Before you walk that dark road to revenge, arrive early for our comic book/punk rock flea market, filled with vendors so slick they’d turn a hot pepper cool.

Directed by Frank Miller, based on his groundbreaking graphic novel, with a little help from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, SIN CITY melds the emotion of Film Noir with the aesthetic of a comic book, resulting in a film that hits you like a brick in a boxing glove, with so much style coming off the screen you might need to hit the windshield wipers.

Four tales of characters walking dark path of retribution and redemption on the wrong side of the law, in a town too cruel to care, a tale told in inky blacks and not-so-innocent whites, populated by a punishing parade of score-settling stars: Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Brittany Murphy, Michael Madden, and many more.

Featuring a live DJ set, themed raffle, and more fun while you peruse the vendors before showtime!

*Vendor Apps Available by Request at [email protected].

Gates open at 5pm, Showtime at Sundown.

Tix only $5 for kids under 13yrs.

Film presented digitally.

Join us for a trip down the rabbit hole into Sherwood Forest, with two wonderfully whimsical musical animated adventures for all ages on the big, BIG screen!

We begin with Walt Disney’s animated adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic of curious childhood backyard discovery, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, with our titular traveler tumbling down a rabbit route into a wondrously weird world of March Hares and Mad Hatters, Caterpillars and Queens, Cheshire Cats and Walruses, talking animals and peculiar potions, in blazing Technicolor!

With the voice talents of Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Sterling Holloway, Jerry Colonna, and D**k Trout!

Once you’re retuned to normal size and filled your belly with tasty treats from the snack bar at intermission, we invite you to check out a real fox….ROBIN HOOD! He’s a debonair outlaw living in could-be-merrier Olde England, fighting against the corrupt Prince John and the Sherrif Of Nottingham, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, and falling hard for Maid Marian, all while singing a catchy tune or two!

See the classic tale of adventure, with an all-animal cast, with the voices of Brian Bedford, Roger Miller, Terry-Thomas, Andy Devine, Phil Harris, Peter Unstinov, Monica Evans, and Pat Buttram!

See these two classics again for the first time on the giant outdoor screen on 35mm film, and let the Disney magic fill your eyes and ears with the joys of being a kid again!

Gates open at 6pm, Showtime at Sundown.

Peep the Official Limited Edition Poster Art by resident artist Tom Bifulco! Available in the merch market while supplies last.

We begin with the dark and beautiful fantasy tale of demons, unicorns and princesses, the stuff of LEGEND (1985). Tom Cruise stars as a simple man in a magical forest who must do battle with the Lord Of Darkness (Tim Curry in jaw-dropping makeup designed by Rob Bottin) to save his beloved princess (Mia Sara) and save the world. With Alice Playten, Robert Picardo, and Billy Barty, and a score by Tangerine Dream.

We move from a fantasy past to a fantastical future when Harrison Ford stars as a hardboiled BLADE RUNNER (1982), hunting down rogue robots in a noiry futuristic Los Angeles, filled with danger and intrigue, in one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time.

With Sean Young, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, and James Hong, music by Vangelis.

From far off lands to far-flung futures, these two films give a glittering glimpse into the almost half a century of theatrical journeys Ridley Scott has guided audiences on, from historical epics to interstellar adventures, action to drama, Scott has done it all, with no signs of slowing down.

ALIEN, THELMA AND LOUISE, GLADIATOR, BLACK HAWK DOWN, and so many more memorable films have entertained and enlightened audiences for decades, and this inaugural GREAT SCOTT! presents just two of them.

Arrive early for a themed DJ set, food specials, themed merch, raffle, and more fun!

Gates open at 6pm. Showtime At Sundown.
