemaker whose fascination with serial killers transforms her into a Good Housekeeping murder queen who kills anyone and everyone who fails to live up to her standards. Featuring appearances by Ricki Lake\, Matthew Lillard\, Mink Stole\, Suzanne Somers\, Traci Lords and Patty Hearst\, SERIAL MOM gleefully skewers conformity\, suburbia\, and (perhaps most presciently) America’s obsession with true crime. Grab your own mama and bring her to the movies for a Mother’s Slay that’ll leave you in stitches…if Beverly doesn’t get you first! \n\n\n\nNeed more trashy murder content?

SUMMARY:Takashi Miike's VISITOR Q (2001) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\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“It’s fucked up\, hilarious and for a movie that includes a show-stopping corpse fuck\, surprisingly tender.” – Spectrum Culture \n\n\n\nFrom the warped genius who brought you Audition\, Ichi the Killer\, and The Happiness of the Katakuris\, Takashi Miike’s Vistior Q might just be the Japanese auteur’s most demented work. A deeply dysfunctional family is pushed to the brink when a mysterious stranger enters their home\, unleashing long-suppressed tensions and laying bare their most disturbing taboos. His silent presence sets off a series of shocking transformations\, compelling each member to confront their darkest impulses. Blending pitch-black humor with razor-sharp social commentary\, Visitor Q fearlessly explores subjects such as incest\, necrophilia\, and bullying\, laying bare the absurdity\, cruelty\, and unexpected resilience of modern family life. Celebrating 25 years of fucking audience’s shit up\, Vistior Q stands as one of Miike’s most audacious and unforgettable films. \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:TITANIC (1997) presented with "VHS Break" intermission
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“As colossal as the ship itself… the stuff of magic.” – Awards Daily \n\n\n\nThe ground-breaking epic that enraptured a generation\, Titanic is blockbuster filmmaking at its most irresistible. Meticulously recreating every detail of the eponymous cruise liner\, from the Grand Staircase to the silverware\, director James Cameron’s romance-cum-disaster movie immerses us in the luxury of that ill-fated voyage while investing the audience in a sweeping\, inter-class love story that appeals to the inner Marxist in all of us. Viscerally emotional\, chock-full of iconic moments\, and set to the most unabashedly bombastic love theme this side of Dr. Zhivago\, Titanic is one of the most successful blockbusters of all time for a reason: It’s just that damn good. \n\n\n\nTo give you the full double-VHS nostalgia experience\, we are presenting Titanic with an intermission at the exact moment when you would have had to switch tapes. \n\n\n\n\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:Alfred Hitchcock's most underrated thriller LIFEBOAT (1944)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Tense! Gripping! Ranks among [Hitchcock’s] most audacious and successful technical experiments in suspense.” – Empire \n\n\n\nIf you thought Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window and Rope (both of which limit the action to a single apartment) were claustrophobic\, then prepare yourself for Lifeboat\, a white-knuckle tale of suspense that takes place entirely within the crowded confines of its titular vessel. Adapted from a WWII story by John Steinbeck\, Lifeboat packs nine wildly diverse survivors into a dinghy—eight shipwrecked Americans and Brits and one German U-Boat captain—and allows the simmering tensions to boil over into an intense drama that explores the deep fissures within Allied society while asking difficult moral questions about what is required to win a war. Frequently cited by critics as one of Hitchcock’s most unfairly neglected works\, Lifeboat earned Hitchcock one of five Oscar nominations for Best Director and remains a marvelous showcase of the maestro’s technical mastery\, a meticulously constructed works that wrings every ounce of suspense out of its incredibly limited setting. Plus\, be sure to keep an eye out for Hitchcock’s most ingenious cameo appearance. \n\n\n\n\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:Werner Herzog's FITZCARRALDO (1982)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the great visions of the cinema\, and one of the great follies. One would not have been possible without the other.” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nWerner Herzog is the reigning champ of impossible real-life adventures undertaken in the name of cinema. And this masterpiece is the epic flipside to Aguirre: The Wrath of God — a backbreaking epic that ecstatically treads the line between a portrait of madness and a genuine expression of maniacal obsession. Fitzcarraldo casts Herzog’s muse (and of the true madmen of cinematic acting) Klaus Kinski\, as the real-life South American rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald\, who pursued a crazed\, quixotic mission to establish an opera house in the Peruvian jungle. But construction can can only be accomplished by hauling a gigantic river boat over a mountain. No special effects here — this is the real deal\, with the impossible results executed before your eyes. Cited by Akira Kurosawa as one of his favorite films\, Fitzcarraldo remains Herzog’s most quintessential vision\, a work of mad hubris in the service of ecstatic truth or\, as Herzog would bluntly call it\, a “conquest of the useless.” \n\n\n\n\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.

