North by Northwest (on 35mm)
Monday, July 12 at 7:00pm
Cary Grant stars as a Madison Avenue advertising exec who is mistaken for someone else and kidnapped by a group of international spies, headed by James Mason. After a hair-raising escape, he is framed for a murder he didn't commit and goes on the run with Eva Marie Saint. Famous for a wild plane attack and a harrowing chase across the faces of Mount Rushmore, this is quintessential Hitchcock.
Rear Window
Tuesday, July 13 at 7:00pm
When professional photographer L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries (James Stewart) is confined to a wheelchair with a broken leg, he becomes obsessed with watching the private dramas of his neighbors play out across the courtyard. When he suspects a salesman may have murdered his nagging wife, Jeffries enlists the help of his glamorous socialite girlfriend (Grace Kelly) to investigate the highly suspicious chain of events... events that ultimately lead to one of the most memorable and gripping endings in all of film history.
Strangers on a Train (on 35mm)
Wednesday, July 14 at 7:00pm
A psychotic socialite (Robert Walker) confronts a pro tennis star (Farley Granger) with a theory on how two complete strangers can get away with murder—a theory that he plans to implement. Alfred Hitchcock enlisted writers including Raymond Chandler and Ben Hecht to adapt Patricia Highsmith's debut novel, crafting one of his finest thrillers.
The Birds
Thursday, July 15 at 7:00pm
As beautiful blonde Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) rolls into Bodega Bay in pursuit of eligible bachelor Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), she is inexplicably attacked by a seagull. Suddenly thousands of birds are flocking into town, preying on schoolchildren and residents in a terrifying series of attacks. Soon Mitch and Melanie are fighting for their lives against a deadly force that can't be explained and can't be stopped in one of Hollywood's most horrific films of nature gone berserk.
