Movies to see this week: 'John Wick' marathon, Laurel & Hardy, 'The Hidden Fortress'
The summer movie season is upon us. While there are plenty of Marvel, Mission: Impossible, Karate Kid reboots, and live-action Disney remakes to occupy your evening, there are also some splashy repertory epics on screens right now. Here are the repertory movies playing around the Twin Cities this week. Wednesday, May 28, at Heights Theater Some of Alfred Hitchcock's most iconic films have scenes that burn so brightly in memory that they stand in for the entirety of the film and can obscure their overall greatness. North By Northwest can feel that way. Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) gets mistaken for a government agent by a group of spies. It looks like a simple case of mistaken identity, but things go wrong over and over, pulling him deeper and deeper into danger. That includes falling for Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint). It's tense and delightfully frustrating every step of the way, especially if your memory of the movie is a bit obscured by its iconic plane scene. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($19–$19.75) Wednesday, May 28, at The Trylon Cinema With the Cannes success of Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest, a reimagining of High and Low, we're probably in for a spate of renewed interest in that Akira Kurosawa classic. For now, play at being too cool for the obvious pick and catch another masterful collaboration between Kurosawa and his favorite actor, Toshiro Mifune. Two peasants (Minoru Chiaki and Kamatari Fujiwara) discover a general (Mifune) and a princess (Misa Uehara) hiding in a fortress with a hoard of gold. The peasants, fresh off the failure of another money-making scheme, are convinced to aid the general and princess in sneaking through enemy territory and back to safety. It's entertaining and beautifully shot. First-time viewers may also find that there are more than a few ways that George Lucas took inspiration from Kurosawa's film for that little-known space opera he released in 1977, which is going to play at this same theater in June. (Also, the Trylon once released a shirt with Mifune's face on it, so it's obviously the perfect place to see this one.) 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis (free for members, $8 for a member's guest) Thursday, May 29, at Heights Theater The 12-movie collaboration between director Billy Wilder and screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond may be one of the most fruitful partnerships in the history of Hollywood. It gave us comedy classics like The Apartment and Some Like It Hot, as well as the more serious The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes and underappreciated comedies like The Front Page and One, Two, Three. Among that latter category is The Fortune Cookie, a goofball comedy that, like many of Wilder's films from this era, starred Jack Lemmon with his longtime foil Walter Matthau. Harry (Lemmon) is a sideline videographer at a football game who gets bowled over by star player Luther "Boom Boom" Jackson (Ron Rich). Harry's crooked lawyer brother-in-law, Willie (Matthau), convinces him to feign an injury in hopes of a fat payday. But Luther's insurmountable guilt has Harry second-guessing the scheme. It may not rank among The Odd Couple or Grumpy Old Men as one of the best Lemmon/Matthau movies, but this was their first of their 10 on-screen collaborations and is just a notch below those classics. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($13/$13.75) Friday, May 30, at The Parkway Theater One of Alfred Hitchcock's earliest films — his first thriller and arguably the first to give a glimpse of the director's penchant for tension — was a silent film about a Jack the Ripper-style murderer (Ivor Novello) slinking through London streets at night. A live soundtrack will accompany the screening, with Paris 1919 performing a new composition by bandleader Chris Strouth. He'll be joined by Natalie Nowytski, Kent Militzer, and David J. Ross. 4814 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis ($20.21/$23) Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, at Heights Theater The Heights' annual screening of Laurel and Hardy classics returns, showcasing digital restorations of six of the comedy duo's short films. This year's lineup includes 'Another Fine Mess' (1930), 'Men o' War' (1929), 'Going Bye-Bye' (1934), 'Perfect Day' (1929), 'Dirty Work' (1933), and 'Hog Wild' (1930). If this is your cup of pratfalls, get tickets in advance. Sunday's screening sold out quickly, pushing the Heights to add a Saturday screening. