LYNCH

THE TOM CRUISE MARATHON (35mm x 5)

For forty-three years the world was been blessed with a man.
You see, this man isnt especially tall, and he isnt especially
strong, but he possessed the ability to run faster than any living
creature, and he had the ability to bring a mighty bear to its
knees with the simplest of smiles. Tis man impressed the world
by singing Bob Seger in his underpants and playing volleyball
with his friends. Tis man has become one of the greatest action
heroes to have ever lived, and he did so without fring a gun
or throwing a punch for the duration of his ascension to the
action hero throne. Tis man is Tom Cruise. Tis show is the
ultimate fve-mystery-movie celebration of the swiftest man in
Hollywood.

ERASERHEAD (1977, 35mm)
David Lynch once described his stunning debut feature simply
as a dream of dark and troubling things, but the unclassifable
ERASERHEAD is so much more: an expressionistic headtrip,
a Grand Guignol nightmare, a pitch-black comedy of manners,
and a deeply personal allegory about the (post-) nuclear family.
Amidst a monochromatic wasteland teeming with smoke and
shadows, Jack Nances wire-haired wage slave Henry struggles to
navigate the horrors of mutant ofspring, sinister hallucinations
and, most terrifying of all, his new in-laws.
THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980, 35mm)
Based upon the life of Joseph Merrick, THE ELEPHANT
MAN is a moving portrait of one misshapen mans struggle to
fnd and maintain his dignity amidst the horrors and hardships
of 19th-century London. David Lynch implicates us all in the
voyeurism of the Victorian freak show as we watch the disfg-
ured Merrick (John Hurt) progress from stinking slum to high
society. His benefactor, Dr Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins)
believes he is working to restore his patients dignity, but Lynch
undercuts his patronage, and our sentimental response, by
pitilessly skewering the self-deception at the heart of supposedly
civilised behaviour.
DUNE (1984, 35mm)
David Lynchs feature flm take on Frank Herberts sprawling
sci-f saga is about a prophesied messiah (Kyle MacLachlan)
coming to his destiny in a galactic feudal society that runs on
spice. Despite bombing at the box ofce and receiving scath-
ing criticism upon its release, it remains one of the most unique
and visually exciting sci-f flms of the 1980s, displaying Lynchs
vast, vivid imagination and directorial prowess in handling such
an epic project. Condensed down to a lean 137 minutes, the
plot of DUNE is as murky as the air during a desert sandstorm,
especially for those unfamiliar with the books. But it still has
more than enough Lynchian panache to be worth absorbing.
Plus, its got Sting running around crazy-haired and mostly
naked and a soundtrack by Toto!
BLUE VELVET (1986, 35mm)
David Lynch cemented his reputation as an uncompromising
visionary with BLUE VELVET, one of the most controversial
flms of the 1980s, burrowing beneath the surface of idyllic
suburban America to reveal a sinister underworld of sex and
violence. After stumbling upon a severed human ear, a young
college student (Kyle MacLachlan) becomes obsessed with

INTERACTIVE SCREENINGS AND CINEMATIC EVENTS
MASTER PANCAKE
AUSTINS FAVORITE MOVIE MOCKING MAESTROS
investigating its origins and gets entangled with a nightclub
chanteuse (Isabella Rossellini) and her psychopathic lover
(Dennis Hopper). A masterfully eerie, depraved psychosexual
nightmare and one of the greatest flms of the 1980s.
WILD AT HEART (1990, 35mm)
David Lynch throws Southern Gothic melodrama, Te Wizard
of Oz, surreal-kinky violence, and Elvis into a brewing cauldron
for this nightmarish soap opera. Based on the pulp novel by
author Barry Giford, WILD AT HEART follows outlaw lovers
Sailor (Nic Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern) as they go on the run
through a menacing Deep South populated by the usual stable
of unsettling Lynchian weirdos. Te director received the Palme
dOr amid the most violent chorus of boos and hisses to be
heard in a decade (Dave Kehr).
DAVID LYNCH MYSTERY PROGRAM
Secrets and mysteries provide a beautiful corridor where you can
foat out. Te corridor expands and many, many wonderful things
can happen. I love the process of going into mystery. Te more
unknowable the mystery, the more beautiful it is. - David Lynch
TWIN PEAKS PILOT (1990, 35mm)
When homecoming queen Laura Palmer is found brutally mur-
dered and wrapped in plastic, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper
and Sherif Harry S. Truman soon discover that in the town of
Twin Peaks no one is innocent and nothing is what it seems.
And theres more Lynch to come in August including the rest of
his features, the complete Twin Peaks marathon, two more Mys-
tery programs, and an 8 flm David Lynch Infuences series!
EL TOPO (1970, 35mm)
Te bearded, leather-clad gunfghter El Topo (Jodorowsky
himself ) and his young son (Brontis Jodorowsky) ride through
the desert and into a hamlet of bloodily decimated people and
animals. From then on, its a winding, spiraling road of evil
bandits, mystical foes and whip-cracking dykes, spiked with in-
delible, inexplicable imagery. A veritable blur of ridiculous and
sublime (and ridiculous-sublime) moments that defy ordinary
readings while inviting (demanding, really) audience involve-
ment via active interpretation.
THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (1973, 35mm)
Alejandro Jodorowsky followed up his intense cult hit EL
TOPO with this even more intense meditation on planetary
relations, black ritual, and general grotesqueries. THE HOLY
MOUNTAIN follows a Christlike protagonist as he joins
a footless, handless dwarf to perform in a village for tourist
dollars. Te man then leaves town, gets himself involved with
an Alchemist who can turn excrement into gold, and fnally
launches into a series of astrological visions that result in a
mind-numbing tornado of satirical surrealism. Jodorowsky is a
visionary artist in the truest sense, and THE HOLY MOUN-
TAIN is his most expressive and honest work.

PIRANHA (1978, 35mm)
We should all be thankful for Stevie Spielberg. If it wasnt for
him, there would be no JAWS. And if it wasnt for JAWS, there
would be no PIRANHA. And if theres no PIRANHA, whats
the point? Half JAWS spoof and half trash-gore powerhouse,
Joe Dantes PIRANHA holds the key to the most bitchin
summer of your life.
RUNAWAY NIGHTMARE (1982, 35mm)
DIRECTOR MIKE CARTEL IN PERSON! NEVER BE-
FORE SCREENED IN 35MM! Call it the lifes work of a ded-
icated lunatic. Call it a supernatural porno without the porn.
Or, call it the weirdest horror obscurity to ever hit the Terror
Tuesday screen. Tis is the bafing D.I.Y. action-horror hybrid
that Doris Wishman might have made if she had interned on
the set of Russ Meyers FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!
PHANTOM OF THE MALL: ERICS REVENGE
(1989, 35mm)
In case you missed it, this movie is called PHANTOM OF
THE MALL: ERICS REVENGE. Tat alone convinces you
that it will be the greatest thing on the planet. It might be nice
to focus on the minutia of this direct-to-video gutter slasher
that has inexplicably turned up on 35mm to provide us with
intense happiness. But why bother? Morgan Fairchild, Pauly
Shore, and Ken Foree made the best decisions of their lives
when they decided to star in this movie.
MOTEL HELL (1980, 35mm)
In the 1970s, serial killer Ed Gein made cannibalism and
human-fesh wardrobes into youth culture sensations. When
not blaring Journey or learning macrame, the eras teens could
often be found enjoying the latest Gein-inspired cinematic
masterpiece, from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE to the
incredible DERANGED. MOTEL HELL takes the crown as
the most deeply pleasurable, fun-powered man-as-meat tale ever
set loose on the public. Features a chainsaw war between a cop
and a man wearing a giant pigs head.
THE SADIST (1963, 35mm)
STAR ARCH HALL, JR. IN PERSON! Loosely based on the
crimes of Charles Starkweather, who provided the sicko inspira-
tion for BADLANDS and NATURAL BORN KILLERS, THE
SADIST is a rabid, angst-flled champion of 1960s horror. If
an episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE was directed by Tobe
Hooper circa 1974, it might have turned out like this movie.
INVASION U.S.A. (1985, 35mm)
Production company Cannon Films earned a reputation among
connoisseurs of 80s action movies for consistently delivering
over-the-top, violent products that had more guts than sense.
INVASION U.S.A. is a crown jewel in their collection: a para-
noid, explodey action-thriller set in a cartoon version of reality
that fans the fames of the Cold War with the kind of dumb,
macho rage that, like a denim tuxedo, only Chuck Norris could
pull of with any sincerity.
THIS IS AMERICA PART 2 (1980, 35mm)
Teres no need to see Part 1 of this Italian produced travelogue
that shines a light into the dark corners of weird America. Rum-
maging through our garbage and peeking in our closets, the
producers expose such wild goings-on as karate nuns, topless
carwashes, amateur superheroes, worm eaters, erotic bakeries,
public orgies, Dead Kennedys lead singer Jello Biafras mayoral
run, and a brothel... but for dogs.
