This Week in Screenings 6/30-7/7

Friday 6/30

Hackers | Paramount Theatre

Presented by Hyperreal Film Club

I love ‘90s movies with computers 

THE LAST OF SHEILA | Austin Film Society

I saw the preview as part of the pre-show at the Alamo before Glass Onion so I’m assuming this is gonna be like that. 

Dirty Dancing | Blue Starlite Mueller 

If you missed it at the Galaxy last week you have another chance. 

Saturday 7/1

CHOCOLAT | Austin Film Society

Claire Denis’ first movie.

THE ELEPHANT MAN | Austin Film Society

I always forget David Lynch made this.

LYNCH/OZ | Austin Film Society

Speaking of David Lynch you can see how obsessed he is with Wizard of Oz in this documentary.

Midsommer | Blue Starlite Mueller

The Fika Table will be there with Swedish snacks again.

This is the last showing at Mueller for a month. Looks like they are taking a break.

Sunday 7/2

Deadly Weapons | Violet Crown 

Presented by Crown and Club in partnership with Hyperreal Film Club.

Poster Swap Sunday.

A Doris Wishman classic.

Dunkirk | Alamo Drafthouse

Movies like this are not as much fun to watch on TV.

Inception | Alamo Drafthouse

Ditto.

JAWS | Galaxy Theatres

I could watch this on TV.

But it’s only $5 at the Galaxy Theatre.

$3.99 on Alamo On Demand.

You decide.

Monday 7/3

The Return of the Living Dead | Alamo Drafthouse 

I love the ‘80s punk energy of this movie. It’s like the lighter side of ‘80s punk.

Jaws (1975) Movie Party | Alamo Drafthouse

Oh if you didn’t want to stream it but couldn’t make it to the Galaxy there’s this party.

Once Upon a Time in Uganda + BAD BLACK Double Feature | Alamo Drafthouse

Documentary about the Ugandan film scene presented with a Ugandan action movie.

SOUTHLAND TALES | HOTEL VEGAS

Hyperreal presents.

What if you made Donnie Darko and then were told you could do whatever you want.

Tuesday 7/4

PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH | Galaxy Theatres 

$2 screening 

I liked it. Apparently not everyone did. 

Come Back to the 5 and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean | Alamo Drafthouse 

Part of the Doll Parts: 70 Years of Trans Cinema series 

I think this ends the series. I hope we get more like this. This is a really great Robert Altman movie.

REMINISCENCES OF A JOURNEY TO LITHUANIA | Austin Film Society

Avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas returns to Lithuania after 27 years and documents it 

I only know him from the John Lennon Yoko Ono stuff and his associations with Andy Warhol.

Shin Ultraman (Subtitled) | Alamo Drafthouse

This is the true Ultraman.

Tales from the Hood | Alamo Drafthouse 

Part of the Terror Tuesday series 

4k restoration of this 4 part horror anthology from 1995. Pretty ahead of its time. 

Wednesday 7/5

We Luv Kung Fu at the Paramount.

Trolls World Tour | Alamo Drafthouse

Part of the Kids Camp series.

I heard this one is actually good.

Alice in Wonderland (1933) | Alamo Drafthouse

Part of the Weird Wednesday series.

I’ve seen clips of this and it looks so bizarre. I’m happy they are showing it in full. 

Thursday 7/6

Iconic song.

Thank you We Luv Video for giving me something to put on Thursday.
