Disney’s Beauty and <strong>the</strong> Beast is a live-acti<strong>on</strong> re-telling of <strong>the</strong><br />
studio’s animated classic. It re-fashi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>the</strong> classic characters<br />
from <strong>the</strong> tale as old as time for a c<strong>on</strong>temporary audience, staying<br />
true to <strong>the</strong> original music while updating <strong>the</strong> score with several<br />
new s<strong>on</strong>gs. Beauty and <strong>the</strong> Beast is <strong>the</strong> fantastic journey of Belle,<br />
a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken<br />
pris<strong>on</strong>er by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends<br />
<strong>the</strong> castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look bey<strong>on</strong>d <strong>the</strong> Beast’s<br />
hideous exterior and realise <strong>the</strong> kind heart and soul of <strong>the</strong> true<br />
Prince within.<br />

Director John Hughes<br />
Starring Mat<strong>the</strong>w Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jennifer Grey, Charlie Sheen<br />
Described by critic Mark M<strong>on</strong>ahan as <strong>the</strong> “best film writer-director<br />
John Hughes has ever made: pin-sharp, exquisitely funny and<br />
occasi<strong>on</strong>ally profound … very much of its time but still fresh as a<br />
daisy.” Ferris Bueller’s Day Off stars Mat<strong>the</strong>w Broderick as a wise<br />
cracking high school student who c<strong>on</strong>vinces his entire school he’s<br />
at death’s door, <strong>the</strong>n hits <strong>the</strong> streets of Chicago with his girlfriend<br />
and best friend for a day of fun.<br />
Groundhog Day<br />
USA, 1993, 101 mins, PG<br />
Director Harold Ramis<br />
Starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott<br />
The legendary Bill Murray is at his wry, wisecracking best in<br />
this riotous romantic comedy about a wea<strong>the</strong>rman caught in a<br />
pers<strong>on</strong>al time warp <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> worst day of his life. Teamed with a<br />
relentlessly cheerful producer and a smart-aleck cameraman,<br />
Phil C<strong>on</strong>nors is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover <strong>the</strong><br />
annual Groundhog Day festivities. But <strong>on</strong> his way out of town, Phil<br />
is caught in a giant blizzard, which he failed to predict, and finds<br />
himself stuck in small-town hell. Just when things couldn’t get any<br />
worse, Phil wakes <strong>the</strong> next morning to find it’s Groundhog Day all<br />
over again… and again… and again.<br />
Singin’ in <strong>the</strong> Rain<br />
USA, 1952, 103 mins, U<br />
Directors Gene Kelly and Stanley D<strong>on</strong>en<br />
Starring Gene Kelly, D<strong>on</strong>ald O’C<strong>on</strong>nor, Debbie Reynolds<br />
Surely <strong>the</strong>re is nothing left to say about Singin’ in <strong>the</strong> Rain! It is<br />
almost universally regarded as <strong>the</strong> greatest movie musical of all<br />
time, Gene Kelly stars as a Hollywood legend of <strong>the</strong> silent era,<br />
who finds his career jeopardized when he and his shrill-voiced<br />
leading lady must appear in a talkie toge<strong>the</strong>r, but it is <strong>the</strong> musical<br />
numbers and Kelly’s breathtaking choreography which elevate<br />
Singin’ in <strong>the</strong> Rain to “must see” status.<br />
The Lego Batman Movie<br />
USA, <strong>2017</strong>, 104 mins, U<br />
Director Chris McKay<br />
Starring Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Rosario Daws<strong>on</strong>, Ralph Fiennes, Zach Galifianakis<br />
Following <strong>the</strong> success of 2014 smash hit The Lego Movie,<br />
everything is still, very much, awesome with The Lego Batman<br />
Movie! A cooler-than-ever Bruce Wayne must deal with <strong>the</strong> ALL<br />
of <strong>the</strong> usual suspects as <strong>the</strong>y plan to rule Gotham City, while also<br />
discovering that he has accidentally adopted a teenage orphan<br />
who wished to become his sidekick. Crackling with <strong>the</strong> same<br />
childlike joy that made its predecessor such a treat, The Lego<br />
Batman Movie is certainly <strong>the</strong> funniest Batman movie in a l<strong>on</strong>g<br />
time and possibly <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> most enjoyable as well.<br />
Labyrinth<br />
USA, 1986, 101 mins, U<br />
Director Jim Hens<strong>on</strong><br />
Starring David Bowie, Jennifer C<strong>on</strong>nelly, Toby Froud<br />
A cult favorite directed by visi<strong>on</strong>ary Jim Hens<strong>on</strong>, Labyrinth is both<br />

(Jennifer C<strong>on</strong>nelly), stuck babysitting her baby bro<strong>the</strong>r Toby,<br />
angrily wishes that goblins from her favorite book The Labyrinth<br />
will come take him away. When her wish comes true, Sarah must<br />

save Toby.<br />
La Belle et La Bête<br />
France, 1946, 96 mins, PG<br />
Director Jean Cocteau<br />
Starring Jean Marais, Josette Day, Mila Parély<br />
“One of <strong>the</strong> most magical of all films” is how legendary film<br />
critic Roger Ebert described <strong>the</strong> Jean Cocteau fantasy film which<br />
inspired Hollywood’s fascinati<strong>on</strong> with <strong>the</strong> beautiful Belle, and her<br />
Beast. You know <strong>the</strong> story, a beautiful young woman takes her<br />
fa<strong>the</strong>r’s place as <strong>the</strong> pris<strong>on</strong>er of a mysterious beast who wishes to<br />
marry her. Now you can see <strong>the</strong> classic French masterpiece, which<br />
first brought Belle to <strong>the</strong> big screen, presented under <strong>the</strong> stars, in<br />

war and intrigue, in <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> greatest eras of Indian history.<br />
It has been nominated for and w<strong>on</strong>, numerous awards at <str<strong>on</strong>g>Film</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Festival</str<strong>on</strong>g>s across <strong>the</strong> world. We are proud to be partnering with<br />

in a Central Park West apartment. What <strong>the</strong>y discover is that all<br />
Manhattan is being besieged by o<strong>the</strong>r worldly dem<strong>on</strong>s. Calling<br />
Ghostbusters a cult classic doesn’t quite do it justice, for many it is<br />
THE cult classic, it is certainly an absolute joy and probably more<br />
frightening than you remember.<br />
Being There<br />
USA, 1979, 130 mins, 12<br />

Peter Sellers is <strong>the</strong> simple-minded gardener, Chance, who<br />
has spent all his life in <strong>the</strong> Washingt<strong>on</strong> D.C. house of an old<br />
man. When <strong>the</strong> man dies, Chance is put out <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> street with<br />
no knowledge of <strong>the</strong> world except what he has learned from<br />
televisi<strong>on</strong>. After a run in with a limousine, he ends up a guest of a<br />
wealthy woman and her husband Ben, an influential but sickly<br />
businessman. Now called Chauncey Gardiner, Chance becomes<br />
friend and c<strong>on</strong>fidante to Ben, and an unlikely political insider, his<br />
naive view of <strong>the</strong> world making him increasingly popular. This<br />
widely-praised, award-winning comedy drama is perhaps more<br />
salient in <strong>the</strong> current political climate, than ever before.<br />
