Friday Night at The Egyptian Theater - Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING with Actor Joe Turkel in person

THE SHINING, 1980, Warner Bros., 142 min. Dir. Stanley Kubrick. A brilliant exercise in pure supernatural terror, THE SHINING stars Jack Nicholson as a frustrated writer who takes the job of winter caretaker (along with wife Shelley Duvall and son Danny Lloyd) at an enormous mountain hotel, in the hope that snow and solitude will bring him peace of mind. He finds just the opposite, however, as the hotel’s horrific past quickly overtakes him in this soul-chilling adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. Discussion following with Joe Turkel

Tonight! at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica - Stanley Kubricks 'Dr. Strangelove'

Tonight @ 7:30P

New 35mm Print! New Restoration!

DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB, Berserk military honcho Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) sends off the code to Strategic Air Command bombers to start WWIII. Against a gallery of unforgettable comic grotesques, including Hayden’s fluoride-hating general and George C. Scott’s oversexed Commie killer, Peter Sellers stands out in arguably his greatest role(s) – as the befuddled U.S. president, the veddy British commander Mandrake and the maniacal Dr. Strangelove. (Interestingly, Sellers was supposed to play a fourth role – Slim Pickens’ B-52 pilot – before illness forced him to drop out!)

1964, Sony Repertory, 93 min. Dir. Stanley Kubrick.
