Screening in 35mm

A master work of the Revisionist Western subgenre and a personal fave of our dear, recently passed H.G. Webb, Sam Peckinpah’s classic THE WILD BUNCH tells the tale of a band of aging outlaws forced to contend with the inevitable death of their chosen lifestyle and the Old West as they once knew it.

The path of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s journey from relative obscurity to a rediscovered candy-coated midnight classic ran right through the Belcourt. To wit, a VHS tape rescued and fan-subtitled to an underground website went above board, found one of its first legit screenings in the Belcourt’s Midnight Movies program — for which a hand-designed screenprint was printed and sold as a bonus, its design picked up by Janus Films/Criterion Collection for its ensuing theatrical and BluRay releases — and HOUSE was reborn.

The fantastic exploits of He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) and his arch rival, the evil Skeletor (Frank Langella), are brought to the big screen for the first time in this high camp box office catastrophe.

On June 3, 2000, our organization reopened the Belcourt after a year and a half of uncertainty. With this screening on the evening of June 2, 2026, CROUPIER finally returns to bookend our organization’s first 26 years. Taking a job as a casino croupier just to make ends meet, aspiring writer Jack finds himself seduced by the high stakes world of luck and chance. His attention is caught by a down-on-her-luck gambler with designs to recruit Jack for an inside job. Starring a little-known Clive Owen, directed by Mike Hodges (GET CARTER).

Part of Staff Picks and programmed by Coley, who says: “BABA BOOEY! Produced by comedy guru Ivan Reitman (GHOSTBUSTERS) and directed by Betty Thomas (CAN’T HARDLY WAIT), this biopic based on Howard Stern’s #1 New York Times best seller of the same name follows his meteoric rise from Boston University to WNBC in New York City. After conquering radio, TV and print, this film cemented Stern as the self-proclaimed “King of All Media.” Howard Stern is a national treasure and the greatest entertainer who ever lived.”