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($15/$15.75) Saturday, May 31, at Oakdale Cinema Who knew that the death of a dog would result in so many movies? About a week before the release of Ballerina, a stand-alone movie set in the John Wick universe, Emagine is hosting a marathon screening of the first four John Wick movies. For nearly nine and a half hours, the Oakdale Cinema will treat viewers to revenge, gun battles, neon lights, and a cadre of well-drawn hitmen. Fortunately, they're not bringing The Continental into this. You probably have to Google that miniseries to remember what it was, and that's probably all you really need to know about it. 5677 Hadley Ave. N, Oakdale ($28.12) Tuesday, June 3, at Alamo Drafthouse Arriving the same year as George A. Romero's third zombie opus, Day of the Dead, The Return of the Living Dead got in on mocking zombie movies early. The story is that two buffoons at a medical supply facility accidentally release a gas that raises the dead. The medical supply guys, the local mortuary owner, and a bunch of punks wind up trapped together in the midst of a zombie attack that they don't really understand. It's all played as a very knowing elbow to the ribs. The movie even references Night of the Living Dead before deciding that its own plot doesn't mean a whole lot. It's absurd, sometimes funny, and willing to ask, "Why are these the rules of zombie movies"? The zombies can talk, don't die when you hit them in the head, and don't even really have to be dead to be zombies. It's confusing, but the rules aren't the point, nerd. 9060 Hudson Rd., Woodbury ($11.91)More movies screening this week: May 28: Bajo un Sol Poderoso (Beneath a Powerful Sun) (2022) at The Main Cinema, part of the Minnesota Cuban Film Festival May 28: Blazing Saddles (1974) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek May 28: North By Northwest (1959) at Heights Theater May 28: The Hidden Fortress (1958) at The Trylon Cinema May 28: Black Tight Killers (1966) at Emagine Willow Creek May 28: Jaws (1975) movie party at Alamo Drafthouse May 28: The Apartment (1960) at Edina Mann Theatres May 28–29: Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted (2024) at The Main Cinema May 29: Switchblade Sisters (1975) at Alamo Drafthouse May 29: The Fortune Cookie (1966) at Heights Theater May 29: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) at Emagine Willow Creek May 29: Twilight (2008) at Grandview Theatre May 29: The Village Next to Paradise (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Images of Africa series May 29: Twisters (2024) at North Loop Green (free) May 29: The Goldfish (2019) at The Trylon Cinema May 30: The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) with live music by Paris 1919 at The Parkway Theater May 30–June 1: Slither (1973) at The Trylon Cinema May 31–June 1: Grease (1978) at Emagine Eagan (June 1 only), Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek May 31: Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) at The Parkway Theater May 31–June 1: The Laurel and Hardy Festival at Heights Theater May 31–June 5: The Boss Baby (2017) at St. Michael Cinema May 31: John Wick marathon at Oakdale Cinema June 1: Labyrinth (1986) at Audrey Rose Vintage June 1: Mommie Dearest (1981) at Roxy's Cabaret June 1–3: Outland (1981) at The Trylon Cinema June 1 and 5: The People's Joker (2022) at Grandview Theatres June 2: The Goonies (1985) at Heights Theater June 2, 7, 11, and 22: Dinner in America (2020) at Grandview Theatres June 2: Popcorn (1991) at Emagine Willow Creek June 2: Stand By Me (1986) at Alamo Drafthouse June 2: $5 Mystery Movie at B&B Theatres Mall of America June 2: Marcus Mystery Movie at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, and West End Cinema June 3: Sabbath Queen (2024) at The Main Cinema June 3: The Return of the Living Dead (1985) at Alamo Drafthouse June 3: Sensational Shorts presents Z-Fest Uncut III at Woodbury 10 Theatre

Movies to see this week: 'The Doors,' 'North By Northwest,' 'Hundreds of Beavers'
Showcases, a new midnight movie classic, and a chance to see one of the late Val Kilmer's best roles highlight the movie calendar this week. Here are the repertory movies you can catch around the Twin Cities during the week of May 21. Thursday, May 22, at the Walker Art Center The new film from Vera Brunner-Sung and producers Kazua Melissa Vang and Yeej, Bitterroot, has played in town a couple of times already, with screenings during the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival and last week at the Walker Art Center. This week, Vang and Yeej will curate a showcase of local Hmong artists and filmmakers, continuing some of the themes from their acclaimed film, which was shot in Missoula but featured talent from the Twin Cities Hmong community on-screen and in the production. 