    An American Tail (1986)

    Childhood trauma-monger Don Bluth struck again with this soul-crushing tale of the immigrant struggle masquerading as a kid’s movie. I mean, check out this adorable animal story! Who are we kidding, this is one of the classic Nineties cartoons that radicalized a generation, as it deals with the manipulation of an immigrant mouse family by literal fat cats ruling the city through intimidation and voter fraud. Family-friendly fun for all. But seriously, for a tearjerker with gorgeous animation, it doesn’t get much better than this. Besides, there are worse things than having “Somewhere Out There” stuck in your head for weeks. Bring a hanky and prepare for a serious post-movie talk with your children. – Cat McCarrey

    Bad Art for Adults

    Art doesn’t have to be, like, good for it be worthwhile. Making art is a basic human ability – unhindered by talent, taste, or type. Get in on the free-for-all action with your local library, who’ll be supplying a “hodgepodge of ingredients to make the ugliest art possible.” God: What a goal! Well, better get your creative clutches ready because the absolutely awfulest art gets a prize. What’s the prize? Girl, I don’t know. You gotta make the bad art to reap the rewards! – James Scott

    Mystery Transmission 014

    Dreams don’t need a budget, but movies do. But just because you’re short of cash, there’s no reason to restrict your imagination. Thank you, Video Vortex, for celebrating those filmmakers who just had some homemade effects, a few buddies, and a video camera for committing those dreams to tape. With the Drafthouse’s Weird Wednesday going a smidge more mainstream, Video Vortex is still digging in the archives for these monthly screenings of enigmatic discoveries. This month, it’s a horror gem from New Jersey that cost less than E.T.’s Reese’s Pieces budget.: – Richard Whittaker

    Pressure (1976)

    It’s often said that filmmakers use their central characters as proxies. If that were true, then Horace Ové would have centered on Colin (Oscar James) in his landmark work of Black British cinema, Pressure. After all, like Colin, he was raised in Trinidad and moved to the UK. Instead, he centers on Colin’s brother Tony (Herbert Norville), the British-born son of West Indian immigrants struggling to find an identity as a young man rejected by the only nation he has ever known. Ové’s film – seen now as the first ever Black British feature film – was buried at the time as too controversial to release, but now returns with a 4K restoration from the BFI National Archive and the Film Foundation. – Richard Whittaker
