  • Mar, 20 @ 7:00Legally Blonde (2001) – Robert Luketic

Do I really need to introduce Legally Blonde? We all know and love it already. This is a Friday showing and I'll be making themed cocktails. It'll be the perfect way to end a long week.

  • Mar, 18 @ 7:00Runaway Jury (2003) – Gary Fleder

There was an era in the '80s and '90s when John Grisham would write a bestselling courtroom novel and then a few years later they'd make it into a movie and it would clean up at the box office and at the awards shows. Runaway Jury represents the end of that era. John Cusack, Gene Hackman, and Rachel Weisz star in this underrated legal thriller about jury manipulation.

  • Mar, 10 @ 7:0012 Angry Men (1957) – Sidney Lumet

We kick off our series with the first of two incredible trial movies by the great Sidney Lumet. The most exciting film you'll ever see set in a single room, 12 Angry Men is as much a movie about the jury deliberation process as it is about the American democratic process itself. This is one that I've spent a lot of time studying and disecting. Even if you've seen it before, come watch it again and I promise you'll find a new level to appreciate it on.

  • Mar, 1 @ 8:00Green Card (1990) – Peter Weir

Andie MacDowell and Gérard Depardieu (remember when he was a romantic leading man?) star in Peter Weir's 1990 romantic comedy about a marriage of convenience for an undocumented immigrant seeking a green card. I'm fascinated to see what it tells us about American cultural perception about immigration in the 90s.

  • Feb, 25 @ 7:00The Lady Eve (1941) – Preston Sturges

Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck star in this screwball comedy about a man who just can't help falling in love with a beautiful con woman. A masterful blend of physical and scripted comedy, it's often listed among the greatest American films of all time.

  • Feb, 23 @ 7:00You've Got Mail (1998) – Nora Ephron

Finishing off our Nora Ephron series, we ask ourselves the ultimate question: what does You've Got Mail have to say about dot-com era techno-corporate optimism and has it aged well in any way?

  • Feb, 20 @ 8:00Sleepless in Seattle (1993) – Nora Ephron

This time Nora's in the director's chair! We kick off an Ephron-Hanks-Ryan duology with a film that I've somehow never seen before!

  • Feb, 17 @ 7:00Heartburn (1986) – Mike Nichols

Nora Ephron's semi-autobiographical script about her marriage to legendary DC reporter Carl Bernstein (yes, Nora Ephron was married to Dustin Hoffman's character from All the President's Men) starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. Who doesn't love an Ephron movie set in New York!?

  • Feb, 9 @ 7:30 @ the Balboa TheaterTitanic (1997) – James Cameron

The Balboa Theater is screening what I believe to be one of the greatest films of all time on 35mm: James Cameron's Titanic. Come bask in the glory of this genre-spanning, epic masterpiece. (I swear to god if you show up talking about how they could both fit on the door I'll have a meltdown.)

  • Feb, 3 @ 7:00Blue Moon (2025) – Richard Linklater

Ethan Hawke was nominated for playing diminuitive Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart in this historical comedy-drama that sounds genuinely very charming. If you're a fan of musical theater, Margret Qualley, or the films of Richard Linklater, I'm sure you'll love this one.

  • Feb, 5 @ 7:00Sentimental Value (2025) – Joachim Trier

A film about a filmmaker and the complex effects artistic creation has on personal relationships. This movie was a complete blindspot for me and then it went and earned 9 nominations. Hollywood loves a movie about making movies, and so do I!

  • Jan, 27 @ 6:30It Was Just an Accident (2025) – Jafar Panahi

A film made at great personal risk in direct defiance of the Iranian government, it follows a former political prisoner who kidnaps the man he believes was once his torturer. I've heard amazing things about it and I can't wait to see it.

  • Jan. 22 @ 6:30If I had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) – Mary Bronstein

Rose Byrne stars in a different film about a mother really going through it. It's billed as a dark comedy, but I get the sense the emphasis is on the dark. As I'm writing this, Rose Byrne just won a Golden Globe for her performance.

  • Jan. 20 @ 7:00Die My Love (2025) — Lynne Ramsay

Jennifer Lawrence stars opposite Robert Pattinson in a film about a woman dealing with postpartum depression and psychosis in rural Montana. Look, it sounds pretty intense, but JLaw has been nominated for an Academy Award and I'm here to enjoy the Lawrenaissance.

  • Jan. 13 @ 7:00Bugonia (2025) — Yorgos Lanthimos

A film about two men who kidnap a CEO (Emma Stone) who they're convinced is actually an Alien. Yorgos is an absolute freak [complementary] so I have no idea what to expect here but I bet it's good.

  • Jan. 5 @ 6:30The Mastermind (2025) — Kelley Reichardt

Josh O'Connor (an actor I'm obsessed with) plays a down-on-his-luck man who plots to rob a small suburban art museum. It's both a throwback to the cinema of the 70s and a statement about individualism and class

  • Jan. 7 @ 6:00Roofman (2025) — Derek Cianfrance

Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst star in a romantic comedy about an escaped convict with a heart of gold hiding out inside a Toys-R-Us. This is one of those "kinds of films they don't make anymore" that they went ahead and made! And no one saw it! Which is sad!

  • Jan. 3 @ 5:05 @ the Presidio TheaterThe Secret Agent (1987) — Kleber Mendonça Filho

Cinema Tyler goes on its first field trip to an actual theater to see this underdog Oscar condender about life and political intrigue under Brazil's military dictatorship. I've heard great things about this as both a period piece and a statement about life under a represive regime.

  • Jan. 1 @ 6:00The Princess Bride (1987) — Rob Reiner

Let's start the year off right and pay tribute to an all time great.

  • Dec. 28 @ 7:00When Harry Met Sally... (1989) — Rob Reiner

Technically a New Years movie! Autumnal vibes! Billy Crystal's white cable knit sweater!

  • Dec. 22 @ 7:30It's a Wonderful Life (1946) — Frank Capra

This is a good one, folks. Come to this if you want to see me cry just a little.

  • Dec. 18 @ 6:45The Holdovers (2023) — Alexander Payne

My pitch for the newest entry in the Christmas Classics canon. A truly lovely film.

  • Dec. 16 @ 6:30The Family Stone (2004) — Thomas Bezucha

One of Ally's favorite films! I have...mixed feelings about it.

  • Dec. 11 @ 7:00The Phoenician Scheme (2025) — Wes Anderson

Who doesn't love a Wes Anderson movie? Benicio is probably going to win an Oscar this year (for a different movie, but whatever)!
