A reality-based crime drama set in Minnesota in 1987. Jerry Lundegaard (William H.

But when bad things happen, everything falls apart…


THE GOLD RUSH (1925)

Charlie Chaplin’s comedic masterwork, which charts a prospector’s search for fortune in the Klondike and his discovery of romance (with the beautiful Georgia Hale), forever cemented the iconic status of Chaplin and his Little Tramp character. Shot partly on location in the Sierra Nevadas and featuring such timeless gags as the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled shoe leather, THE GOLD RUSH is an indelible work of heartwarming hilarity.

Tuesday, January 31 at 7:30 PM
Join Eddie Murphy on an unforgettable comic quest to the New World. As an African Prince, it’s time for him to find a princess… and the mission leads him and his most loyal friend (Arsenio Hall) to Queens, New York. In disguise as an impoverished immigrant, the pampered prince quickly finds himself a new job, new friends, new digs, new enemies and lots of trouble. Keep an eye out for both Murphy and Hall in some unforgettable cameo roles!
