What's Up, Doc?

Peter Bogdanovich, 1972
G; 94 minutes

“A homage to Hollywood screwball comedy that by and large gets its pace and cartoon/slapstick timings right.” —Times Out

On a trip to San Francisco to compete for a music grant, a young researcher (Ryan O’Neal) meets a zany college dropout (Barbra Streisand). Their unpredictable and wacky relationship adds to the antics of the film when four identical plaid bags with valuable contents go missing.

The Philadelphia Story

George Cukor, 1940
NR; 112 minutes

“Miss Hepburn has accomplished the thing she set out to do with both movie and stage play. She has made the showmen who labeled her box-office poison eat their words and rue the day they were ever so uncomplimentary.” —Katherine Howard, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Sabrina

Billy Wilder, 1954
PG; 113 minutes

“It's a Cinderella story that gets turned on its head, a satire about breaking down class and emotional barriers, and a confrontation between New World callousness and Old World humanity.” —Derek Adams, Time Out

Parasite

Bong Joon Ho, 2019
R; Korean with English subtitles; 132 minutes

Clue

Jonathan Lynn, 1985
PG; 94 minutes

“Like a well-oiled machine, Clue uses slapstick and situational humor to tell a rather pointed story.” —Wesley Lovell, Cinema Sight

The Addams Family

Barry Sonnenfeld, 1991
PG-13; 105 minutes

“More than merely a sequel of the TV series, the film is a compendium of paterfamilias Charles Addams's macabre drawings, a resurrection of the cartoonist's body of work. For family friends, it would seem a viewing is de rigueur mortis.” —Rita Kempley, The Washington Post
