The Five Pennies (1959) 2hrs. PG

This semi-biographical musical film of the brilliant cornet player and band leader Red Nichols stars Danny Kaye, supported by a great cast, including Louis Armstrong. A really enjoyable film filled with the irresistible sound of Dixieland Jazz.

National Velvet (1944) 2hrs. G

Young Velvet Brown (Elizabeth Taylor) is determined to train a wild horse to race for England’s Grand National Sweepstakes. Mi Taylor (Mickey Rooney) uses his contacts to get her clearance to enter the race. Much drama ensues. This is the film that really catapulted the 12 year old Elizabeth Taylor
to stardom.

The Misfits (1961) 2 hrs. PG

Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift in this Arthur Miller scripted film set in early sixties Nevada. This was both Clark Gable and Marilyn’s final film appearance, with as much drama off camera as on. Marilyn shows what an incredible actor she really was, with an honest and gutsy performance that will surprise you in this edgy film.

Silent Antics 90 mins. PG

An evening of film from the Silent Era, filled with the crazy antics of Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and more. Come and see the famous scenes and stunts from the early days of movie making, where they definitely put safety LAST!