725 Vineland Pl., Minneapolis (free) Thursday, May 22, at Emagine Willow Creek Biopics on iconic musicians have become commonplace and are often a bit paint-by-numbers. The expected boredom has sullied expectations for the subgenre, even when there are thrilling examples of the form out there, like Oliver Stone's The Doors. The late Val Kilmer fully embodies Jim Morrison, singing, moving, and looking like him. The movie moves quickly at times, tracing Morrison's life from film school up through his death at 27 in Paris. 9900 Shelard Pkwy., Plymouth ($12.59) Saturday, May 24, at The Parkway Theater Hundreds of Beavers feels like what might have happened if a silent film director from the 1920s grew up on Adult Swim cartoons and made a Bugs Bunny-inspired comedy. With almost no spoken dialogue, a 19th-century fur trapper is tormented by rabbits, woodpeckers, raccoons, fish, and geese out on the frontier. Worst of all are the beavers, of which, you may have guessed, there are hundreds. With intentionally absurd special effects, he goes to war with a deluge of men in beaver costumes. It's already becoming a midnight movie classic, even though it really only hit theaters in 2024. 4814 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis ($16.73–$20) Sunday, May 25, at Emagine Willow Creek Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Thirst) doesn't pull punches in his films. Rather, he tends to set you up for a few final jabs that can be brutally stunning. That's the case in The Handmaiden, which starts as a dark drama when a Korean girl is hired to be the handmaiden to a rich Japanese heiress. The young woman, however, is actually a thief who has been hired to rob and seduce the heiress. Things get twisted and messy. 9900 Shelard Pkwy., Plymouth ($12.59) Monday, May 26, and Wednesday, May 28, at Heights Theater The Hitchcock Festival at the Heights Theater is long gone, but there's still more from the master of suspense coming up. Some of Alfred Hitchcock's most iconic films have scenes that burn so brightly in memory that those scenes stand in for the entirety of the film and can obscure their greatness. North By Northwest can feel that way. Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) gets mistaken for a government agent by a group of spies. It looks like a simple case of mistaken identity, but things go wrong over and over, pulling him deeper and deeper into danger. That includes falling for Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint). It's tense and delightfully frustrating every step of the way, especially if your memory of the movie is a bit obscured by its iconic plane scene. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($19–$19.75)More movies screening this week in the Twin Cities: May 21: 28 Days Later (2002) at Alamo Drafthouse, AMC Southdale, Emagine Willow Creek, and Oakdale Cinema May 21: Cooley High (1975) at Alamo Drafthouse May 21: Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) at AMC Inver Grove, Emagine White Bear, Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, St. Michael Cinema, and West End Cinema May 21: Labyrinth (1986) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, and Emagine White Bear May 21: The Wiz (1978) at AMC Southdale, Oakdale Cinema and West End Cinema May 21: Fresa y Chocolate (Strawberry and Chocolate) (1993) at The Main Cinema, part of the Minnesota Cuban Film Festival May 21: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) at Edina Mann Theatres May 21: Pride & Prejudice (2005) at St. Michael Cinema May 21: The Unborn II (1994) at The Trylon Cinema May 21: Moonstruck (1987) at The Parkway Theater May 21: Crossroads (2002) at Alamo Drafthouse May 21: Tall Tales (2025) at The Main Cinema May 22: Hmong Filmmaker Showcase at Walker Art Center May 22: Making Mr. Right (1987) in 35mm at The Trylon Cinem May 22: Phffft (1954) at Heights Theater May 22: Gather (2020) at Minneapolis Institute of Art (free) May 22: The Apartment (1960) at Grandview Theatres May 24: Star Wars: Episode VI - The Return of the Jedi (1983) at The Parkway Theater May 24: Hundreds of Beavers (2022) w/ costume contest at The Parkway Theater May 24: The '80s Action Extravaganza II: The Quickening at The Trylon Cinema May 24: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) midnight screening at The Parkway Theater May 25: Larry McDonough Quintet Jazz Music + Movie Series presents Miles Ahead (2015) at The Parkway Theater May 25: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) at Roxy's Cabaret May 25–27: Young Frankenstein (1978) at The Trylon Cinema May 25: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) at Roxy's Cabaret May 25 and 28: Blazing Saddles (1974) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, and Emagine White Bear May 25: Bree Way: Promise Witness Remembrance at Minneapolis Institute of Art May 25 and 29: Twilight (2008) at Grandview Theatre May 26: Terminating Mystery Movie at Alamo Drafthouse May 26 and 28: Jaws (1975) at Alamo Drafthouse May 26: Silver Bullet (1995) at Emagine Willow Creek May 27: The Vourdalak (2024) at Alamo Drafthouse May 27: The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) in 35mm at The Parkway Theater