Starring Jennifer Lopez\, fresh off the buzz of Selena\, as the head of a documentary crew who find themselves cruising down the Amazon on a river barge pursued by one big-ass snake\, Anaconda combines some legit location shooting with delicious practical effects\, taut tension\, epic payoffs\, and one of the most gloriously unhinged performances in Hollywood history. The titular snake may devour its victims\, but it’s no match for Jon Voight absolutely inhaling the scenery as a villainous snake poacher\, complete with “Kabuki-like facial expressions and Paraguay-by-way-of-Yonkers accent” (The Ringer). Equal parts creature-feature spectacle and campy B-movie trash\, Anaconda delivers a sweaty fight to the death that will leave you grinning wider than an anaconda unhinging its jaw. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we’ll have a pre-show of clips of scary (but not too scary) snakes\, starting at 6 pm. \n\n\n\n\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. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:John Waters' most personal film PECKER (1998)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A sassy\, irreverent movie about art\, fame\, culture shock\, and class consciousness” – Faith & Spirituality \n\n\n\nWho but John Waters would have given his sweetest and most personal film a name like Pecker? Edward Furlong stars as the eponymous teen\, an amateur photographer whose eye for the captivating oddness of everyday Baltimore life leads him to snap pictures of laundromats\, strip clubs\, and his shoplifting pal. But it’s all downhill once Pecker’s grainy\, out-of-focus shots are “discovered” by an influential NYC art dealer (Lilli Taylor). Soon\, Pecker has traded in his trusty Canon Caronet for an expensive Nikon N50\, and his friends and family start to feel the sting of fame’s bright lights. Co-starring Christina Ricci as Pecker’s obsessive girlfriend\, John Waters’ semi-autobiographical satire of art-world excess is a quirky\, hilarious delight that reveals the softer side of cinema’s most notorious shockmeister. But don’t get it twisted\, Pecker way be a touching ode to creative passion\, but it’s still a John Waters movie\, meaning this sweet-natured farce doubles as an R-rated romp\, packed with jokes about teabagging\, eating disorders\, and the Virgin Mary. \n\n\n\n\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:END OF HISTORY (2025) + virtual Q&A with director Jacob Gregor
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Shot on a shoestring budget of around $5\,000 during a 10-day road trip to Deadhorse\, Alaska\, Jacob Gregor’s End of History has more to say about the bleak state of American culture than most multi-million dollar films. Following an isolated man’s journey\, whose mind is being deteriorated by media figures enacting more damage than society may realize\, Gregor crafts a feat of American slow cinema\, capturing the country in all its loneliness and degradation.” – The Film Stage \n\n\n\nA nameless man (Matt Calhoun) obsessed with motivational and right-wing “manosphere” culture goes on a hollow road trip of non-discovery in this hypnotic feature by director Jacob Gregor. A microbudget two-man production made on a road trip from Chicago to Alaska\, End of History is a bone-dry\, satirically bleak character study about a flattening culture and landscape. Playing like some cursed collaboration between James Benning and Lex Fridman\, Gregor’s film is at one hypnotically beautiful\, repulsively fascinating\, and shockingly funny—the rare film that truly understands our current moment of self-imposed isolation and desiccated masculinity.  \n\n\n\nA virtual Q&A with director Jacob Gregor will immediately follow the film. \n\n\n\nThis screening is presented in cooperation with Means TV. \n\n\n\nWHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Jeanne Dielman for incels” \n\n\n\n\n“Jeanne Dielman for red-pilled incels (complimentary). Lot of lines here made me burst out laughing. A lot of other lines made my blood run cold.” \n\n\n\n\n\nJacob Farley \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Movie of the year” \n\n\n\n\nHoly shit. My movie of the year. [Todd Haynes’] SAFE for men. Beautiful AFFECTING shots. A lot of bitches be like ‘this movie is so urgent’ but like this movie is so urgent. \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\n\n\nMiles \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Really fucking funny” \n\n\n\n\n“What could have been a thin gimmick lends itself cinematically to a lot of potential excavation. The long final shot encapsulates the film’s freewheeling range of formal\, durational\, comedic\, dramatic\, mundane\, and absurd preoccupations. And it vindicates the entire project as something worthwhile and illuminating and really fucking funny.” \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ½ \n\n\n\nSable \n\n\n\n\n\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 ALABAMA SOLUTION presented by Empower Missouri
