at The Castro Movie theatre in San Francisco, CA

7:30pm - FREAKY FRIDAY –(1976) - Directed by Gary Nelson
Containing: Jodie Foster, Barbara Harris, John Astin, Dick Van Patten, Ruth Buzzi.


We kick off our Jodie Foster night with a nostalgic time about tomboys growing up too fast and when Disney films were actually funny. One morning, Annabel wakes up to find her-self switched into her mother’s body and vice-versa. As the two experience what it’s like to be in the other’s shoes, Foster proves that she truly was the greatest child actor of our time. (She made this wacky romp in the same year as playing the under-age prostitute in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver.) Be prepared for some amazing trailers from your childhood preceeding the movie. 95min. 35mm.

9:45pm - FOXES –(1980) - Directed by Adrian Lyne (FLASHDANCE)
Containing: Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, Sally Kellerman, Randy Quaid & Cherie Currie (The Runaways).

This portrait of four teenage girls growing up in the late-70s is as poignant and powerful as it was over 25 years ago. The film captures that disenchanting moment as you start drifting away from your best friends. For Jeanie (Foster) the drugs, sluffing school, rocking out to your favorite band, even the cute skater boy (Baio), it's all secondary when it comes to friendships. Problem is, things don't always work out the way they're suppose to. This really does rank up there with the most important teen films. Don't miss this special screening! Music by Giorgio Morodor, Donna Summer. 1980. Beautiful NEW 35mm print.

11:59pm - BUGSY MALONE –(1976) - Directed by Alan Parker (FAME)
Containing: Jodie Foster, Scott Baio and a whole lotta kids!

You wanna talk about obscure cinema, how about an entire cast of kids, (led by Scott Baio and Jodie Foster!) that re-imagines the early 1920s gangster story of Bugsy Malone as a down-right musical!? Each and every authentic roaring-twenties costume was specially cut-down for the child actors, while the tommy guns shot custard pies (aka Splurge guns”). If that's not bizarre enuff, all of the musical numbers were written and performed by kooky-eyed musician Paul Williams (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE). As the tagline said in 1976, “"Quite simply, there's never ever been a movie like it."” Music by Paul Williams. 93min. A Super rare 35mm print.

$10 FOR ONE OR ALL THREE FILMS!