POOR PRETTY EDDIE (1975, 35mm)
Everyone who sees this stunning, brain-scraping masterpiece
is amazed by it. It tells the story of a famous singer who sets
out on a drive through Georgia to get away from it all. When
her car breaks down in a rural area she gets a room at the local
hotel, run by maniacal method actress Shelley Winters and her
evil country singer boyfriend Eddie. Within fve minutes of her
arrival, things go shockingly downhill. One of the best movies
of the 70s or ever.
SUPER FUZZ (1980, 35mm)
Outrageously dubbed Italian comedy about policeman David
Speed, played by comedy spaghetti western icon Terence Hill,
who stands a little too close to an exploding nuclear missile. Just
as in real life, the exposure to devastating atomic shockwaves
and high levels of radioactive plutonium gives him super powers.
With Ernest Borgnine as his by-the-book partner, who just gets
all steamed up when Ofcer Dave wont follow the rules.
NORTHVILLE CEMETERY MASSACRE (1980,
35mm)
WRITER/DIRECTOR WILLIAM DEAR IN PERSON!
Cops and bikers will always be at war. NORTHVILLE CEM-
ETERY MASSACRE takes that premise to extremes, framing
the bikers as true emblems of freedom and individuality who are
repeatedly victims of a violent and corrupt police force. Like
Te Wild Bunch on Wheels, a series of violent encounters lights
a fuse that eventually explodes in an unforgettable climax.
THE 68TH ANNUAL SYLVESTER STALLONE BIRTH-
DAY CELEBRATION (19??, 35mm)
Hes an actor, writer, director and even a painter - so why hasnt
Sylvester Stallone been fully acknowledged as the great American
artist that he is? Celebrate his 68th year on earth with a diferent
Rocky movie at each Alamo Drafthouse theater! Unique Mondo
poster available to buy at the screening!
20,000 DAYS ON EARTH (2014)
Drama and reality combine in a fctitious 24 hours in the life
of musician and international cultural icon Nick Cave. With
startlingly frank insights and an intimate portrayal of the artistic
process, the flm examines what makes us who we are, and cele-
brates the transformative power of the creative spirit.
Girlie Night: EMPIRE RECORDS (1995, 35mm)
What is the greatest job in the world? Duh, working at Empire
Records!! What could be better than spending your days rocking
out to 90s alterna, throwing fake funerals, yelling SHOPLIFT-
ER! and, most importantly, celebrating Rex Manning Day? So
if youve ever found yourself doing the Lucas dance or gluing
quarters to the foor as an artistic statement, come join us for
Girlie Night, where yelling Oh Rexy, youre so SEXY! will be
highly encouraged.
Tough Guy Cinema: HARD BOILED (1992, 35mm)
Te flms original tagline was more exciting than a dozen Die
Hards, and frankly even that isnt enough to prepare you for the
jaw-dropping, life-altering ballet of bullets that John Woo has in
store for you. Doves will fy, bullets will fre and by the end of the
night you will see Chow Yun-Fat diving out of the second story
of a hospital building with a live baby in his arms while fring a
pistol all in glorious 35mm.
A HARD DAYS NIGHT (1964)
Just one month after they exploded onto the U.S. scene with their
Ed Sullivan Show appearance, John, Paul, George, and Ringo
began working on a project that would bring their revolutionary
talent to the big screen. Directed with raucous, anything-goes
verve by Richard Lester and featuring a slew of iconic pop
anthems, this is one of the most deliriously entertaining movies
of all time.
Zzang!!!: THE LAST DRAGON (1985, 35mm)
Bruce Leroy embarks upon a quest to become the greatest martial
arts master to have ever lived. But when low-down, no-good, all-
around bad mamma jamma ShoNuf shows up to destroy Leroy,
an epic battle of Good vs. Evil explodes that leaves 80s pop divas,
break dancing fools and child kung-fu prodigies in its wake. A
neon soaked, blaxsploitation, kung-fu musical with karate chops
as strong as its comedy.
THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF DORIS PAYNE (2013)
A glamorous 83-year-old, Doris Payne is as unapologetic today
about the $2 million in jewels shes stolen over a 60-year career as
she was the day she stole her frst carat. With Doris now on trial,
this documentary probes beneath her consummate smile to un-
cover the secrets of her trade and what drove her to a life of crime.
Stylized recreations, an extensive archive and candid interviews
reveal how Payne managed to jet-set her way into any Cartier or
Tifanys from Monte Carlo to Japan and walk out with small for-
tunes. Tis sensational portrait exposes a rebel who defes societys
prejudices and pinches her own version of the American Dream.
