When Harry Met Sally… (1989)
Canadian director Celine Song’s stunning debut, Past Lives, cleaned up at all the award ceremonies in 2023, meaning a hotly anticipated follow-up with this year’s Materialists. The New York-set A24 rom-com finds a matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) facing a tough choice for her own match: someone perfect on paper (Pedro Pascal) or the one who got away (Chris Evans). Catch a special sneak peek along with Song’s selection for a film that shares DNA with this new release, the classic Nora Ephron rom-com that made Meg Ryan America’s sweetheart and had us all saying “I’ll have what she’s having.” – Kat McNevinsFri., May 30 -

American Graffiti (1973)
One of the biggest myths in Hollywood is that George Lucas became a big deal with Star Wars. Well, only if you don’t count the massive critical and commercial success of his five-time Oscar-nominated ode to the teenage California car culture in which he grew up, all set to a diegetic soundtrack of the best of early Sixties American pop. Its seemingly aimless anti-structure, set across one night in Modesto, was a precursor to Slacker, and it matches Dazed and Confused for a packed cast of future stars, including Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, Suzanne Somers, Joe Spano, and Ron Howard in his first major “grownup” role after growing up onscreen in The Andy Griffith Show. But beyond the revving engines and that soundtrack, relayed to the world by legendary DJ Wolfman Jack, it’s Lucas’ most touching eulogy for the dying American dream. – Richard Whittaker Read a full review of American Graffiti.May 28 - June 1 -

Valley Girl (1983)
Way back in 1983, Nicolas Cage had only one prior film credit in Fast Times at Ridgemont High – as Nicolas Coppola. A bold statement by AFS Cinema, then, that by his first starring role he “had achieved his final form already.” His Cage-ness is undeniable in this engaging Romeo & Juliet tale of a city punk enamored with a Valley girl (Deborah Foreman of Real Genius, April Fool’s Day), but was his final form really achieved four decades ago? See if you agree. – Kat McNevins Read a full review of Valley Girl.May 26, 30-31 & June 1
