Landmark Loews Jersey – June 10 & 11 - Bernard Herrmann
As Always, All Our Show Are Presented Exclusively From High Resolution 35mm Motion Picture Film With Genuine Carbon Arc Projection, On Our Giant 50 Foot Wide Screen.
Friday June 10th at 8:00pm – Cape Fear (1962)
Starring Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Polly Bergen.
Directed by J. Lee Thompson. (106 minutes, B&W)
Gregory Peck, playing the straight-laced hero as usual, is the perfect counter-point to Robert Mitchum in what becomes a psychotic game of cat and mouse. Peck’s growing frustration and terror at his utter helplessness -- both legally and physically -- to head off what Mitchum is so relentlessly doing is devastatingly palpable. The supporting cast is excellent. And Bernard Herrmann’s haunting score is literally pitch-perfect.
Saturday June 11th at 6:00pm – The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad (1958)
Starring Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn Grant, Richard Eyer & Torin Thatcher.
Special Effects by Ray Harryhausen.
Directed by Nathan Juran. (94 minutes, Color)
One of Ray Harryhausen’s best work is The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, an Arabian Night-inspired tale of Sinbad as he sails the seas, forms an uneasy alliance with an evil magician and battles a Cyclops, a two-headed Roc and a magically resurrected skeleton. The action starts right away and continues throughout the film, and Bernard Herrmann’s score is the perfect companion, adding mood that enhances the visual effects. Herrmann went on to score three more Harryhausen films.
Saturday June 11th at 8:10pm – The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
Starring James Stewart & Doris Day.
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. (120 minutes, Color)
American tourists Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day witness the killing of a Frenchman they've recently befriended. Just before dying, the man whispers a secret to Stewart; a political assassination will occur during a concert at London's Albert Hall. But Stewart soon finds out that he dare not go to the police, because foreign agents have kidnapped his son to insure his silence.

The Landmark Loews Jersey – The Wonder Theatre Of New Jersey
For the weekend of October 28rd and 29th, The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre, the metro area’s favorite venue for classic films located on Journal Square in Jersey City, New Jersey, continues its 11th consecutive year of classic film screenings.
The theatre is located directly across from the PATH subway station connecting Manhattan with Jersey City, it is also easy to reach from most area highways. Secure discounted parking is located directly behind the theatre. Have your parking ticket validated at the theatre’s boxoffice.
As Always, All Our Show Are Still Presented Exclusively From High Resolution 35mm Motion Picture Film With Genuine Carbon Arc Projection, On Our Giant 50 Foot Wide Screen.
For October, three Halloween favorites. We recommend attending with someone who’s blood is above room temperature.
Friday October 28rd at 8:00pm – The House On Haunted Hill (1958)
Starring Vincent Price, Directed by William Castle. (175 minutes, B&W)
Wealthy Vincent Price challenges seven people to spend the night in a haunted house. Those who make it through the night will be paid $10,000, assuming they are still alive… Presented with EMERGO! William Castle’s grandson will be there to talk about his legendary grandfather, the making of The House on Haunted Hill and to raffle off a copy of the newly released “House On Haunted Hill: A William Castle Annotated Screamplay” – the newly published script for the movie with Castle’s handwritten notes.
Saturday October 29th at 6:00pm – Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
Starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, Bela Lugosi & Lon Chaney, Jr. (83 minutes, B&W)
This movie is really two-for-one because in addition to Abbott & Costello, the three most iconic characters of Universal Picture's now legendary classic horror are brought together here: Dracula is in search of a "simple, pliable" brain with which to revive the long dormant Frankenstein Monster. It turns out that the "ideal" brain belongs to the hapless Lou Costello. Soon, Laurence Talbot, better known as The Wolf Man, arrives to warn Costello and his pal Bud Abbott about Dracula's plans. Both horror and hilarity ensue.
