CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) in 3-D (3-D glasses will be distributed to our audience!) - One of the greatest of all classic monster movies! One of the greatest of movie monsters: the Gill Man! David Reed and Kay Lawrence (Richard Carlson and Julie Adams) join a scientific expedition into the Amazon's "Black Lagoon" to investigate an alleged missing link between man and fish... Pioneering underwater photography, with cinematographer Charles Welbourne getting away from the standard static camera and using a portable moving camera that follows the swimmers wonderfully. Even after all these years, the artistic use of shadows and light beneath the waters still mesmerizes. [more...]

REAR WINDOW (1954) - Wheelchair-bound photographer Jeff Jeffries (James Stewart) passes the time recuperating from a broken leg by peeking through binoculars into the windows of his Greenwich Village apartment neighbors... His girlfriend, Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly), isn't so sure he should be spying. But then Jeff witnesses a murder - or has he? The many nuances of Stewart's character, the dozen other denizens of the apartment complex, and his opposites-attract love affair with Kelly make Rear Window much more than a simple tale of voyeurism. This is one of Alfred Hitchcock's best films, and arguably one of the best films ever! [more...]
