Richard Brooks' cynical masterpiece stars vibrant Burt Lancaster as the titular character, a high spirited con man who transforms the ministry of earnest evangelist Jean Simmons in the 1920s midwest.

W/ Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson, Aidan Quinn, Julianne Moore, Oliver Platt
We kick off Johnny Depp's 50th Birthday weekend by showcasing his most defining (non-Tim Burton) performance. This quaint & quirky tribute to everything from the great silent-era comedians Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, make sure to brace yourself for a genuinely heart-wrenching 1990s romance. With Johnny Depp's show-stopping charm and Mary Stuart Masterson's Oscar worthy achievement and Aidan Quinn basically carrying the weight of the entire world inside his cloud-like soft-eyes, you better walk 500 miles so you don't miss this 20th Anniversary 35mm screening at the greatest movie theatre in the country. 98min. 35mm print courtesy of MGM.

9:30p WHAT'S EATiNG GiLBERT GRAPE (1993) - 20th Anniversary Written by Peter Hedges; Directed by Lasse Hallström
W/ Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Juliette Lewis, Mary Steeburgen, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover
Pulling together perhaps the decade's most astounding cast, director Lasse Hallström created this quiet, haunting picture of middle-America that should rank on alongside the greatest films of our time. Yet somehow it continues to slip through cinephile's cracks making it one of those films that needs to be seen to be believed. Johnny Depp's understated delivery enabled Leonardo DiCaprio to give his career's tour-de-force performance (Tommy Lee Jones took the Oscar that year for... The Fugitive.) Bring your long-lost friends and family to the 20th Anniversary 35mm screening of this contemporary classic. 118min. 35mm print courtesy of Paramount. Preceded by upcoming M4M events.

11:59p CRY BABY (1990) - 23rd Anniversary
Written/Directed by John Waters
W/ Johnny Depp, Amy Locane, Susan Tyrrell, Ricki Lake, Traci Lords, Iggy Pop, Mink Stole
After John Waters made his Hollywood crossover with Hairspray (1988), he set his sights on reinterpreting the modern musical Grease (1978), Baltimore-stye. Launching Johnny Depp's career is only one of the achievements that this toe-tapping, hip-skanking, camp-fest delivers. Although at the time of release Cry-Baby was too raunchy for mainstream moviegoers yet it didn't satisfy the grimy ghouls that worshipped John Waters' previous films. Now as it nearly reaches its 25th Anniversary (and getting its Broadway musical adaptation), come see how gratuitously groovy Johnny Depp and this actual cult classic truly is! 85min. 35mm print courtesy of Universal Studios. Preceded by a ton of John Waters trailers.
ONLY $13 for one or ALL THREE FiLMS! Advance tix @ Ticketweb.

ROMEO + JULIET 2:45, 7:00
Baz Luhrmann's arrestingly original post-modern take on Shakespeare's tragedy is set in Miami, where young, star-crossed lovers Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes light up the screen amidst the dizzying imagery. Brian Dennehy, John Leguizamo and Pete Postlethwaite co-star. (1996, 120 min, DCP 'Scope)
+ STRICTLY BALLROOM 1:00, 5:05, 9:20
This wildly off-beat comedy is about a renegade ballroom dancer who, on the eve of a dance competition, is forced to take up a new partner seemingly without promise. Luhrmann's debut film was a surprise international hit, winning over audiences and critics with its giddy blend of tongue-in-cheek humor and exhilarating dance sequences. Paul Mercurio, Tara Morice and Bill Hunter star. (1992, 94 min, 35mm)
SUNDAY JUNE 9 DOUBLE FEATURE
JOURNEY TO ITALY 3:05, 7:00 NEW RESTORATION! Among the most influential films of the postwar era, Roberto Rossellini’s masterpiece charts the declining marriage of a British couple (Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders) on a trip in the countryside near Naples. Considered an ancestor of the existential works of Michelangelo Antonioni; hailed as a groundbreaking work of modernism by the critics of Cahiers du cinéma; and named by Martin Scorsese as one of his favorite films, Journey to Italy is a breathtaking cinematic landmark. Janus Films is proud to present a new, definitive restoration of the essential English-language version of the film, featuring Bergman and Sanders voicing their own dialogue. (1954, 86 min, DCP)
+ STROMBOLI 1:00, 4:50, 8:40
The first installment in Rossellini's purgation trilogy stars Ingrid Bergman as a WWII refugee who accepts a proposal of marriage from island fisherman Mario Vitale. She soon finds that life there is only a minor improvement over prison camp and her discomfort turns to terror when the island's volcano threatens to erupt. A film of great pictorial beauty, the rugged scenery forms an apt backdrop for this essay on the instability of human relationships. (1949, 107 min/Restored cut, DCP)