Saturday October 29th at 8:15pm – The Cabinet Of Doctor Caligari (1919)
Starring Werner Krauss, Conrad Veidt. Directed by Robert Wiene. (71 minutes, B&W)
Silent film to be accompanied by Wayne Zimmerman at the organ.
Featuring highly stylized, often nightmare-like sets, stark lighting and shadows, and angled cinematography perfectly fit its theme of madness and disorientation, and made it perhaps the most visually striking movie yet produced. It defined the look of German Expressionist cinema -- which went on to influence American horror films, Orson Welles, Film Noir, Hitchcock, and more.

The Landmark Loews Jersey – The Wonder Theatre Of New Jersey
For the weekend of November 18rd and 19th, The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre, the metro area’s favorite venue for classic films located on Journal Square in Jersey City, New Jersey, continues its 11th consecutive year of classic film screenings with a remembrance of World War 2.
The theatre is located directly across from the PATH subway station connecting Manhattan with Jersey City, it is also easy to reach from most area highways. Secure discounted parking is located directly behind the theatre. Have your parking ticket validated at the theatre’s boxoffice.
As Always, All Our Show Are Still Presented Exclusively From High Resolution 35mm Motion Picture Film With Genuine Carbon Arc Projection, On Our Giant 50 Foot Wide Screen.
For November, three films that represent three aspects of World War 2, the war in Europe, the Home Front, and the war in the Pacific.
Friday November 18rd at 8:00pm – The Train (1964)
Starring Burt Lancaster & Paul Scofield. Directed by John Frankenheimer.
(133 minutes, B&W)
Shooting on location, using real trains, train yards and stations, and surrounding stars Burt Lancaster and Paul Scofield with a French supporting cast, director John Frankenheimer created a galvanizing realism that not only gives an extraordinary look to the film but also reinforces tension while underlining the human cost of a mission that offers only symbolic rewards. And Lancaster famously did his own stunt work, adding an extra degree of realism to the action and the intensity to his typically powerful performance.
Saturday November 19th at 6:00pm – Saboteur (1942)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Robert Cummings, Priscilla Lane, Norman Lloyd.
(115 minutes, B&W)
A theme that Hitchcock used over and over again, an innocent man is accused of sabotage, and is on the run from both the police and the Nazi spies actually responsible for the dastardly deed. From an aircraft factory in Los Angeles to Radio City Music and the Statue Of Liberty in New York, the action is non-stop in one of Hitchcock’s best films.
Saturday October 29th at 8:20pm – The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957)
Starring Alec Guinness, William Holden, Sessue Hayakawa. Directed by David Lean
(161 minutes, B&W)
This film ranks as one of the greatest films of all time, combining sweeping vision with human scale, and is also one of director David Lean's best films. It is a riveting dramatization of the peculiar cruelty of the Pacific Theatre in World War II, and of the madness and bravery inherent in all war. The story is loosely based on the historical construction of the Burma Railway by the POWs and forced civilian conscripts who were used by the occupying Japanese as slave labor.

Meg and John P. Brogan Classic 100
quote:
Since the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center Classic 100 list was introduced in 2007, we have had an overwhelmingly positive response to the programs we have curated. Over the past year, we have been able to present retrospectives by filmmakers such as Akira Kurosawa and Charlie Chaplin and historical movements such as the French New Wave thanks to the generous support of the Meg and John P. Brogan Endowment for cinema. This year, we have decided to make some changes to the list based on a variety of factors.
The list was originally designed to give Notre Dame students the opportunity to see one hundred of the greatest films ever produced over the course of their four years of academic study. Many factors were considered in the original selection process: Academy Award winners for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film, the American Film Institute’s Top 100 list (which has also been revised in the 10 years since it was first announced), the Library of Congress National Film Registry, best film lists from critics such as Roger Ebert, consultation with campus experts in film studies. Even the Vatican has its picks which include a refreshingly diverse collection of films from around the world.
