The Long, Hot Summer - THURSDAY, JUNE 4 AT 11:00AM

Passions ignite in the blazing summer sun when Paul Newman rolls into town and gets everyone hot under the collar in this steamy drama based on the work of legendary Southern novelist William Faulkner. Handsome drifter Ben Quick (a swaggering Newman), returns to the small Mississippi town his late father (a rumored pyromaniac) called home, after being run out of another town following accusations of barn burning. Ingratiating himself with the ruthless and powerful local businessman Will Varner (Orson Welles), Quick soon finds himself at odds with the entire Varner family. Varner’s daughter Clara (Joanne Woodward), a prim schoolteacher, is determined to resist Quick’s questionable charms, but finds it impossible to stay away. Quick hatches a plan to settle down in the quiet little town under Varner’s wing, but his shady reputation soon catches up with him and threatens everything he has worked to achieve. Based on three works by William Faulkner, and co-starring Anthony Franciosa, Angela Lansbury, and Lee Remick, The Long, Hot Summer (which also marked the first major onscreen pairing of future couple Newman and Woodward) is passionate ‘50s drama at its most incendiary.

(Dir. by Martin Ritt, 1958, USA, 115 mins., Not Rated)

Tootsie - SUNDAY, JUNE 14 AT 7:30PM

Part of Loft Staff Selects, a monthly series showcasing film favorites chosen by our amazing Loft Cinema staff! This month’s film was chosen by Ethan Cox!

In Tootsie, Michael Dorsey lands the role of a lifetime—as did the actor playing him, Dustin Hoffman. This multilayered comedy from director Sydney Pollack follows the elaborate deception of a down-on-his-luck New York actor who poses as a woman to get a soap opera gig; while “Dorothy Michaels” skyrockets to fame, Michael finds himself learning to be a better man. Given support by a stellar cast that includes Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Teri Garr, George Gaynes, Bill Murray, and, in a breakthrough, Oscar-winning performance, Jessica Lange, Tootsie is a funny, cutting, and poignant film (nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenplay) from an American moment defined by shifting social and sexual identities.

(Dir. by Sydney Pollack, 1982, USA, 116 mins., Rated PG)

Stolen Kingdom - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 AT 7:30PM

“A deep dive into the world of thrill-seeking urban explorers, black market crime, and very poor decisions, all set against the backdrop of Walt Disney World. It’s crazy, it’s dangerous, and it’s absolutely captivating.” – Screen Zealots

Stolen Kingdom is a wild, hilarious and jaw-dropping new documentary that delves into the history of mischief, scandal, and debauchery at Walt Disney World, ultimately leading to the theft of an animatronic valued at nearly half a million dollars. The film features key figures from the park’s underground exploration community, each sharing their unique stories. As the narrative unfolds, early pranks and antics are shown to have inspired more recent crimes, culminating in a strange true crime mystery. What begins as a tale of friendship and passion ends with one lingering question: Who stole Buzzy?

(Dir. by Joshua Bailey, 2025, USA, 75 mins., Not Rated)

Trainspotting - STARTS FRIDAY, JUNE 5

30th Anniversary 4K Restoration!

Newly restored for its 30th anniversary, the acclaimed cult classic from Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later) is back in theaters with a whole new Lust for Life! Funny, disturbing, tragic and deeply addictive, Trainspotting is based on the seminal best-selling novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh. Set in gritty, late 1980s Edinburgh, Scotland, it’s the story of smart, funny, sickly he**in addict Mark “Rent Boy” Renton (Ewan McGregor, giving a thrilling, breakout performance) and his so-called friends – a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate, but does he really want to “choose life?”

(Dir. by Danny Boyle, 1996, UK, 94 mins., Rated R)
