Federico Fellini’s epic 1980 fantasia is a sexy, surreal tour de force akin to a Hollywood musical in its arch artifice. Marcello Mastroianni plays Federico Fellini’s alter ego Snàporaz, who finds himself initiated into a phantasmagoric world, structured as an array of psychosexual set pieces, where women — or an idea of women — have taken power.

September 7 & 10
A brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal spend the day in detention, forced to ponder the question, “Who do we think we are?” posited by their blowhard principal. United in their contempt for him, they begin to reveal what landed them there in the first place, as well as their uneasiness about themselves and the future. This quintessential Brat Pack movie set a high standard for the teen coming-of-age genre and remains one of John Hughes’ most beloved films.
Part of AFI Life Achievement Award: Francis Ford Coppola
Sept. 5 & 9
MEGALOPOLIS is an introspective, mesmerizing, bombastic and utterly insane work from a filmmaker who has dedicated himself to making art on his own unapologetic terms.
For over 40 years, Francis Ford Coppola dreamed of making a film inspired by Roman statesman Catiline’s conspiracy to overthrow a pair of consuls and seize control of the Roman Republic in 63 BC. The film ultimately languished in development hell until the success of Coppola’s winemaking business allowed him to produce the film as he envisioned. MEGALOPOLIS is an introspective, mesmerizing, bombastic and utterly insane work from a filmmaker who has dedicated himself to making art on his own unapologetic terms.

“You're gonna need a bigger boat.” Steven Spielberg’s monster hit, adapted from the Peter Benchley bestseller, did not merely set box office records; it reshaped the fundamentals of the movie world. Though it spawned several sequels and countless rip-offs, Spielberg’s original remains as deliciously unsettling today as it was in the summer of 1975.
