MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON (1939) - Produced and directed by the great Frank Capra, this story of a naive and principled junior state senator who takes on Washington D.C. politics has struck a chord with every generation of American movie-goers for over seven decades. In his role as the idealistic Washington outsider, James Stewart delivers what is perhaps his greatest film performance. Jean Arthur plays the jaded and cynical senatorial assistant who finds herself reinvigorated by Stewart's integrity. Claude Rains plays the senior senator who has sold his soul to personal ambition and the powers of political corruption. As one of Hollywood's finest comments on causes worth fighting for, this movie has become nothing short of a national treasure.

All Tickets: $5.00
THE STING (1973) - This stylish and remarkably clever film is still one of the most entertaining con-men movies ever made. In Chicago during the Great Depression, small time confidence man Hooker (Robert Redford) seeks revenge against gangster Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) for the murder of his partner. Hooker teams up with Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman), "the greatest con man in the world", and the duo launches an intricate scheme to defraud Lonnegan of his ill-gotten fortune. The chemistry between Redford and Newman is delightful and the pair seem to be having as much fun as the audience. With perfect period sets and Marvin Hamlisch's arrangement of Scott Joplin's ragtime music, director George Roy Hill places a twisting plot from a screenplay by David S. Ward on top of exquisite detail. The film garnered seven Oscars in 1974, including the awards for Best Picture, Best Writing, and Best Director.
