With the passing of Paul Reubens, the man that made a career portraying the adorkable Pee-Wee Herman, we want to give him one last big screen farewell with the classic comedy from director Tim Burton, Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure! Hilarious and undeniably creative, this adventure with Pee-Wee to find his stolen bicycle is a highlight reel of the best of this lovable character.
The con is on! Paul Newman and Robert Redford reunite after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the ultimate heist movie that turns 50 years old this year, The Sting! A funny and clever comedy-mystery that took home seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, it’s a classic film every film lover should see on the big screen!
After 100 years it’s proven that the comic genius of silent star Harold Lloyd is eternal. Chaplin is the sweet innocent, Keaton the stoic outsider, but Lloyd—the modern guy striving for success—is us. And with its torrent of perfectly executed gags and astonishing stunts, Safety Last! is the perfect introduction to him. Lloyd plays a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city, who finds employment as a lowly department-store clerk. He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store, resulting in an incredible feat of derring-do on his part that gets him started on the climb to success. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is a movie experience par excellence, anchored by a genuine legend.

Heart-pounding family-friendly action in this throwback to the early 2000s, it’s Spy Kids! Indie action director Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, Sin City) brings this vibrant and imaginative world to life as two kids discover of their parent’s secret lives as secret agents, and must rescue them from evil powers in this joyful film that proves that you don’t have to be an adult to make a difference! Gear up for a heavy dose of nostalgia at the Babcock!
A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, The Princess Bride has charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzling swordplay. A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingly allows his grandfather (Peter Falk) to read him a dusty storybook—which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout role), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart belongs to Westley (Cary Elwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale full of swashbuckling, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-tale classic.

In the hands of the renowned experimental theater director Peter Brook, William Golding’s legendary novel about the primitivism lurking beneath civilization becomes a film as raw and ragged as the lost boys at its center. Taking an innovative documentary-like approach, Brook shot Lord of the Flies with an off-the-cuff naturalism, seeming to record a spontaneous eruption of its characters’ ids. The result is a rattling masterpiece, as provocative as its source material.
