Police Story (1985 / 100 min)
May 12, 2026
Presented in Cantonese with English subtitles.
Jackie Chan delivers some of his most astonishing stunt work in this high-octane blend of action, comedy, and procedural drama. Playing a resourceful Hong Kong cop framed for murder, Chan’s Sgt. Chan Ka-Kui battles criminals and corruption with reckless athleticism. From explosive chases to a legendary mall finale, the film’s inventive set pieces helped redefine the genre and cemented Chan’s international reputation as a bankable action star.
Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933 / 97 min)
May 19, 2026
This quintessential pre-Code musical combines backstage comedy and sly social commentary with Busby Berkeley’s legendary extravaganzas that turn chorus lines into surreal geometric spectacles. Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, the film follows a group of showgirls (Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon, and Ginger Rogers) as they scramble to mount a new production.

Set in a small German town during Hitler’s rise to power, this powerful drama follows a close-knit family torn apart by political fervor and growing antisemitism. The film’s moral clarity and emotional urgency make it one of Hollywood’s most pointed pre-war warnings about fascism. Starring James Stewart, Margaret Sullavan, Frank Morgan, and Robert Young.