In preparing this revision, we incorporated these criteria as well as some new metrics. The painstaking work of the expertly curated Criterion DVD Collection has made countless classics available to many viewers for the first time and provided an instance of an increasing and evolving canon. We also considered a wider spectrum of individual lists from critics and scholars which allowed us to give greater emphasis to international cinema.
Despite all of these efforts, a list such as this is inherently subjective. In 2010, the organizers of the Toronto Film published their own top 100. In deciding how to compile this list, the festival programmers merged the choices of audience members with those of “experts” -- fellow programmers, critics and film scholars which yielded some interesting results. Their list includes Slumdog Millionaire, a film widely-heralded following its initial release but has since come under greater critical scrutiny. Will a film like this have the same resonance in five or ten years or will its “honeymoon period” be over? This is not to critique the individual film but to recognize that canons can often be more productive when they are subject to a periodic review.
Our ultimate goal is to give our audiences a broad selection of culturally significant works that attest to the dynamic and evolving history of cinema and we hope that this list exemplifies these ideals.

It’s a new year for old movies at the The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre, the metro area’s favorite venue for classic films!
The theatre is located directly across from the PATH subway station connecting Manhattan with Jersey City and it is also easy to reach from most area highways. Secure discounted parking is located directly behind the theatre. Have your parking ticket validated at the theatre’s boxoffice.
As Always, All Our Show Are Still Presented Exclusively From High Resolution 35mm Motion Picture Film With Genuine Carbon Arc Projection, On Our Giant 50 Foot Wide Screen.
For January 2012, we have two separate weekend programs. The first on January 20th & 21st features films that feature movie theatres. The second on January 28th celebrates the films of actress Piper Laurie, who will appear live to discuss her career.
Friday January 20th at 8:00pm – Cinema Paradiso
Starring Philippe Noiret, Salvatore Cascio, Marco Leonardi, Jacques Perrin.
Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.
A movie about the magic of going to the movies, Cinema Paradiso is a brilliantly realized comedy-drama about a successful Roman film director who returns to the village he was born in for the funeral of a friend, a retired projectionist. In so doing he begins a journey back to his boyhood in the years after WWII when townsfolk tried to escape grim times as often as they could by entering the world of the local movie theatre. Cinema Paradiso, which won the 1990 Oscar for best foreign film
Saturday January 21st at 6:00pm – Purple Rose Of Cairo (1985)
Starring Mia Farrow, Jeff Daniels. Directed by Woody Allen.
(82 minutes, Color)
Mia Farrow plays a woman stuck in an abusive marriage and a bad job in a small town during the Great Depression. Every chance she gets, she escapes into the magical darkness of the local movie theatre. Then one day, the hero of one of the movies, played by Jeff Daniels, literally climbs down off of the screen to join her in the theatre. Soon, he’s running off with her so she can show him the “real” world. Filmed about 40 miles north of the Loews Jersey in Piermont NY, and about 40 miles west of the Loews Jersey at the recently closed Bertrand’s Island Amusement Park on Lake Hopatcong NJ.
Saturday January 21st at 8:30pm – Sherlock Jr. (1924)
Starring Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Ward Crane. Directed by Buster Keaton.
(45 minutes, Silent, B&W.)
Keaton plays a hapless projectionist who’s studying to be a detective and falls in love with a beautiful girl, only to lose her to a rival who frames him for the theft of her father’s watch. The dejected Keaton falls asleep while he’s projecting a movie about a jewelry theft – and dreams that he walks down the theatre isle and climbs right up and into the movie screen. The movie characters become his rival, girlfriend and her father – and Keaton, of course, becomes the suave detective who puts all things right.
The Buster Keaton silent short, The Play House (1921) will also be shown. Both shows will feature acclaimed organist Bernie Anderson playing the Loews Jersey’s mighty Morton Wonder Organ.
Saturday January 28th Actress Piper Laurie Live & 2 Of Her Films On Screen
