DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB (1964) - JULY 5TH

UPCOMING SHOWTIMES:

Saturday, July 5:  4:30

Stanley Kubrick’s razor-sharp satire Dr. Strangelove (1964) imagines the unthinkable: a nuclear apocalypse triggered by paranoia, political bluster, and one dangerously unhinged general. When General Jack D. Ripper orders a surprise attack on the Soviet Union—fueled by delusions about communist plots and "precious bodily fluids"—military brass and politicians scramble to avert disaster from the confines of the War Room. Peter Sellers shines in three iconic roles, including the titular Dr. Strangelove, in a film that remains frighteningly funny and shockingly relevant.

As tensions once again rise across the globe and rhetoric outpaces reason, Dr. Strangelove reminds us how close the line between absurdity and annihilation really is. Join us for this timely classic that still hits uncomfortably close to home.

Directed By: Stanley Kubrick

Georgia O’Keeffe is widely revered as the “Mother of American Modernism” and the greatest woman artist of the 20th century.

In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by her lover, Alfred Stieglitz. But she denied the widespread belief that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, living in her beloved New Mexico, she emerged as an iconic role model for American women.

This feature documentary film stars Claire Danes as the Voice of Georgia O’Keeffe with narration by Hugh Dancy.

What begins as harmless people-watching turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse in this masterwork of suspense from Alfred Hitchcock. Confined to his apartment with a broken leg, photojournalist L.B. Jefferies (James Stewart) spends his days spying on neighbors from his rear window. But when he suspects one of them of murder, he enlists the help of his elegant girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) and no-nonsense nurse Stella to uncover the truth—before it’s too late. A razor-sharp thriller and a voyeuristic meditation on urban life, Rear Window remains one of Hitchcock’s most gripping and stylish achievements.