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE SEATS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Empower Missouri for a free screening of the documentary The Alabama Solution. \n\n\n\n“Scalding… exerts a grip like a thriller” – Variety \n\n\n\nIn 2019\, filmmakers Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman (HBO’s The Jinx) visited an Alabama prison\, where\, off camera\, incarcerated men whispered a message: terrible things are going on and being kept secret. This reveal sparked an immersive six-year investigation to discover the reality behind one of the nation’s deadliest prison systems. With unprecedented access and video shot on contraband cell phones\, the directors learn of a suspicious and violent death\, which wasn’t an isolated incident – and that the official version appears far from the truth.

SUMMARY:Chris Elliott's surreal cult comedy CABIN BOY (1994)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Extremely weird\, and certainly not for everyone. Yet very\, very brilliant in its own strange way.” – New Times \n\n\n\nA cult classic for fancy lads everywhere\, Cabin Boy was met with a frothy blend of confusion and hostility upon first release but has aged like a fine flagon of wine.  \n\n\n\nFrom Chris Elliott and Adam Resnick\, co-creators of the influential deconstructed sitcom Get a Life\, Cabin Boy is one of the most surreal comedies ever released by a major Hollywood studio. After graduating from finishing school as a well-bred “Fancy Lad\,” Nathanial Mayweather (Elliott) prepares for a trip to Hawaii. But his plans are dashed when he mistakenly boards The Filthy Whore\, a fishing boat manned by a ragtag crew of salty shipmates\, and soon becomes the vessel’s hapless Cabin Boy. On his journey\, he woos the feisty but beautiful Trina (Melora Walters) and encounters a host of eye-rubbing curiosities including an amiable shark man\, a savage ice monster\, a tobacco-chewing cupcake\, and a six-armed seductress (Ann Magnuson) who relieves Nathanial of his virginity\, much to the displeasure of her 30-foot salesman husband (Mike Starr).  \n\n\n\nInspired by classic seafaring yarns like Captains Courageous\, Cabin Boy has grown in reputation over the years as a truly offbeat cult comedy-fantasy with Ray Harryhausen-like special effects\, a hilariously oddball performance by Elliott\, and a treasure chest of eccentric supporting players including Brian Doyle-Murray\, Brion James\, James Gammon\, Andy Richter and Russ Tamblyn\, plus a seminal cameo by Elliott and Resnick’s old boss David Letterman as an antagonistic sock-monkey vendor. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Chris Elliott pre-show beginning at 6:30 pm! \n\n\n\n\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:John Waters' MULTIPLE MANIACS (1970)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Cheapo\, indie\, queer American cinema at its most adversarial and thrillingly vicious!” – Globe & Mail \n\n\n\nJohn Waters’ gloriously grotesque second feature is replete with all manner of depravity\, from robbery to murder to one of cinema’s most memorably blasphemous moments. Made on a shoestring budget in Waters’ native Baltimore\, with the filmmaker taking on nearly every technical task\, this gleeful mockery of the peace-and-love ethos of its era features the Cavalcade of Perversion\, a traveling show mounted by a troupe of misfits whose shocking proclivities are topped only by those of their leader: the glammer-than-glam\, larger-than-life Divine\, out for blood after discovering her lover’s affair. Starring members of Waters’ beloved regular cast\, the Dreamlanders (including David Lochary\, Mary Vivian Pearce\, Mink Stole\, Susan Lowe\, Edith Massey\, George Figgs\, and Cookie Mueller)\, Multiple Maniacs is an anarchic masterwork from an artist who has doggedly tested the limits of good taste for decades. \n\n\n\n\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:MIAMI VICE (2006) -- 20th anniversary screening w/ Moody Rock pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Miami Vice looks and moves like no other movie. It was shot in large part on grainy handheld digital video\, which lends the action a sense of immediacy. Though its technology has become outdated\, Miami Vice still feels new and different.” – Ignatiy Vishnevetsky\, The A.V. Club \n\n\n\nMichael Mann’s oft-maligned masterpiece Miami Vice retools the glossy 1980s series into a moody\, achingly romantic thriller that captured the look and feel of the mid aughts\, even as audiences and critics at the time of its release largely rejected the film for its smudgy digital textures and murky moral ambiguities. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx anchor a terse\, emotionally raw undercover cop drama that takes us through Miami’s cartel-dominated underbelly (and across the Florida Strait for some Mojitos)\, while Mann and cinematographer Dion Beebe paint the scenery with dancing digital pixels. The nocturnal heat of South Florida has never felt so wonderfully oppressive as it does during the film’s grainy nighttime action. Whether or not you’re a convert\, Miami Vice\, now 20 years young\, deserves another look on the big screen. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we’ll play tribute to the movie and show’s iconically sulky soundtrack with a Moody Rock pre-show starting at 6 pm. (Is this just an excuse to rock some Phil Collins? Maybe.) \n\n\n\n\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:TITANIC 666 (2022) -- Friday Night WTF -- FREE!

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“Absolutely awful. Loved every second of it!” – brandon nash\, Letterboxd \n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered\, what if the Titanic had a bunch of spooky ghosts on board? No?You’ve never wondered that?

Possessed deckhands\, satanic karaoke\, and a very persistent iceberg of doom turn the voyage into a floating funhouse that will make you laugh and cringe in equal measure. Leave your dignity at home or risk it sinking to the ocean floor as you endure this spectacularly stupid disasterpiece from the people who gave us the equally misguided\, though way less fun\, Titanic 2. \n\n\n\nThis screening is 100% FREE.

SUMMARY:Legendary fantasy-adventure extravaganza JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Everyone loves it. It belongs on a short list of movies that are almost guaranteed to please everyone in any given audience\, no matter how old or young they are or what culture they were raised in.” – Matt Zoller-Seitz\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\nOne of the greatest\, most thrilling adventure movies of all time\, Jason and the Argonauts is pure cinematic joy. Based on the epic poem from Ancient Greece\, The Argonautica\, the film tells the tale of Jason (Todd Armstrong)\, son of a murdered King\, who is diverted from ascending the throne by his search for the Golden Fleece\, which can bring peace to his kingdom. A rip-roaring\, sea-faring fantasy-adventure\, Jason and the Argonauts is best known (and will forever be loved) for containing some of animator Ray Harryhausen’s most legendary effects: the multi-headed hydra\, the giant bronze statue come to life\, the bird-monster Harpies\, and of course\, the sword-wielding skeleton warriors. For fans of stop-motion\, this film is basically uncut heroin. Or\, as Tom Hanks perhaps more elegantly put it\, “Some say Casablanca or Citizen Kane – I say that Jason and the Argonauts is the greatest film ever made.” \n\n\n\n\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 LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU (2004) w/ Jacques Cousteau pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Still one of Wes Anderson’s funniest and most poignant movies\, as well as a love letter to his favorite muse: Bill Murray… The Life Aquatic is Wes Anderson’s most underrated movie.” – Den of Geek \n\n\n\nA wildly original adventure-comedy\, The Life Aquatic was the film that definitively proved that Wes Anderson exclusively makes Wes Anderson movies\, and if you don’t like it…that’s your problem. Bill Murray heads a typically eclectic ensemble cast as internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou\, who sets sail aboard the R.V. Belafonte on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious\, elusive\, possibly nonexistent Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou’s partner. The motley crew includes Owen Wilson as a sweet-natured airline pilot\, Cate Blanchett as a pregnant journalist\, Anjelica Huston as Zissou’s estranged wife\, Jeff Goldblum as her new lover\, and (our favorite) Willem Dafoe as Zissou’s obsequious German first mate. Shot in eye-popping Cinemascope\, The Life Aquatic is packed with stop-motion sea life\, brilliant “dollhouse” cutaways of the Belafonte\, hilarious gags\, and interstitial samba covers of Bowie classics courtesy of Brazilian musician Seu Jorge\, but underneath it all is a gorgeously poignant sense of yearning and loss. Hey\, this is a Wes Anderson movie\, after all. