Bringing Up BabyPresented by The Colonial Theatre and The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre June 2, 2013 “The definitive screwball comedy and one of the funniest films ever made. Cary Grant gives his best comic performance as a befuddled, bespectacled anthropologist who becomes mixed up with daffy, but determined heiress Katharine Hepburn. Together, they tear apart the Connecticut countryside searching for leopards, pet terriers, and an intercostal clavicle, all the while being mistaken for the notorious Leopard Gang, big game hunters from Brazil.

Carnival of SoulsPresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre August 16, 2013 50th Anniversary screening on 35mm! Here we have a genuine low-budget cult oddity, a classic of the “other-worldly” and one which has become increasingly well-respected over the years.
The plot is a simple one: a church organist narrowly escapes drowning in an auto accident, only to find herself in a strange limbo, pursued by an odd phantom-like character and plagued by a series of weird dreams (or are they?) in which her soul hovers between reality and the supernatural.... | The Colonial Theatre | 08/16/13 | Phoenixville |

GrizzlyPresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre June 7, 2013 Although monster movies had been around since the dawn of film, they were mostly used to fill the bottom half of a double feature or to keep drive-ins stocked with a schlock. It wasn’t until a young director named Steven Spielberg figured out that you could take a B-movie template and use it to make an A-level production. All you needed was a cast of amazing actors, a screenwriter with a background in improv comedy, a memorable score, brilliant editing, a large budget, and an ability... | The Colonial Theatre | 06/07/13 | Phoenixville |

Filmed in Italy, this super-epic costars Jacques Sernas as Paris of Troy, who sails to Sparta to secure a peace treaty between the two powerful Greek city-states. When he falls in love with Helen, Queen of Sparta, Paris loses all sense of diplomacy.

JawsPresented by The Colonial Theatre and The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre June 15, 2013 There are very few films in the history of cinema that can be considered perfect. Jaws (1975) is, without a doubt, one of them. Plagued with production problems of all sorts, Jaws emerged as the first summer blockbuster and changed movies forever. This is a true classic of the silver screen and one of the most quotable movies of all time. Get to the theater early because there is a good chance “we’re going to need a bigger boat.” (Bob Trate)

They flub their lines, forget their props, miss their cues, and somehow survive each others' flaws, foibles, theatrics, and love triangles. From award-winning playwright Michael Frayn, Noises Off is a wickedly funny revelation of what can happen on the other side of the curtain. | People's Light and Theatre Company | 07/10/13-

The Blob (1988)Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre July 5, 2013 “This remake of the 1958 camp classic preserves the tongue-in-cheek flavor of the original, yet uses superb special effects to bring a little more flare to the man-eating blob. As opposed to the slow, oozing menace of the first film, the blob in this film is one mean protoplasm capable of great strength, speed, and jolts of electricity.

The story is pretty much hooey with a dollop of tropical glamour on top, but anyway, marvelously self-serving. The beauteous Lamour is in love with barrel-chested Hall, whose hot temper lands him in hot water with corrupt island governor Massey.

The UninvitedPresented by The Colonial Theatre and The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre June 23, 2013 “Set in a distinctly Hollywoodian but nevertheless persuasive Cornwall, this is an impressive supernatural thriller, not unlike Rebecca in its use of an eerily atmospheric house and a sense of morbid brooding about the troubled past. Milland and Hussey are the siblings who buy the old house, only to find it haunted and exerting a sinister influence over the previous owner’s granddaughter (Russell).

Valley GirlPresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre July 19, 2013 Valley Girl is many things. It’s both an electrifying love story and on of the best 80s time capsules. Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman have so much hot chemistry, I think it blew up my Beta player. Coolidge brilliantly explores social pressure and how all-consuming first loves can be.
