THE THREE STOOGES

The Three Stooges Meet Hercules
"Good slapstick for kids and fans."—Leonard Maltin’s TV Movies and Video Guide
In probably the best feature from late in their careers, Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Joe DeRita—the physical-comedy legends known collectively as The Three Stooges—accidentally activate a time machine and go from Ithaca, New York, to Ithica, ancient Greece. There they encounter Hercules (here a bad guy!), get trapped on a galley ship, battle the Cyclops, and have an adventure for the ages, filled with inventive spoofing and inspired slapstick.
USA, 1962, 89 min, Not Rated, Directed by Edward Bernds, Black and White

The Time Machine
"The granddaddy of all time travel movies. Grand fun."—Gerry Shamray, Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
George Pal’s fantastic, Academy Award-winning science-fiction classic is an exciting and faithful adaptation of author H.G. Wells’ 1895 masterpiece. The story follows a turn-of-the-century scientist (Rod Taylor) and his time machine, passing through three world wars and atomic devastation before coming to rest in the year 802,701. To his horror he discovers that the human race has evolved into two hostile species—the Eloi, an apathetic, placid people who are at the mercy of the Morlocks, a maniacal, mutant underworld—and the only way to help them is to incite a revolution.
USA. 1960, 103 min, Rated G, Directed by George Pal, Color

Jason and the Argonauts
"Saturday matinee fun in the finest tradition."—Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
Greek mythological heroes come to brilliant life in this classic fantasy based on the story of Jason, Hercules, and the crew of the Argos’ quest for the fabled Golden Fleece. A thrilling score by Bernard Herrmann and legendary special effects by the great Ray Harryhausen (The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Mysterious Island)--including a colossal bronze god, bat-winged Harpies, the seven-headed Hydra, Neptune, and an army of sword-wielding skeletons—make this an adventure/fable not to be missed.
UK/USA, 1963, 104 min, Rated G, Directed by Don Chaffey, Color

Microcosmos
"Amazingly beautiful! A breathtaking reminder that Mother Nature remains the greatest special effects wizard of all."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Before there was Winged Migration and March of the Penguins, there was MICROCOSMOS. A miraculous you-are-there-close-up of the insect kingdom, this acclaimed French documentary (narrated in English by Kristin Scott Thomas of The English Patient) provides a fascinating, unprecedented view of the world of insects, snails, and other tiny invertebrates as they work, eat, fight, and procreate. Filmed with special microscopic cameras and high-resolution microphones after 15 years of research and 2 years of equipment design, this is undoubtedly one of the most awe-inspiring nature movies ever made.
France/Switzerland/Italy, 1996, 77 min, Rated G, Directed by Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou
