April 15th: 8pm Shaft 1971
Richard Roundtree cuts a startlingly new and powerful heroic figure as John Shaft, “the cat who won’t cop out, when there’s danger all about”. On his way to work one day, the Super Cool Private Eye gets a tip from the shoe-shine boy that two hoodlums are lying in wait at his office. Time to beat on a few chumps, and then find out who sent them. Shaft is a film that really transformed the “Blaxploitation” genre and, to some degree the action film genre, and created an action hero who was “hotter than Bond and cooler than Bullit”, which cemented the film’s cult status.
April 22nd: 8pm Grease (Sing Along) 1973

April 29th: 8pm The Jerk 1979
After discovering he’s not really black like the rest of his family, likable dimwit Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) runs off on a hilarious misadventure in this comedy classic that takes him from rags to riches and back to rags again. The slaphappy jerk strikes it rich, but life in the fast lane isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and, in the end, all that really matters to Johnson is his true love. Without a doubt, this comedy classic is Steve Martin at his very best.
May 13th: 8pm Swing Time 1936
In this classic musical, Fred Astaire plays Lucky, a gambler who misses his wedding to a young socialite and must come up with $25,000 for another chance with her. But after meeting lovely dance instructor Penny (Ginger Rogers), he forgets about his old flame. Often cited as the best of the 10 Astaire and Rogers movies, Time Magazine named it one of its All-Time 100 Movies.
May 20th: 8pm Enter the Dragon 1973
Shot on location in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee’s final movie is now a certifiable martial arts classic. Lee plays a monk (also named Lee) who enters a brutal championship tournament to which only the best are invited. His athletic prowess lands him there, but he’s also serving as a spy for the British government — and he’s out to prove that the contest’s manager, Han, is also a player in the drug trade. Will Lee be the last man standing? Enter the Dragon is Bruce Lee’s greatest film, held up as one of the greatest martial arts films ever made.
