The Princess Bride

Excited for this cinematic journey to kick off our first movie night of the year!
We'll begin the evening with the sweeping Napoleonic epic, The Count of Monte Cristo. Immerse yourselves in a thrilling tale of betrayal, injustice, and the meticulously crafted revenge of Edmond Dantès. This swashbuckling adventure is filled with dramatic twists, compelling characters, and a satisfying arc of transformation and retribution.
And if you're feeling up for a second dose of adventure, stick around for the timeless classic, The Princess Bride. While lighter in spirit, it shares the underlying theme of overcoming injustice and fighting for love, albeit with a healthy dose of humor and fairytale charm. It's a perfect way to follow a tale of dramatic revenge with one of enduring wit and heart (and also some revenge).

Heathers
1988
Director: Michael Lehmann
Starring: Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, Kim Walker
9:00 - 11:30 pm
Mulholland Drive
2001
Director: David Lynch
Starring: Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Justin Theroux
Alright, film enthusiasts, let's get started with a plunge into the darkly comedic world of Heathers. This 1988 gem serves up a wickedly satirical look at high school hierarchies and the absurd lengths some will go to for social power. We're in for a wild ride filled with sharp wit, subversive humor, and a body count that's surprisingly entertaining. Get ready to question the very nature of popularity and the consequences of conformity in the most twisted way imaginable.
If you're prepared to stick around after the Heathers mayhem, we'll shift gears into the surreal and often unsettling realm of David Lynch with Mulholland Drive. This 2001 masterpiece is a cinematic puzzle box, a dreamlike exploration of identity, memory, and the dark side of Hollywood ambition. While seemingly worlds apart, both films delve into the complexities of identity and the deceptive nature of appearances. Heathers exposes the rot beneath the polished veneer of high school society, while Mulholland Drive unravels the illusion of dreams and the fractured reality of the self.

Expect an evening filled with fabulous costumes, outrageous antics, and plenty of callbacks.
So don your best fishnets, leathers, or gold panties, and get ready to do the Time Warp again! It's going to be a night of unforgettable frights and frivolity as we bid farewell to another season of backyard movie magic.
