Come join us this Valentines Day weekend for some great classics! ---

His Girl Friday: This 1940 remake of 'The Front Page' features Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in a hilarious, hyperventilating romantic comedy which delivers dialog at break-neck speed. Cary Grant portrays newspaper editor Walter, whose ex-wife and star reporter is Hildy (Russell). One day Hildy shows up to tell him she's quitting and getting re-married, Walter convinces her to take on one last "easy" assignment - an interview with a death-row inmate found guilty of killing a policeman. Throw in a jailbreak, a suicide, a shooting, corrupt city officials and you've suddenly got one of the first and best screwball comedies ever!

Following that -Things to Come (1936): If you tend more towards war, plague, revolution and visions of the future ranging from The Road Warrior to Blade Runner, this is your movie. Beginning in Christmas, 1940 and centered in the city 'Everytown,' this landmark science fiction film follows a multi-decade war, the plague which follows, and the resultant retreat to a primitive society run by warlords. Then, in 1970, John Cabal, a scientist introduced earlier in the film, arrives as an envoy representing the group, 'Wings Over the World' which plans to restore civilization from its advanced scientific base. An orgy of technology continues until 2036 at which point Everytown is a vast and highly advanced underground city. However, dissension still exists and Luddites plan to stop the 'scientific tyranny' they live under.
