All About Eve (1950)
Feb 26th
Much-loved, lengthy, acerbic drama of theatre life about a young actress who insinuates her way into Broadway stage star’s life. Wit and sarcasm reign supreme (e.g., “Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night”) and George Sanders is perfect as Addison De Witt – a cynical, egotistical columnist/critic. The literate film features Davis as aging, bitchy accomplished star Margo Channing who takes the seemingly-naive and innocent fan Eve (Baxter) under her wing. More >
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Feb 26th
Arguably Flynn’s greatest role, this is the classic, swashbuckling, adventure, costume epic/spectacle about the infamous rebel outlaw and his band of merry men from Sherwood Forest who “robbed from the rich and gave to the poor.” The charming Robin Hood (Flynn) fights for justice against the evil Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Rathbone), the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham (Cooper), and the scheming Prince John (Rains), while striving to win the hand of the beautiful Maid Marian (de Havilland) – and to save the English throne for King Richard (Hunter).

Fight Club (1999) full online
Feb 26th
In this darkly comic drama, Edward Norton stars as a depressed young man (named in the credits only as “Narrator”) who has become a small cog in the world of big business. He doesn’t like his work and gets no sense of reward from it, attempting instead to drown his sorrows by putting together the “perfect” apartment. He can’t sleep and feels alienated from the world at large; he’s become so desperate to relate to others that he’s taken to visiting support groups for patients with terminal diseases so that he’ll have people to talk to. One day on a business flight, he discovers Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charming iconoclast who sells soap. More >

The Desert Fox (1951)
Feb 24th
The Desert Fox is a superb filmed biography of German general Erwin Rommel, concentrating on the period between his retreat from North Africa and his government-decreed death. A brilliant tactician, Rommel earns the respect not only of his own men but of the enemy. Unfortunately, Adolph Hitler (Luther Adler), laboring under the delusion that he too is a military genius, demands more of Rommel than he’s able to provide. Ordered to stand his ground in Africa to the last man, Rommel realizes that it’s more intelligent in the long run to retreat; this incurs Hitler’s wrath, but Rommel is a war hero, and as such is virtually “untouchable”.