Marx Bros: LOVE HAPPY (1949)
Harpo fans unite! Allegedly green-lit to help Chico pay of his
gambling debts, LOVE HAPPY is a surprisingly touching swan
song for not only the Marx Brotherss flm career, but also the
genius of Harpo Marx. A small acting troupe struggles to produce
a play called Love Happy. Harpo, acting as the groups mascot,
steals groceries to help his starving friends. But when a stolen
sardine can also contains stolen diamonds, Harpo fnds himself in
the middle of an international espionage adventure. A misunder-
stood gem in the canon of 1940s Hollywood comedies.
Kids Club: PETES DRAGON (1977, 35mm)
His name is Elliott. Hes 20 feet high, 40 feet long. He can
become invisible at the drop of a hat, or spew red hot fames. In
fact, theres only one way to bring this awesome beast under con-
trol... rub his tummy. Magical musical numbers and spectacular
Disney animation combine to make an adventure of miraculous
proportions. So grab a kid or bring just yourself for a FREE
35mm Kids Club screening and have a Brazzle Dazzle Day.
ROCKY IV (1985, 35mm)
Te most American movie in the history of America! In his
fourth and most momentous screen adventure, wee punchin ma-
chine Rocky Balboa shakes the foundations of the nation when
he goes toe-to-iron boot with Drago (Dolph Lundgren), a Rus-
sian Frankenstein who looks like he uses Italians as dental foss.
But our hero remains undaunted, diving fearlessly into a montage
barrage thatll rattle you like a boxing glove fulla borscht. Tis
movie is so red-white-n-black-n-blue that its aftershocks directly
resulted in the dissolution of Soviet Russia just six years later!
Cinema Club: SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959, 35mm)
Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe have never
been better in this tale of two struggling musicians who witness
a mob hit and are forced to hit the road with an all-female
traveling band in the midst of Prohibition. If seeing these three
titans of cinema on display under the guidance of the great Billy
Wilder isnt enough for you, well then Cinema Cocktails is here
to ease you into it in non-Prohibition-style.
STOP MAKING SENSE (1984)
Director Jonathan Demme captured Talking Heads at their
most powerful in this rousing concert flm. Lead by David By-
rne, the bands energy is contagious, and the excitement builds
from song to song as the stage goes from bare to an intricate
design that perfectly compliments the music. Once you get to
David Byrne in the most exaggerated version of his iconic suit,
youll be smiling so hard your cheeks will hurt.
Homo Arigato!: SUPERSTAR: THE KAREN CAR-
PENTER STORY (1987)
Te tragic life of Karen Carpenter as told with emaciated Barbie
dolls, archive footage, fake talking heads and ample, unautho-
rised use of Te Carpenters music. But this description belies
the flms true depth, its emotional impact, and its surprising
insights into anorexia, the strange intertwining of music and
politics, and the pressures that are placed on those in the public
light, particularly women. Screened with addition shorts from
director Todd Haynes.
Cinema Club: TARGETS (1968, 35mm)
Elderly horror-flm star who, while making a personal appear-
ance at a drive-in theater, confronts a psychotic Vietnam veteran
whos turned into a mass-murdering sniper. Centered around
Karlofs poignant meta-performance and director Peter Bog-
danovichs raw ambition, TARGETS is a compelling B-picture
brimming a social and cinematic intensity that still resonates
today. Stick around for a post-flm roundtable discussion!
THX 1138 (1971)
WITH LIVE SCORE BY CONVEYOR
A chilling exploration of the future, George Lucas sci-f classic
stars Robert Duvall as a man whose mind and body are con-
trolled by the government. He makes a harrowing attempt to
escape from a world where thoughts are controlled, freedom is
an impossibility and love is the ultimate crime. Accompanied by
a brand new live score performed by the band Conveyor.
Video Vortex: TIME OF THE APES (1987, 35mm)
An illogical black hole of madness, jam-packed with psychedelic
visuals, deranged dubbing, and ape soldiers who drive rain-
bow-colored hippie vans. Te movie reeks of desperation, haste,
and recklessness. It has UFOs and a child-ape named Pepe who
wears corduroys. Were not saying that TIME OF THE APES is
better than PLANET OF THE APES. But it probably is.
WATTSTAX (1973)
An incredible outpouring of music, soul and the black experi-
ence. A concert staged in the L.A. Coliseum in the Summer of
1972, WATTSTAX brought together over 100,000 people in
a spirit of joy, pride and celebration. Virtually the entire Stax
Records roster, including Isaac Hayes, Rufus Tomas and the
Staple Singers, put their hearts into performances that matched
the magic of the occasion and forged a connection with the
crowd which is still remembered and revered.
