This Week in Screenings 1/26-2/1
Friday 1/26
Beauty and the Beast (1991) | Alamo Drafthouse
I think we can all agree The Beast looked better before the curse ended.
THE CASSANDRA CAT | Austin Film Society
Delightful Czech movie about a small town visited by a magic cat.
Clueless Movie Party | Alamo Drafthouse
Jane Austen’s Emma in the ‘90s.
You know.
Office Space Movie Party | Alamo Drafthouse
It’s the movie by the guy that made King of the Hill.
Maybe the best Bill Murray performance?
1999, what a year.
The Talented Mr. Ripley | Alamo Drafthouse
Good time to revisit this movie.
True Romance | Blue Starlite Downtown
In honor of Valentine’s Day you can watch this movie written by Quentin Tarantino.
BABY BLOOD | Austin Film Society
Part of the Lates series.
Apparently this baby needs blood.
Saturday 1/27
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial | FlixBrewhouse
We all have an E.T. story, right?
Casablanca | Blue Starlite Downtown
Watch it in your car so you can smoke.
Just kidding, don’t smoke.
Presented by The Art of COOP.
This is probably my favorite of the Goblin soundtracks.
EIC note: You can also come to Alienated Majesty Books at 7:00 p.m. for a Road House screening with a special reading of Pain Don’t Hurt by Christopher Brown, Jazmyne Moreno, and Ziah Grace.
Sunday 1/28
The Wizard of Oz 85th Anniversary | Cinemark | Regal | FlixBrewhouse
The most important movie ever made.
I think their combined weight would have made the door sink.
They finally gave Denzel Washington his academy award.
Monday 1/29
Watch an as-of-yet unreleased horror movie.
Part of the 1999 series, but also part of the Queer Film Theory 101 series.
It’s nice when things work out like that.
Hyperreal Film Club presents.
Drew Barrymore is Guncrazy.
Mystery Transmission 008 | Alamo Drafthouse
I’m guessing this is gonna be Gnaw or Food of the Gods 2.
But who knows.
Tuesday 1/30
Tetsuo: The Iron Man | Alamo Drafthouse
Part of the Terror Tuesday series.
Sold out at the moment but if you really wanna see it check and maybe a seat will open up.
BLACK GIRL/BOROM SARRET | Austin Film Society
Part of a series they are doing showing the movies of Ousmane Sembène, the Senegalese director.
Wednesday 1/31
The Breakfast Club | Cinépolis
Screening at both locations.
Classic movie setting up the types of kids that exist.
These are the types. There are no other types.
HOUSEHOLD SAINTS | Austin Film Society
Vincent D’Onofrio, Tracey Ullman, and Lili Taylor in this newly restored movie.
ROTTING IN THE SUN | EastSide Cinema
Presented by OUTsider and Second Take.
One of the best movies to come out last year.
But that’s just my opinion.
Thursday 2/1
The food always looks good in Miyazaki movies.
Grosse Pointe Blank | Blue Starlite Central
I remember liking this movie but then I haven’t seen it in forever.
MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO | Austin Film Society
Now this is a good movie.
Go see it.
I’m gay and I watch a lot of movies
