The new year begins on January 10 with the SNL superstar, Bill Murray, at the top of his game in the US Army caper, Stripes. On Valentine’s Day, February 14, brings together George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in the romantic crime comedy Out of Sight.  Monty Python stars, John Cleese and Michael Palin come together in the March 14 presentation of A Fish Called Wanda, and the 2005 Spike Lee bank heist thriller, Inside Man, with Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster, will be screened on April 11.

 

The season will be marked on May 9 with an appropriately themed party followed by the showing of the original 1960 star-studded extravaganza, Oceans 11, starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, Angie Dickinson, and many more.