Movies to see this week: 'Natural Born Killers,' 'Titane,' Italian Film Fest
The Italian Film Fest is getting underway at The Main Cinema, the Film Noir Festival at the Heights Theater continues, and lots of offbeat films dot the calendar this week. Here are the repertory films you can catch around the Twin Cities this week. Thursday, Feb. 27 at Emagine Willow Creek Sailor (Nic Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern) are on the run from Lula's mother (Diane Ladd), who doesn't approve of their relationship, and a rogue's gallery of Lynchian characters standing in the way of their doomed romance. (That includes Isabella Rossellini, Crispin Glover, Willem Dafoe, Harry Dean Stanton, and Grace Zabriskie.) Emagine is hosting another film in the parade of David Lynch screenings that started after his death last month. It may not have the stature of Lynch's most beloved films, but he didn't really make duds. Thursday, Feb. 27 and Monday, Feb. 2 at Grandview Theatre Natural Born Killers, co-written by Quentin Tarantino, is unique in Oliver Stone's filmography. Not because it's immensely violent or controversial (at least at the time of it's release), but because it's stylish in a way that isn't typical of his movies. (Plus, there's no JFK conspiracy in it.) Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis) are a sort of hyperviolent Bonnie and Clyde rampaging across the country, killing and committing crimes that turn them into media darlings. It's a critique of media sensationalism that has arguably become closer to the mark with age, even if it's been critiqued itself for sensationalizing violence. Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Minneapolis Institute of Art The Mia is screening Martin Scorsese's episodic epic, based on the life of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, who, as he ages, reckons the persecution of the Tibetan people under Chinese rule. It stars Tenzin Thuthob Tsarong, a grandnephew of the Dalai Lama. The Disney-released film, unsurprisingly, was the subject of pushback from the Chinese government before it was even released. Disney, of course, caved to economic forces and helped bury it on its release. Despite four Oscar nominations, which included recognition for Philip Glass' great score and outstanding cinematography from Coen Bros. regular Roger Deakins, it's one of the less-discussed of Scorsese's movies, and that's too bad. It pairs nicely with the museum's recent opening of its Tibetan Shrine Room, so make some time to visit the new permanent exhibit. Sunday, Mar. 2 at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival The Italian Film Festival gets underway at The Main Cinema this week. It's bringing in a parade of contemporary and classic Italian films. Among those is Il Postino, a film that doesn't often get a spotlight more than 30 years after its release. (Though it got plenty of attention when it was released and nominated for Best Picture at the 1996 Oscars.) Massimo Troisi, who got a posthumous Oscar nomination for the role, plays a postman who falls in love with poetry while delivering mail to the poet Pablo Neruda. His relationship with the legendary Chilean poet helps with his attempts to court the woman of his dreams. Monday, Mar. 3 at Alamo Drafthouse If you didn't find enough visual madness and narrative oddity with Lynch earlier in the week, director Julia Ducournau is here for you. Agathe Rousselle stars as a violent go-go dancer with a fetish for cars following an accident that left her with a unique titanium implant. Her story collides with a spate of unexplained murders and Vincent, who is mysteriously reunited with his son 10 years after he went missing. It's visually wild, complex, and delightful if you're able to let go and let yourself be taken for the screening in the Twin Cities this week: Feb. 27: Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) at AMC Southdale and AMC Coon Rapids Feb.27: Babe: Pig in the City (1998) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 27: 20 Years in the Crypt: Embedded on Tour with Dead Moon at Cloudland Theater Feb. 27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Documentary at The Main Cinema Feb. 27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action at Landmark Lagoon Feb. 27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Animation at The Main Cinema and Landmark Lagoon Feb. 27: Duel (1971) at The Heights Theater, part of the Film Noir Festival Feb. 27: The Princess Bride (1987) at The Parkway Theater Feb. 27: Moonlight (2016) at CMX Odyssey IMAX, AMC Eden Prairie, AMC Rosedale, and AMC Southdale Feb. 27: Il Tempo Che Ci Vuole (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28–Mar. 4: Beethoven (1992) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 