Do opposites attract? Ask Katie Morosky (Barbra Streisand) & Hubbell Gardiner (Robert Redford).

Despite themselves, love happens. Meeting in college-days, Katie is drawn to this charming, carefree WASP with a talent for writing, while Hubbell finds her intensity and pursuit of social causes irresistible.

Of course, that’s just the beginning of the love story. Things happen, life takes them to Hollywood, and everything becomes even more complicated.

This is a special 40th anniversary showing of this famous movie. The story is told in flashback, and the scenes and soundtrack will linger in your mind long after the movie is over.

Don’t miss it!

The showing is on Thursday, February 14 at 7pm. All seats are $8. Getting to the theater early is always a good idea–for a choice of seating and to order freshly-made food and drinks. You are strongly advised to buy tickets in advance at the box office or online.

Psycho follows Marion Crane as she steals $40,000 from her employer’s client and takes off across the country. When she stops for the night at an out-of-the-way motel she encounters Norman Bates, a young man who is psychologically dominated by his mother. You probably know what happens next, and if you don’t, I’m not going to tell you. In 1960 Alfred Hitchcock asked people who had seen the movie to keep its surprises secret, and insisted that no one would be admitted into the theater once the movie had begun.

Psycho features Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, Vera Miles as her sister Lila, Martin Balsam as Detective Arbogast and Anthony Perkins in one of the screen’s iconic performances as Norman Bates. The American Film Institute rates Psycho as the greatest thriller of all time, and as the fourteenth-best American movie of all time. They rate the score, by Bernard Hermann, as fourth-best of all time–it’s so good that orchestras sometimes perform it by itself. The movie was nominated for four Oscars, including best director and best art direction (the Bates Motel is almost a character itself).

The showing is on Thursday, January 10 at 7 PM. All seats are $8. Getting to the theater early is always a good idea–for a choice of seating and to order freshly-made food and drinks. You are strongly advised to buy tickets in advance at the box office or online.

Cerrito Classics is showing an extra classic in December (see also “Come celebrate Cerrito Theater’s 75th anniversary on Dec 13th.”)

A heart-warming story set in small-town America in the 1940’s, “A Christmas Story” tells how 9-year-old Ralphie has to convince his parents, teacher, and Santa that a Red Ryder BB-gun is the perfect Christmas gift for him.  The stars are Peter Billingsley, Melinda Dillon, and Darren McGavin. Based on the memoir by Jean Shepherd, ” In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash.”

Ralphie’s visit to Santa may be the most surprising and original Santa scene of any movie.  It’s Christmas, with a twist.  Don’t miss it!

Pick up your tickets now–at the box office–or order online.  All seats are $8.00.
