We
kick
off
our
evening
of "Heartbreaking
80's
teen
flicks" with
a
true
underrated
gem.
Corey
Haim
gives
his
greatest
performance
(The
Lost
Boys
a
close
second)
as
Lucas
Blye,
an
awkward
little
guy
who
would
rather
collect
bugs
and
hang
with
his
best
friend
(Winona
Ryder's
debut),
than
party
with
the
jocks
(Charlie
Sheen).
Until
one
day,
he
falls
for
the
senior
class
beauty
and
suddenly
Lucas
is
doing
everything
he
can
to
get
her
attention
(including
joining
the
football
team!)
This
quiet
coming
of
age
tale
will
sucker-punch
you
as
it
explores
the
true
horrors
of
High
School
hierarchies.
Don't
miss
this
RARE
screening.
Preceeded
by
a
handful
of
heartbreaking
trailers. 100min.
35mm.

 9:45pm
SAY
ANYTHING (1989) Written & Directed
by
Cameron
Crowe.
Containing: John Cusack, Ione Skye, Lili Taylor, Jeremy Piven, John Mahony, Eric Stoltz.
This
young-adult
masterpiece
manages
to genuinely
capture
the low
self-esteem
that so
many of
us experienced
in High
School.
Lloyd Dobler
(Cusack)
has just
graduated
and other
than wanting
to become
the world's
greatest
kickboxing
champion,
he wants
to ask
out the
class valedictorian
(Skye).
Not only
is the
chemistry
between
Cusack & Skye
a rare
romantic
achievement,
the off-beat
side-characters
will evoke
more teen
nostalgia
than any
of your
old journals.
You may
have watched
this film
many times
before,
but how
many of
you have
experienced
it on the
big screen?!
(Just think
about it,
Peter Gabriel's "In
Your Eyes" blasting
in the
theatre!)
Preceeded
by a bunch
of 80's
teen trailers.

MIDNITE
 MY
BLOODY
VALENTINE (1981)
Directed by George Mihalka.
Containing:
Paul
Kelman,
Lori
Hallier,
Cynthia
Dale
(Heavenly
Bodies)
and
Peter
Cowper
(as
Harry).
"There's
more
than
one
way
to
lose
your
heart." Following
John
Carpenter's Halloween,
a
slew
of
stalker
knock-offs
hit
the
theatres
and
this
one
still
holds
up
as
one
of
the
best
of
the
early
1980's.
On
the
twenty-year
anniversary
of
a
freak
mining
accident,
the
small
town
of
Valentine
Bluffs
seems
to
have
forgotten
all
about
the
grisly
deaths
of
yester-year
and
decides
to
throw
a
Valentine's
dance.
Unlucky
for
them,
a
maniac
(dressed
in
one-helluva
disturbing
disguise)
is
stalking
the
teenagers
with
a
pick-axe,
creating
some
of
the
most
gruesome
deaths
of
the
genre.
Extremely
RARE
print!
Preceeded
by
some
amazingly
obscure
Stalker
trailers.
91min.
35mm.
$10 for ALL THREE FILMS!