28–Mar. 4: Oppenheimer (2023) at AMC Southdale Feb. 28: Semidei (2023) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28: Tutto Quello Che Vuoi (2017) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28: Un Altro Ferragosto (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28–Mar. 4: Boogie Nights (1997) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 1: Leprechaun In the Hood (2000) at The Main Cinema Mar. 1: Io la Conoscevo Bene (1965) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Familia (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Ricomincio da Tre (1981) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Nosferatu (1922) at Radiohead: Silent Synced at Emagine Willow Creek and Emagine Eagan Mar. 1: C'é Ancora Domani (2023) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Kids' Film Fair 2025 at The Walker Art Center Mar. 1–2: Shrek (2001) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 1: Shrek (2001) movie party at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 1: Interstellar (2014) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 2: Parasite (2019) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 2: Just Mercy (2019) at Oakdale Cinema and West End Cinema Mar. 2: Straight Outta Compton (2015) at Oakdale Cinema and West End Cinema Mar. 2: Sei Fratelli (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 2: El Paraiso (2023) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 2: Gloria!

Movies to see this week: '42,' 'Do the Right Thing,' 'Blue Velvet'
It's a great week for movie lovers, with classics like Do the Right Thing returning to theaters. There's also the continuation of The Film Noir Festival, a bevy of Black History Month screenings, and more David Lynch. Here are movies you shouldn't miss at Twin Cities theaters this week. Sunday, Feb. 23 at Oakdale Cinema and West End Cinema Spike Lee's classic is part of Marcus Theatres' series of Black History Month screenings. Though you don't really need an excuse to see what's probably Lee's best film. He wrote, directed, and stars in movie about rising tensions in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood on a smolderingly hot day. The bigotry endured by residents simmers until it hits a violent boil. 5677 Hadley Ave. N, Oakdale; 1625 West End Blvd., St. Louis Park ($8.42) Thursday, Feb. 20 at Emagine Willow Creek, and Monday, Feb. 24 at Heights Theater There are a lot of David Lynch films hitting screens this month as fans celebrate his incredible life. Lynch died in January, but his legacy is clearly alive and well. (Wild at Heart will also screen this week at the Grandview Theatre.) While the plot may be more straightforward than some of his films, Blue Velvet isn't an easy watch. Kyle MacLachlan stars as a young man who can't resist prodding around the mystery behind a severed ear he finds in a field. While he's falling in love with Sandy (Laura Dern), he's become infatuated with Dorothy (Isabella Rossellini), an older singer tied up with the dangerous gangster Frank (Dennis Hopper). It sounds like a noir, but it's much, much darker than that. 9900 Shelard Pkwy, Plymouth ($11.60); 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights (sold out) Thursday, Feb. 20 at Heights Theater The Film Noir Fetival continues this week as Bart (John Dahl) and Annie (Peggy Cummins) showcase their love of guns, money, and thrills. Its famous three-minute single shot of a heist was shot in at a real bank with real locals who had no idea that a movie was being made. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($12.75) Monday, Feb. 24 at Bloomington 13 at Mall of America You can certainly make the case that 42 is a little conventional, a little flat. That'd be fair. It's also fair to say that the straightforward biopic formula works just fine for the movie about Jackie Robinson breaking through into Major League Baseball. It is, you may have heard, a pretty remarkable story and Robinson was a pretty remarkable human being. The movie maybe undersells how hard it was for Robinson, who faced racist hate in the streets, from fans in the stands, from the management of other teams, from the hotels and restaurants where his team ate and slept, from opponents who could try to bean him when he was at the plate, and even from his own teammates. It's one of the many remarkable performances given by Chadwick Boseman, who is excellent as Robinson. 401 South Ave., Bloomington ($5) Monday, Feb. 24 at Emagine Willow Creek Song Kang-ho, one of South Korea's most celebrated actors with a talent for bringing humor to serious stories, reunited with director Park Chan-wook for this atypical vampire story. (They worked together in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, the underrated follow-up to Park's classic, Oldboy.) He stars as a priest who is infected with something that turns him into a vampire during a failed experiment. He becomes something terrifying, but desperately doesn't want to lose himself as his world begins to unravel. 