Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Some people say that true change comes from within. This 1956 cult classic proves once and for all that it comes from outer space. Helpless automatons need not bother.

Wallace and Gromit: Curse Of The Were Rabbit
The annual Giant Vegetable Competition is days away and Wallace & Gromit’s humane pest control service, “Anti-Pesto,” is doing big business.

Ace In The Hole
Billy Wilder’s cynical classic envisions a world where tragedy makes for media gold and once-respected journalists change into self-serving desperados…a full half-century before blogging and TMZ. Kirk Douglas stars in this New Mexican noir.

Pleasantville
Back to the past imperfect. Pre-superstardom Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon time travel to a black-and-white ‘50s sitcom world, and the times, they end up a-changin’. With William H. Macy and Joan Allen.

Cabaret
“What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play….” Winner of 8 Oscars, Bob Fosse’s masterpiece immerses the viewer in the demimonde of Berlin’s Kit Kat Klub as Germany changes from “divine decadence” to Hitlerism. Liza Minnelli, Michael York and Joel Grey star in this dark yet entertaining musical.

The Shining
Ah, the transformative power of new digs. Jack Nicolson loses his mind after moving his family into an isolated, haunted hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s chilling adaptation of Stephen King’s best-seller. Careful, don’t spill any red rum.
