BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

AGFA MYSTERY MOVIE (????)From out of the vaults of the American Genre Film Archive comes a 35mm print of one of the wildest, most colorful, over the top spectacles of Kung Fu wizardry ever created. This universe-ending epic delivers a non-stop extravaganza of 1980’s effects and wire-fu madness. Wrap your brain in a diaper, tear off your eyelids and get ready for an impossible mix of lazer blasts, ancient Eastern mysticism, flying puppet dragon-lions, exploding henchman, flying spinning chainsaw knives, a Dragon-Tumor duo that features a midget-kid melting opponents with green acid from his tumor, and more lazers all set to a killer analog synth score. The ultimate in fantasy kung fu insanity!

FUNimation: DATE A LIVE (2013)In a world devastated by mysterious Spatial Quakes, Shidoh isn’t what you’d expect in a hero. He’s an average Joe who gets bossed around by his adorable little sister and mocked by the popular girls at his school. You’d definitely pick him last for dodge ball, but when it comes to saving the planet from imminent destruction, Shidoh’s got one thing going for him: intergalactic hotties can’t keep their hands off him!

Video Vortex: DEMONWARP (1988)George Kennedy is enjoying a game of Trivial Pursuit when Bigfoot breaks into his house and kills his daughter. Then a group of Bigfoot trackers (including Billy Jacoby from JUST ONE OF THE GUYS) set up shop in the same cabin. Sex! Practical jokes! Bigfoot wearing an Axl Rose wig! George Kennedy calls Bigfoot a “wooly bastard” and a “six-foot fleabag,” but that doesn’t stop the mythical beastoid from messing around with dynamite and REMOVING PEOPLE’S HEADS.

KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (1988, 35mm)A circus tent-shaped meteor crashlands in the forest, releasing an army of neon-colored, face-painted intergalactic creatures who mummify humans in cotton candy cocoons and slurp their sweetened blood through crazy straws. These diabolical bozos mow through the populace using only the most entertaining means: invisible cars, carnivorous shadow puppets, popcorn blasters, decapitating boxing matches, hand-to-spinal-cord ventriloquism and much, much more.

Benson Movie Interruption: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN 2 (2012)What do you get when you combine vampires, werewolves, a baby, and inappropriate teen love? You get the end of the TWILIGHT saga! Come enjoy all the head lopping sparkly fun with some of the best comics around!

The Movie Interruption is a live comedy event that has been delighting audience across the country. Created by Doug Benson (Super High Me, Doug Loves Movies), The Movie Interruption will appeal to both comedy fans and movie lovers alike!

ENTER THE DRAGON (1973)Staff pick of Tyisha! Robert Clouse directs Lee in what would sadly be his last completed feature film role before his untimely and mysterious death in 1973. The result is a spectre of the cinema, a towering, wholly breathtaking persona who resonates onscreen with vibrancy and vitality, supported by co-stars John Saxon (Roper) and Jim Kelly (Williams). Lee goes undercover by way of an invitation to a martial arts tournament on a secluded island, hosted by an unsavory, suspected crime boss. As Lee discovers an underbelly of corruption and prostitution, his cover is blown and two fellow tournament competitors (Roper and Williams) must fight not for sport, but instead for survival.

LET ME OUT (1983)Staff pick of Carlos! Everyone knows the iconic image of Tony Montana, whether he is brandishing his “little friend” or smeared over with cocaine. It is easy to forget that there is a major movie here that lives up to the hype, with Oliver Stone in top form as screenwriter and director Brian De Palma painting a bloody portrait like no other. Al Pacino stars as the Cuban exile who quickly moves up the ranks of a drug cartel, displacing its leader while also seducing his woman. The wealth and power come with costs, and soon Tony finds those he cared for most to be lost to him. Things get nastier as he tries to stay at the top.

ULTIMATE ‘90S SING-ALONG DANCE PARTYThis monthly Sing-Along Dance Party features a new playlist put together by our Action Pack VJs every month, and each night we’ll jump all over the best music videos of the ‘90s for singing along with, jumping around to, and awkwardly slow dancing next to your grade school crush to.

From the Fresh Prince to TLC, with plenty of Alanis and Oasis mixed in, this is how we do it in our semi-charmed kind of life as we’re livin’ la vida loca. So come on!.

TOTALLY ‘80S SING-ALONG DANCE PARTY The single greatest gift the 1980s gave the world is what we’re here to celebrate with the Totally ‘80s Sing-Along Dance Party – the music video – and seeing them on the movie screen with a thumping digital movie theater sound system blasting the music throughout the theater is one of the best experiences you can have in life.

While most nights when you come to the Alamo Drafthouse they ask you to be quiet during the movie. You would probably get in trouble if you stood up and started dancing like a crazy person right in front of the screen. But at Sing-Along Dance Parties we transform our auditoriums into the greatest dance club in your neighborhood, complete with fully VJed sets of the greatest music videos ever made plus free props included with your ticket that make the party come to life.

