Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)
Michael Patrick Jann (The State, Reno 911!) quietly dropped his directorial debut in 1999, and it’s become something of a cult classic. With a mockumentary style, this black comedy about beauty pageants lampoons Midwestern life and the deadly lengths contestants will go to for the crown. Featuring Kirsten Dunst perfecting her Minnesotan accent later seen in Fargo season 2, Kirstie Alley and Denise Richards as a delightfully diabolical mom and daughter, and a glowing Amy Adams in her film debut – the whole thing is pitch perfect. For their Drafthouse series Cheesy Movie Night, Antonelli’s pros will intro the film and bring five artisan cheeses complemented by pickled veggies, chocolates, preserves, and cured meat. – Kat McNevins Read a full review of Drop Dead Gorgeous.May 9 & 13 -

Hereditary (2018)
Ari Aster’s directorial debut set off a reinvigoration of arthouse horror and catapulted A24 to fame as the most relevant production company of the last decade. It also gave me an entirely sleepless night upon first viewing. Toni Collette’s performance as both a terrifying and deeply sympathetic grieving mother steals the show, but Milly Shapiro and Alex Wolff as her creepy children anchor the real horror of this family drama-turned-supernatural nightmare. The sharp, cacophonous saxophone score will linger in your ear, and one chilling scene will have you checking the corners of your ceiling long after the film ends. A true modern horror classic, it deserves to be seen in the theatre for the collective shock it elicits from first-time viewers. – Lina Fisher Read a full review of Hereditary.May 9-14
