Hundreds of Beavers (2022)
A drunken applejack salesman must fight hundreds of beavers to save his orchards and brewery plus find love in this new cult comedy that has been compared to Looney Toons and silent slapstick cinema in a loving way. Of course the beavers are really actors in giant mascot costumes - the movie is not trying to hide that but lean into it - along with thousands of effects shots, puppetry, miniatures and props used to amazing comedic effect that must be seen with a live audience to truly go nuts with. Made in Wisconsin over two very cold winters for $150,000 by two high school buddies, it doesn't get more indie than this.Get tickets to Hundreds of Beavers (2022)
Seven Samurai (1954)
In Japanese with English subtitles | 4K Restoration
One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, SEVEN SAMURAI tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.

The Princess Bride (1987)
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.
