Kicking off our "Cocky White Guys" Triple Feature is a prophetic time-capsule of yuppie obsessions which may be just as relevant now. Tom Cruise will charm the pants off you as he tries to make as much moolah as he possibly can, while the haunting soundtrack of Tangerine Dream and the bodaciousness of Rebecca De Mornay will bring you to true 80s ecstasy. Special treat to anyone who wears a certain kind of sunglasses. Preceded by a bunch of killer Tom Cruise trailers! 35mm. 93 min.

This pre-John Hughes (R.I.P) teen-angst romp is the perfect medicine for this weekend's back-to-skool blues. Watch these classic cocky characters do their best to get through two of the grossest words in the dictionary: High School. Sean Penn's well-deserved Academy Award for MILK is followed closely for his "Cockiest white guy of the 80s": Jeff Spicoli! Anyone who comes dressed in their fast-food-court attire will receive a special treat! (Oh, I forget to mention the two greatest words in the dictionary: Phoebe Cates.) Preceded by upcoming M4M trailers. Preceded by a fistful of 80s rebellious teen trailers.

11:30pm - THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN (1982)

Written/Directed by Boaz Davidson

Containing: Lawrence Monoson, Diane Franklin, Steve Antin, Joe Rubbo and Kimmy Robertson (Lucy from TWIN PEAKS!) Original 35mm print. 92 min.

Producers Golan/Globus of the Canon Production Company have been responsible for some of the greatest underrated and overlooked films of the 1980s... and this is one of their best. What looks like the typical story of three horny teenage boys as they attempt to score in high school, turns out to be a gut-wrenching experience (based on the director's true stories) of sincere adolescent horrors. Don't miss this RARE 35mm screening that has the inspiration for Greg Mottola's SUPERBAD written all over it. Preceded by a barrell-full of boobie-filled trailers.

Plus, tons of trivia and giveaways!

Miss this night… and cry!
