“So tautly directed that you can practically feel the panic-sweat trickling down the back of your own neck. Brisk, jittery and predominantly filmed with hand-held cameras, September 5 features a standout performance…It’s terrific: nail-chewing, edge-of-the-seat stuff.” – Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)

"The Last Picture Show"  - (1971 - R; 1 hour, 58 minutes) - Classic Film Series selection - Set in a fading Texas town in the early 1950s, this is a poignant coming-of-age drama that captures the struggles, heartbreaks, and disillusionment of small-town life. Directed by Peter Bogdanovich and based on Larry McMurtry’s novel, the film follows best friends Sonny Crawford (Timothy Bottoms) and Duane Jackson (Jeff Bridges) as they navigate the complexities of love, loss, and adulthood in a town where the local movie theater—once a source of joy and escapism—is closing its doors for good.

The film features a stellar ensemble cast, including Cybill Shepherd in her breakout role as the alluring, but manipulative Jacy, and Cloris Leachman and Ben Johnson in career-defining performances. Both Leachman and Johnson won Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor, respectively, for their deeply moving portrayals. With its stark black-and-white cinematography and evocative storytelling, The Last Picture Show is a haunting and beautifully crafted exploration of nostalgia, loneliness, and the end of an era—earning its place as a timeless American classic. Two shows only at 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 13 and Saturday, March 15.