9900 Shelard Pkwy, Plymouth ($11.60) More movies playing this week: Feb. 19: To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 19: Carrie (1976) at Edina Theatre Feb. 19: The Wedding Singer (1998) movie party at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 19: Kitty Mammas (2021) at Trylon Cinema Feb. 19 and 23: Coming to America (1988) at Oakdale Cinema and West End Cinema Feb. 19: The Princess Bride (1987) at Heights Theater Feb. 19–26: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Animation at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 19–25: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Animation at Riverview Theater Feb. 19–27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Animation at The Main Cinema and Landmark Lagoon Feb. 19: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Animation at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, Southbridge Crossing Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 19–26: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Documentary at Riverview Theater Feb. 19–27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Documentary at The Main Cinema Feb. 19–23 and 25–27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action at Landmark Lagoon Feb. 19–26: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 20–21 and 23–25: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action at Riverview Theater Feb. 20–27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action at The Main Cinema Feb. 20 and 26: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, Southbridge Crossing Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 20 and 23: Wild at Heart (1990) at Grandview Theatre Feb. 20: Harold & Maude (1971) at The Parkway Theater Feb. 20: Paradise (2023) at Trylon Cinema Feb. 20: The Black Power Mixtape 1967–1975 (2011) at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (free) Feb. 20: Babe (1995) at Emagine Willow Creek, Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine East Bethel, and Emagine White Bear Feb. 20: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) at Emagine Willow Creek, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, St. Michael Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 21: 2025 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Animation at Emagine Willow Creek and Emagine Eagan Feb. 21–26: 2025 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Animation at Edina Theatre Feb. 21–26: 2025 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Live Action at Edina Theatre Feb. 21–23: 2025 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Documentary at Edina Theatre Feb. 21–23: America: Everything You've Ever Dreamed Of (1967-73) at Trylon Cinema Feb. 21–25: Babe: Pig in the City (1998) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 21: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) at Emagine Willow Creek, Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, St. Michael Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 22: 13th (2016) at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (free) Feb. 22: Cry-Baby (1990) at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 22: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, St. Michael Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 22: 2025 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Live Action at Emagine Eagan and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 23: Goodfellas (1990) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 23: Mascarpone (2021) at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 23: "Knew Love" at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (free) Feb. 23: 2025 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Documentary at Emagine Eagan and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 23–25: The Lost Weekend (1945) in 35mm at The Trylon Cinema and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 23: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, St. Michael Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 23: The Phantom of the Opera (2004) movie party at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 24: 2025 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Animation at Emagine Eagan and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 24: The Social Network (2010) at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 24: Marcus Mystery Movie at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, Southbridge Crossing Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 24: B&B Mystery Movie at Bloomington 13 at Mall of America Feb. 25: Dolemite Is My Name (2019) at Alamo Drafthouse at Emagine Eagan and Emagine Willow Creek