AGFA MYSTERY MOVIE

BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE (1989)Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (that other guy) are seniors on the verge of failing history. Their only hope is to deliver an impressive final report on how people from the past would view the world today. Their success is also the only hope for the citizens of the future, who rely on the music of Bill and Ted’s band Wyld Stallyns to fuel their idyllic society. That’s why Rufus (George Carlin) is sent back in time to help the guys pass history and keep the band together. Using Rufus’ phone booth time machine, the boys assemble a dream team of historical figures to speak at their presentation.

BLUES BROTHERS (1980)A free-wheeling, drug-fueled smash-’em-up of music, comedy and action, this is a movie that spits at boundaries and labels. It’s refuses to be caged and smashes through expectations with every scene change. John Belushi and Dan Akroyd star as Jake and Elwood Blues, two brothers on a “mission from God” to save their old Catholic orphanage the only way they know how: by putting their old band back together performing a charity gig. Along the way, they dodge lawmen of every kind, neo-Nazis, and crazy ex-girlfriends.

BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID (1969)Despite only co-starring in two films together, it’s pretty easy to think of Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a deeply entrenched pair. The two established in a short time the type of chemistry some franchise co-stars spend sequels trying to cultivate. As a pair of outlaws, dedicated to each other as they were their desire for riches, Newman and Redford perfectly compliment each other. Amiable nice guys who just happen to wield guns, the two are the nicest criminals you could ever hope to find yourself in a standoff with.

Cinema Cocktails: DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS (1970)Beaumont sur Mer is a tranquil little town along the French Mediterranean coast where Michael Caine’s con man Lawrence preys on the kindness of women to afford himself quite the elaborate lifestyle. That is until small-time grifter Freddie (Steve Martin) rolls through the place and forces Lawrence to share the secrets of his high-class ways. What follows is an out-con the con back and forth that’s both intelligent and absolutely idiotic at the same time.

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982)We all know the story: Elliot, a lonely kid living in suburban California, who’s room is chock full of the toys he plays with to substitute his lack of friends, comes across a shy Alien in his backyard. At first both are scared, but soon Elliot realizes the creature’s gentle nature and befriends him. Quickly the two develop a strong bond of friendship and Elliot decides to hide the alien, who he calls E.T., from his mother.

One of the most ingenious, imaginative, heartfelt, unpretentious science-fiction films ever made, E.T. makes the bold choice telling a direct story in a simple way.

INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1984)When Indy’s father goes mysteriously missing, a rich art collector puts our whip-snapping, fedora-wearing hero on the case. Following in his father’s footsteps, Indy reveals a sinister plot and must save his father from a Nazi kidnapping while avoiding the tempestuous allure of an extremely blue-eyed, blond-haired lady.

MY LITTLE CHICKADEE (1940)Mae West is Flowerbelle Lee, a self-reliant woman who is abducted by the mysterious Masked Bandit during a stagecoach holdup. After an illicit night spent with the bandit, Flowerbelle is run out of town and sent to Greasewood City where she can become “married and respectable.” She meets flimflam man Cuthbert J. Twillie (Fields) on the train and immediately falls in love with his money. Many elaborate set pieces and plot twists later, Flowerbelle is knee deep in men and Twillie’s on the gallows. “I’d like to see Paris before I die,” he laments. “Philadelphia will do!”

Girlie Night: ROMY AND MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION QUOTE-ALONG (1997)To show these fabulous ladies the appreciation they deserve, Girlie Night is partnering up with the Action Pack to give you the full quote-along experience, complete with props like Gummi Bears (for your diet) and subtitles for all of your favorite lines. Make sure to wear your shiniest outfit, and come ready to bust out those interpretive dancing skills as we cheer on a duo so dynamic, they managed to take their own yearbook photo together.

TOMMY BOY QUOTE-ALONG (1995)There have been other comedies since this movie was first released, but none of them have managed to oust the words of Tommy Callahan Jr., adorably idiotic man child, from the top of my vocabulary. And then there’s the deliciously deadpan wit of David Spade, who plays Richard, Tommy’s coworker and reluctant babysitter. If mockery is a science, then Richard’s jibes at Tommy (“Did I catch a niner in there? Were you calling from a walkie talkie?”) should have earned him the Nobel Prize.

Together, Spade and Farley made up one of the most hilarious duos in the history of cinema, and we’ll celebrate them at this special Action Pack screening by quoting along with all of our favorite lines

WAYNE’S WORLD QUOTE-ALONG (1992)You’ll laugh, you’ll cry... you’ll hurl. You know the story -- two slacker friends have a local cable access show that gets picked up for professional broadcast and things get awesome....NOT! Wayne falls for the majorly babelicious bass-playing Tia Carrere, while the slimy Rob Lowe tries to steal her away. Meanwhile, Garth sha-wings his way into the arms of a truly Foxy Lady, and then there are all sorts of different endings!
