Hollywood Babylon presents a rare 35mm print of this 1931 pre-Code classic!

Joan Blondell and James Cagney are two hotel employees who flirt and con their way toward easy money, until a smooth-talking swindler, played by Louis Calhern, turns the tables.

This pre-Code comedy really delivers, with plenty of innuendo, skimpy outfits, and delightfully bad behavior. Also starring Ray Milland and Guy Kibbee. Director: Roy Del Ruth

The groundbreaking theatrical debut of legendary anime studio GAINAX (NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, GUNBUSTER) returns to the big screen!

On a future Earth, war between the Kingdom of Honneamise and its rival, The Republic, is inevitable. As evolving technology creates new ways to wage war, a small group seeks to propel mankind into space in their world’s first spaceflight program. For astronaut candidate Shirotsugh Lhadatt, it’s a personal odyssey as he grows from an aimless young man into a leader willing to put everything on the line in order to move the human race forward and away from the brink of Armageddon.

In 1987, ROYAL SPACE FORCE: THE WINGS OF HONNEAMISE challenged anime conventions and established GAINAX as a boundary pushing studio in the industry. Nearly bankrupting GAINAX upon arrival, ROYAL SPACE FORCE remains one of the most ambitious spectacles of theatrical Japanese animation 39 years later.

Orson Welles has a special message!

On Sat. 9/19 and Sun. 9/20, live musicians will perform onstage original music composed by Mark Orton for one of the greatest films ever made, Buster Keaton's The General.

“There’s no better way to experience it than this… The music that Orton wrote for these screenings is perfection.” - Portland Mercury

“There’s something right about filling the room with live music again for the Hollywood Theatre’s hundredth. I wanted a festival built on new scores, written and played by musicians who are formidable composers in their own right… Scoring a silent film is a fascinating endeavor. In a contemporary film you’re working around dialogue and minding the overall soundscape. In a silent film, the music can step out more, both narratively and lyrically, becoming a near equal partner with the image.” -Mark Orton

Sonic Silents, a new festival curated by composer Mark Orton, brings four nights of newly commissioned scores for silent film to the Hollywood Theatre stage September 17-20. Each score will be performed live by the musicians who wrote it.

Linda Blair stars as the tough-as-nails leader of a girl gang called the Satins. One night as they cruise Hollywood Boulevard, they run afoul of the Scars, a sleazy gang who sexually assault Blair's sister.

Blair suits up in a leather jumpsuit, buys a crossbow, and starts down a path of revenge. Overloaded with Eighties excess, this is one of the best exploitation films of the era.

ONE FREE MEMBER-SIZE POPCORN FOR ANYONE ATTENDING THE SCREENING IN A CLOWN COSTUME!

IT (2017)
In the summer of 1989, children of Derry, Maine start disappearing and, the ones that are found, are horribly mutilated. Seven friends, a group of outcasts self-identifying as “The Losers Club,” compare eerie visions and terrifying experiences and begin to understand an evil exists beneath their otherwise quiet town.

A shape-shifting monster lurking in the sewers empowered by fear is responsible for the murders and often lures children under the guise of “Pennywise the Dancing Clown.” Alone, the children are vulnerable, but together, they may have enough strength and courage to eradicate this otherworldly evil forever. Directed by Andy Muschietti and starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise.

IT: Chapter Two (2019)
Through their combined efforts, The Losers Club thought perhaps they had defeated Pennywise in 1989. Uncertain of their success, each member swore an oath to reunite again in the event of ITs return.

27 years later, the grisly murders have begun again and each member is called back to fulfill their promise. The Losers Club, grown up, moved away, and having forgotten the horror they once confronted must now return to Derry and revisit the unspeakable evil once more. As skeptical adults, are they able to re-create the mystic camaraderie that may have been the key to their survival as children? Directed by Andy Muschietti and starring Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise.

Rotten Revival celebrates Shot-On-Video September with a true analog oddity!

If the B-52s collaborated with Negativland on an alt-Earth version of STAR TREK, it would feel a lot like SUROH: ALIEN HITCHHIKER—a mixed media hallucination from filmmaker Patrick McGuinn. The story follows Paul (Peter Gingerich), a skeptic who embarks on a spiritual, emotional, and sexual metamorphosis with an extraterrestrial named Suroh. Awash in LSD-tinged visuals and a pulsing acid-house soundtrack, this is a beautiful synthesis of experimental video art and q***r exploration.
