  CineNoche: Dracula (1931)

  Cine Las Americas presents two rare stateside screenings of this Spanish-language version of Bram Stoker's enduring vampire story, which was shot at the same time and on the same sets as Tod Browning's more famous Dracula starring Bela Lugosi, but at night and with a different cast and crew for a Spanish-speaking audience. Interestingly, this one didn't have conform to Hays Code restrictions. Read a full review of Dracula.

  The Sixth Sense (1999)

  If you, like me, have a bald dad, you probably know his favorite actor. He’ll either be a Jason Statham stan or a Bruce Willis boy – or, if you’re very lucky like me, he’ll love both these baldies. My dad was rarely as excited to show me a movie as he was when putting on a Willis feature. The Sixth Sense ranks high on both the Dad-Recommendation scale and the Actual Good Movie scale. This M. Night Shyamalan film is more than just its iconic “twist,” with powerful performances from its lead Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette as the mother to this mini medium. Worth every second of its watch time, especially if your dad is sitting next to you talking about how scary he found the movie on his first watch. – James Scott Read a full review of The Sixth Sense.

  The Craft (1996)

  Do you love witchcraft? Wigs? Fairuza Balk? Have I got the sleepover staple for you… The Craft hit the general populace in 1996 and has yet to stop influencing young women to be the weirdos since then. Blue Starlite screens the classic in the lead-up to Halloween, so rock a smeared black under-eye, get a total goth makeover, and bring a pretty loose understanding of Wicca for this Nineties girl-bully nightmare. Justice for Nancy! – James Scott Read a full review of The Craft.

  We Are Fugazi From Washington D.C. (2023)

  “The danger of documentaries is always: archive, archive, talking head.” That’s what Joe Gross – the Austin journalist who literally wrote the book on post-hardcore innovators Fugazi – told the Chronicle he and co-directors Jeff Krulik (Heavy Metal Parking Lot) and Joseph Pattisall (The Legend of Cool “Disco” Dan) were going to avoid when they assembled their video history of the capitol city’s emo revolutionaries. It’s not a concert movie, either. It’s a patchwork of footage captured by the band’s most devoted fans, it’s all kill(tak)er, no filler, just like the post-screening insights provided by Gross. – Richard Whittaker
