SANTA CONQUERS THE MARTIANS - PG
Friday, December 4, 2026
Showings at 6:30 pm and 8 pm
Join us for a night of wonderfully weird holiday fun.Come experience one of the most delightfully off beat Christmas movies ever made—a cult classic so strange that it’s impossible not to enjoy it with an audience. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is the kind of film that becomes ten times more fun when shared: a retro sci fi romp, a dose of holiday nostalgia, and a reminder that sometimes the best seasonal traditions are the ones that make us laugh.Whether you’re a fan of vintage cinema, love campy holiday oddities, or simply want a festive night out that’s different from the usual lineup, this screening is a chance to enjoy something bold, bizarre, and completely joyful.
This 1964 sci fi holiday oddity follows a group of Martians who, worried that their children have become too serious, decide the best solution is to kidnap Santa Claus and bring Christmas to Mars. Their plan goes hilariously sideways as Santa’s cheer, Earth’s customs, and the Martians’ rigid routines collide. With cardboard sets, quirky costumes, and a story that’s equal parts earnest and absurd, the film has earned its place as one of the most beloved “so bad it’s good” holiday classics

Will Ferrell stars as Buddy, a human raised at the North Pole who discovers he’s not actually an elf—and heads to New York City to find his father. His journey is a whirlwind of childlike enthusiasm, holiday chaos, and heartfelt connection as Buddy’s boundless cheer crashes headfirst into the cynicism of the real world. Along the way, he transforms everyone he meets—from a jaded department store staff to a fractured family—proving that joy, kindness, and a little Christmas spirit can change everything.With its unforgettable humor, quotable moments, and genuine heart, ELF has become a modern holiday classic that continues to delight audiences of all ages.

BEST IN SHOW – PG
13Saturday, January 2, 2027
Showings at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm
The holidays are officially over! Now it’s time to laugh, unwind, an enjoy a sharp, witty comedy. Best in Show offers the perfect blend of humor, eccentricity, and affectionate chaos. It’s a chance to settle in, share a communal laugh, and end the holiday season with something hilariously fun.
Christopher Guest’s Best in Show is a razor sharp, wildly funny mockumentary that follows an unforgettable group of dog owners as they head to the prestigious Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. As the competition intensifies, nerves fray, loyalties shift, and personalities collide, all delivered with Guest’s unmistakable mix of improvisation, satire, and genuine heart. It’s a comedy that captures “family” in its own wonderfully sideways way—the tribes we choose, the ones we inherit, and the ones that come with four legs and a leash.
With an ensemble of brilliantly offbeat characters—played by Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Parker Posey, Jennifer Coolidge, and more—the film dives into the quirks, anxieties, and fierce devotion that drive people to compete for the coveted blue ribbon.
