This week at the Lincoln Theater
“Lee” - (R; 1 hour, 57 minutes) - A pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet). Miller’s singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century’s most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler’s private bathtub. Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Final showtime Thursday, Oct. 31 at 2 p.m.
“The Wild Robot” - (PG; 1 hour, 42 minutes) - Based on Peter Brown’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel for children, “The Wild Robot” follows the epic journey of a robot–ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. Playing at 2 and 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1 and Wednesday, Nov. 6; plays at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3 and Thursday, Nov. 7. AND ...

“Laura” - (1944; 1 hour, 28 minutes) - Film 2 in Lincoln Theater’s Classic Film Club “Lights, Cameras, Classics.” Movie critic Roger Ebert calls “Laura” film noir perfection. From its haunting title song to its shocking finish, this taut murder-mystery grips you by the throat and never lets go. Dana Andrews portrays a homicide detective who’s obsessed with a woman he’s never met, and Clifton Webb copped an Oscar nomination for his role as an acid-tongued columnist with a stunning secret. There will be a pre-film introduction and post-screening talkback with film historian and CFC host, Jeannie MacDonald. Plays at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 and Friday, Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. Tickets: Free for CFC Member, $9 adult, $6 LT members and youth 18 and under.
