11:59pm - FRIDAY THE 13TH 4: THE FINAL CHAPTER
Directed by Josehp Zito
Containing: Kimberely Beck, Corey Feldman, Crispin Glover & Ted White as Jason.

This supposed final chapter not only is the goriest film of the series, it's also the best. A 13 year old (Feldman) takes on Jason Voorhees while Crispin Glover does one of the greatest solo dance routines ever filmed. Special effects wizard Tom Savini returned to create the distubingly creative murders and finally, we get to see Jason's disfigured face! What more can you ask for? How about a reel of trailers preceding the film, all of which have Crispin in them at some point. 1984. 90min. 35mm..

Directed by Tim Hunter
Containing: Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye, Daniel Roebuck, Dennis Hopper.

A group of suburban teenagers find one of their friends dead on the side of the river.

3:00pm - Twister (not the tornado one)–
Directed by Michael Almereyda Containing: Harry Dean Stanton, Suzy Amis, Crispin Glover, Dylan McDermott.

An isolated family on a Kansas farm struggle to keep their sanity as they wait for a descending storm. Crispin perfects the oddball brother as he designs his own music downstairs and deals with his first relationship with a girl. This strange and honest family portrait will knock your socks off. As will the cameo by William S. Burroughs. Plus the closing credits song is composed entirely by Crispin. 1989, 93min. 35mm.

The Orkly Kid – Directed by Trent Harris Containing: Crispin Glover, Elizabeth Daily

This half hour short film was made just before Back To The Future and is actually the grand finale of it’s own trilogy: The Beaver Trilogy. Salt Lake City filmmaker Trent Harris cast Crispin to re-enact a documentary he made a few years prior about an Olivia Newton-John impersonator who designs a talent show in his small town of Idaho, hoping to showcase his disco-diva performance. Extremely Rare 16mm screening! (Not on DVD) 1984. 34min. 16mm.

Rubin & Ed (1991)
Directed by Trent Harris Containing: Crispin Glover, Howard Hesseman, Karen Black.

Crispin wanders across the Utah desert wearing bell-bottoms & 6 inch platform shoes, hoping to find the perfect place to bury his dead cat which he is carrying around in a cooler filled with ice. Did I mention his sidekick is Howard Hesseman from Head of the Class and WKRP in Cincinnati? Pure cult classic. And of course this is an extremely Rare 35mm screening! (Not on DVD). 82min. 35mm.

11:30am - Back To The Future –(1985)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Containing: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover.

George McFly is one of the all time greatest characters from the 1980s. And looking back on this film, which is over 20 years old, Crispin is even more convincing now when you realize that he is actually the main character of the film! Bring out your kids, grandmas, little brothers and older sisters to one of the greatest films ever made... from the 1980s! 111min. 35mm.

plays with...


1:40pm - Bartleby – (2001)
Directed by Jonathan Parker. Containing: David Paymer, Crispin Glover, Joe Piscopo, Seymour Cassel.

Dead-end jobs are brought to life by Crispin’s wonderful performance in this dead-on deconstruction of desk-jobs. Based on Herman Melville's existential short story, Bartleby questions society with the simple response, “I would prefer not to.” This overlooked gem is a perfect counterpiece to Willard, Crispin's r.a.t. infested remake proving that this decade is definitely Crispin's return., 83min. 35mm.

plays with...

3:15pm - Willard –(2003) Directed by Glen Morgan
Containing: Crispin Glover, R. Lee Ermey, Laura Elena Harring (of Mulholland Drive)

Crispin takes the lead role in this horrifying remake about a man who after being fired by his cruel boss, finds revenge by calling upon his rodent friends, especially one big, fat rat, Ben. Crispin sheds real tears in this frighteningly disturbing flick. Plus he sings the closing credits song, “Ben”, originally written and performed by Michael Jackson! 100min. 35mm widescreen. ‘
