"Conclave" - (PG; 2 hours) - After the sudden death of the Pope, Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is thrust into overseeing one of the Vatican's most secretive traditions: the election of a new Pope.

Conclave takes viewers behind closed doors into the tension and intrigue of this ancient ritual, where faith, power, and secrets collide. Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Dec. 12, 7 p.m.
"Sunset Boulevard" - Classic Film Series selection - (1950; 1 hour, 50 minutes) - An aging silent film queen (Gloria Swanson) refuses to accept that her stardom has ended. She hires a young screenwriter (William Holden) to help set up her movie comeback. The screenwriter believes he can manipulate her, but he soon finds out he is wrong. The screenwriters’ ambivalence about their relationship and her unwillingness to let go leads to a situation of violence, madness, and death. TWO SHOWS ONLY! Thursday, Dec. 12, 2 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 14, 2 p.m.
“Billy Wilder’s chillingly cold-blooded satire of Hollywood is one of his finest films — and indeed arguably one of the greatest movies of the period.” — Wendy Ide, Times (UK)
"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" - (PG; 1 hour, 39 minutes) - The Herdmans are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, they steal, they bully… and now they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Based on Barbara Robinson’s beloved 1972 children’s book, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are in over their heads, especially against a town that wants them to kick the Herdmans out. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas. Opening Friday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. with Family Free Pass Night! Visit our website to reserve your free passes. Valid ONLY on Friday, December 13. Plays at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec 14; 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15 and Wednesday, Dec. 18 (OCAP); and Thursday, Dec. 19, 7 p.m. through Jan. 2.
"Quartet" - Tea with Dame Maggie Series - (2012; PG13; 1 hour, 39 minutes) - This December, Harbor Theater celebrates the legendary Dame Maggie Smith. Serving a few of her iconic films with a British Tea featuring finger sandwiches, cookies, scones, cake, tea, and wine. "Quartet" is a film about once-popular opera diva Jean Horton (Maggie Smith) creates a stir with her arrival at Beecham House, a home for retired performers. No one feels the uproar more than Reginald (Tom Courtenay), Jean's ex-husband, who still stings from her long-ago infidelity.

Jean, however, knows that she is long past her prime and is reluctant to sully the memory of her once-lovely voice.
