Based on fact and fleshed out with dramatic speculation, this rousing spectacle re-creates the life and times of Thracian gladiator Spartacus (Kirk Douglas), who led a bloody slave insurrection against Rome from 73 to 71 B.C. Originally released in 1960, the film was censored over several battle sequences, and a scene Crassus (Laurence Olivier) attempts to seduce his slave Antonius (Tony Curtis). Those were restored in 1991.

“Spartacus” was nominated for six Oscars, and won four, including Best Supporting Actor (Peter Ustinov). Directed by Stanley Kubrick.

197 minutes, Rated PG-13.

A wordless film experiment, a cautionary warning against encroaching technology, a prayer for us to restore our relationship with the land… “Koyaanisqatsi” is all these things and more. Conceived in the 1970s by Godfrey Reggio, a former monk whose work with the ACLU in New Mexico included a prescient media campaign around the loss of privacy, “Koyaanisqatsi” was filmed over the course of several years by cinematographer Ron Fricke, and assembled with the collaboration of soundtrack composer Philip Glass, whose churning score brings the film’s time-lapse photography to stunning life. You’ll never see the world the same way again after seeing this movie.

86 minutes, Not Rated.

2026 Oscar® Winner for Best Documentary Feature — Pasha Talankin is an unlikely hero—a beloved Russian primary school teacher, known as a mentor and prankster who offers students a safe haven in his office. After Russia invades Ukraine, Pasha’s role in the school changes dramatically as he is reluctantly drawn into Putin’s propaganda machine. Forced to promote state-sanctioned messages and horrified by the transformation of his school and community, he struggles with guilt and a sense of powerlessness, leading him to become an international whistleblower, documenting intimate and revealing footage of Putin’s regime.

Directed by David Borenstein and co-directed by Pasha Talankin, this uniquely collaborative film is as captivating and joyful as it is eye-opening and sobering. Mr. Nobody Against Putin showcases rare footage that reveals the profound impact of Putin’s regime on the lives of everyday Russians, particularly its children.

90 minutes, Not Rated.

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary this week, we’ll screen one of James Cagney’s favorite roles, when in 1942 he stepped into the shoes of legendary showman George M. Cohan and danced off with a Best Actor Oscar. “Yankee Doodle Dandy” chronicles Cohan's life as he reminisces about his early days in vaudeville to his success on Broadway while preparing to meet President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In addition to Cagney, the film won Oscars for Best Music Scoring and Best Sound Recording.

126 minutes, Not Rated.

Alfred Hitchcock’s first color film was also one of his most daring and experimental. Choreographed and performed like a stage play, “Rope” subtly hides its edits to give the appearance of one continuous shot throughout its entire runtime. The plot concerns two young men (John Dall and Farley Granger) who kill one of their old classmates to see if they can get away with it. Jimmy Stewart plays their former headmaster, who begins to sense something is off at the dinner party they throw in the deceased guest’s honor. “Rope” is a fascinating film full of subtext, and is also one of the few Hitchcock films that dares the audience to take murder seriously, rather than using it as an adventurous plot point.