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we’ll pay tribute to the core inspiration for The Life Aquatic\, oceanographer-cum-filmmaker Jacques Cousteau with a pre-show beginning at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\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:Karel Zeman's eye-popping INVENTION FOR DESTRUCTION (1958) w/ Georges Méliès' "The Impossible Voyage"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The spectacular blend of animation\, artful sets\, mattes and live action… makes this whimsical and funny fairy-tale so enjoyable.” – Scifist \n\n\n\nBrilliant Czech animator Karel Zeman’s eye-popping spectacle is like a Victorian illustration come to life. Inspired by the romantic fantasy novels Jules Verne\, Invention for Destruction faithfully recreates the line engraving style of the pictures in the original editions of Verne’s work. Combining live actors with drawn animation\, cutouts\, matte paintings\, miniatures\, stop-motion\, and meticulously detailed horizontal line filters\, Zeman produced one of the most astoundingly original works in cinema. Original released in the US as The Fabulous World of Jules Verne\, Invention for Destruction not only went on to become the most successful Czech film in history\, it also basically invented steampunk. \n\n\n\nBut that’s not all! We’ve got some more Verne-inspired fantasia for you in the form of silent maestro Georges Méliès’ brilliant 1904 short The Impossible Voyage\, playing immediately before the feature. Based on Verne’s 1882 play Journey Through the Impossible\, this short is a fantastic showcase for Méliès’ wildly imaginative visual bravado. \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\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:DELIVERANCE (1972)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A haunting\, nightmarish vision.” – Time Out \n\n\n\n“This is the weekend they didn’t play golf\,” reads the ominously jocular tagline for director John Boorman’s legendarily unsettling 1972 film\, which stands as one of the most inspired combinations of filmmaker and source material in cinematic history. Based on James Dickey’s novel\, Deliverance follows a group of Atlanta businessmen who take a canoe trip through the remote backwoods of North Georgia. What happens next has lost little of its power to shock\, despite years of imitations and parodies. Boorman is in full command of his material here\, attaching a haunting\, mythic quality to the starkness of Dickey’s story. Combined with Vilmos Zsigmond’s moody camerawork and the sparse banjo-driven score\, the director gives his locations a heightened\, haunting quality. As gripping as the work behind the camera is though\, the film wouldn’t have nearly the kick it does without the central performances by Jon Voight\, Burt Reynolds\, Ronny Cox\, and especially Ned Beatty\, who skews the already slippery moral compass further by not playing his character as particularly sympathetic\, even in the wake of the movie’s most infamous scene. A surprise box office smash\, Deliverance was nominated for three Academy Awards\, including Best Picture\, losing out to The Godfather.

SUMMARY:AMSTERDAMNED (1988) -- "Fast\, Gory\, Immensely Entertaining"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A fast\, gory\, immensely entertaining horror flick that cleverly crosses Dirty Harry with Jaws!” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nDown in the murky depths of Amsterdam’s famous canals lurks a murderous predator. Surfacing at night\, he kills at random and disappears without a trace. As the bodies begin to pile up and mass hysteria envelopes the city\, Detective Eric Visser (Huub Stapel) is assigned to head the investigation. With only the escalating number of victims to go on\, Visser pursues his quarry with a vengeance\, unaware that his beautiful new girlfriend (Monique van de Ven) may be the mysterious killer’s next victim. Highlighted by an explosive speedboat chase through the city’s narrow canals\, Amsterdamned combines the stabby murder-mystery pleasures of a giallo\, the subaquatic thrills of Jaws\, and the explosive pyrotechnics of a John Woo actioner into a lean\, mean slice of Eurosleaze! \n\n\n\n\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.
