Raiders of the Lost Ark Egyptian Fri., August 29, 11:59pm
more dates/times
Capitol Hill
I finally got around to seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And, like that dreadful new CGI Star Wars cartoon, boy does the brand extension make you appreciate the original product. Screening tonight and Saturday, the 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark is a movie freed from the... More >>
Kirkland Outdoor Movies Kirkland Friday Night Market at Juanita Beach Fri., September 5 Kirkland
You can never go wrong adapting a story by Dick King-Smith, one of England’s finest writers for children. Drawing on just about every tough and tender rite-of-passage fairy tale worth its salt, The Water Horse (2007) stars Alex Etel as Angus, a Scottish boy who picks up a strange egg that... More >>
The Secret of Roan Inish SIFF Cinema Sat., September 6, 10:00am Queen Anne
John Sayles' 1994 family film is based on an Irish fable about a Selkie, a mythological creature that is part human and part seal. Set in a small fishing village on the blustery Donegal coast, Roan Inish focuses on two intertwining stories. Onc concerns a young girl convinced that her baby... More >>
1 Reel Film Festival: Made in Seattle SIFF Cinema Daily from Sat., August 30 until Mon., September 1 Queen Anne
Bumbershoot annually includes the 1 Reel Film Festival of shorts, which runs all three days this Labor Day weekend from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday at 2 p.m., notable among the various themed blocks of programming (“On the Edge,” “For the Ladies,” etc.), is the local package... More >>
Sprocket Society Secret Sunday Matinee Northwest Film Forum Every week Sunday from Sun., August 31 until Sun., November 23, 12:00pm Capitol Hill
Shorts and various cartoons will precede serial episodes of Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. The 1940 series stars Buster Crabbe and Dale Arden, and is certainly kid-friendly and not too scary for younger viewers. (Perhaps Olympian Michael Phelps could take the role from Crabbe, himself a...

Capitol Hill
From 1976, this iconic American New Wave renegade text is even more startling than it once was—was Hollywood ever this cerebral, this caustic, this ethically apocalyptic? That 90 percent of Network's satire has become fulfilled prophecy by now doesn't take the shine off of its broadsword.... More >>
2001: A Space Odyssey SIFF Cinema Wed., September 3, 7:30pm
more dates/times
Queen Anne
What the hell does it mean? Whatever the hell you want it to mean. Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi classic became a baby boomer touchstone and paradigmatic trip movie for all kinds of reasons, both sound and unsound, stoned and not. For me, it’s all about the astonishing 70mm... More >>
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Grand Illusion Daily from Fri., August 29 until Thu., September 4, 6:30pm
more dates/times
University District
Running Friday to Thursday this week, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) is a late-career classic from director John Ford. The age-worn faces of his stars, James Stewart and John Wayne, are appropriate for a tale looking back several decades before the closing of the Western frontier.... More >>

Twenty years after Ron Shelton's hugely likable baseball comedy came out, Kevin Costner can't catch a break with Swing Vote, Susan Sarandon has an Oscar, Tim Robbins and she have a family (plus his own steady work), and the only problem is that baseball, let alone baseball movies, hardly seem...

Destry Rides Again Grand Illusion Daily from Fri., September 5 until Thu., September 11 University District
Yes, this is the one with Marlene Dietrich as the saloon singer in the Old West (famously parodied by Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles), and it’ll work for you or not work for you for precisely that reason. Jimmy Stewart plays the lawman committed to bringing order to a lawless... More >>
Fremont Outdoor Movies Fremont Outdoor Cinema Every week Saturday from Sat., July 26 until Sat., September 13, 7:30pm Fremont
During its early moments, Juno, Jason Reitman's second feature, threatens to choke on its quotation-marks catchphrases. But after a little while, the movie calms down and finds its center — no, its heart. Indeed, once it works its way through the snark, Juno gradually evolves into a thing... More >>
Metro Classics Metro Every week Wednesday from Wed., August 6 until Wed., September 24 University District
This Wednesday night repertory series continues tonight at 6:30 and 9:15 p.m. with the mad genius of the Russian-Cuban I Am Cuba (1964). In the astonishing opening shot, Mikhail Kalatazov hurtles his camera from hotel top to swimming pool, passing down through vertiginous stairs and through... More >>
