Friday, Aug. 15: King Creole (National Elvis Week)
A troubled youth's singing sets New Orleans rockin'. With a sweet girl to love him and nightclubbers cheering, it seems he will shake off his past and head for the top. But will a mobster and his man-trap moll snare him in a life of crime? Starring Elvis Presley, Carolyn Jones (from the TV show 'The Addams Family'), and Walter Matthau. A critical and commercial success, the film was released in 1958, and stars Presley in his favorite character role of his acting career.

Friday, Sept. 19: Spare Parts (PG-13) (National Hispanic Heritage Month)
Four Hispanic high school students form a robotics club. With no experience, $800, used car parts and a dream, this rag tag team goes up against the country's reigning robotics champion, MIT. The film is based on the Wired magazine article "La Vida Robot" about the true story of a group of students from a mainly Latino high school, who competed in the 2004 MATE ROV competition. Starring George Lopez, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Carlos PenaVega.

Friday, Oct. 17: Jaws (PG) (50th Anniversary)
When a massive killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, it's up to the local police chief, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down. Based on the novel by Peter Benchley, Jaws was the highest-grossing film in history until the release of Star Wars two years later in 1977. In 2001, the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss.

Friday, Nov. 21: Geronimo: An American Legend (PG-13) (National Native American Heritage Month)
The story of the Apache chief and his armed resistance to the U.S. Government's subjugation of his people. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound, but lost to Jurassic Park, and was admired by Quentin Tarantin: "I thought he [director Walter Hill] made a really great classic Western." Starring Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, and Wes Studi.

Friday, Dec. 19: A Christmas Carol (winter holidays)
Ebenezer Scrooge, a curmudgeonly, miserly businessman, has no time for sentimentality and largely views Christmas as a waste of time. However, this Christmas Eve, he will be visited by three spirits who will show him the error of his ways. Considered by many as the best film version of the classic Charles Dickens tale, this 1951 film stars Alastair Sim, Jack Warner, and Kathleen Harrison.
