Scavenger Hunt and Screening!

MIDNIGHT MADNESS, 1980, Disney,112 min. Dir. Michael Nankin and David Wechter. Following the massive commercial success of ANIMAL HOUSE, many studios tried to cash in with imitations of that film's frat-house sensibility -- including the unlikely Walt Disney Pictures! For its second PG-rated release (the first being THE BLACK HOLE), the Mouse House produced this surprisingly funny and inventive tale of a group of college students who participate in an elaborate all-night scavenger hunt. Underrated when it opened in 1980, MIDNIGHT MADNESS has acquired a well-deserved cult following, and marks the screen debut of a young Michael J. Fox! Click for more on this cult classic! The film will begin at 8:00 PM following The Go Game award presentation and screening of highlights from the game. The audience will help determine the winners. Discussion following the film with co-director David Wechter and others TBA. TIckets to the film only (without the game) are regular price.

Special Mother’s Day Screening:

THE SOUND OF MUSIC, 1965, 20th Century Fox, 174 min. A young nun (Julie Andrews) becomes the nanny for a widowed Austrian captain with seven unruly children. She wins their hearts and eventually their father’s as well. Meanwhile the Nazis are taking control of their homeland. For many, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is the ultimate bigger-than-life movie musical, from the first silent, sweeping shots of the Austrian Alps, to Julie Andrews suddenly bursting into song like a force of nature. An Oscar winner for Best Picture and Robert Wise’s flawless direction, this story of The Trapp Family Singers is a reason, a virtual commandment, to go see movies on the Big Screen. Co-starring Christopher Plummer, Eleanor Parker, Anna Lee, Marni Nixon and Angela Cartwright, with a wonderful script by Ernest Lehman. Hear "The Sound of Music," "My Favorite Things," "Do, Re, Mi" and more! [35mm Print] Click for more on this film.

"I can’t recall a time in my life I haven’t had a pencil in my hand," -- William Creber

THE DETECTIVE, 1968, 20th Century Fox, 114 min. Hardboiled filmmaker Gordon Douglas (veteran helmer of Cagney gem KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE as well as Sinatra’s TONY ROME and LADY IN CEMENT) directs this splendid neo-noir. Frank Sinatra is a fair, no-nonsense cop heading an investigation into the murder of a gay man that soon unravels into a web of drug-and-sex-addled police corruption. Lee Remick is Sinatra’s sexually voracious spouse, Jacqueline Bisset is a boyish waif (in a role originally intended for Mia Farrow) who may have clues to the crime, and Ralph Meeker, Jack Klugman, Al Freeman Jr. and Robert Duvall are just a few of Sinatra’s motley crew of colleagues. Tony Musante (BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE) delivers a disturbing, powerhouse performance as one of the main suspects. William Creber’s art direction ably accomplishes a seamless fit, melding New York City exteriors with interiors shot on a Hollywood soundstage. THE DETECTIVE is yet another film that premiered at the Egyptian! Click for more on this film. 10 minute clip reel preceding the film. Discussion following the film with art director William J. Creber.
