The Coconauts

Witness the Marx Brothers in their groundbreaking first feature film! This pre-Code musical comedy showcases Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo at their zaniest as they wreak havoc at a Florida hotel during the 1920s land boom.

The film follows hotel manager Mr. Hammer (Groucho) as he deals with romantic intrigues, potential thieves, and his brothers' chaotic antics. Featuring five original tunes by Irving Berlin, including "When My Dreams Come True," the movie combines spectacular musical numbers with the Marx Brothers' signature comedy routines.

Don't miss classic scenes including the hilarious land auction ("You can even get stucco! Oh, how you can get stuck-oh!"), and Harpo and Chico's memorable musical solos on harp and piano. Recently entered into the public domain, this restored version offers enhanced audio quality while preserving the madcap energy that made the Marx Brothers legends.

Blackmail!

Experience Alfred Hitchcock's groundbreaking first sound film, a masterful thriller that revolutionized British cinema. When a young London woman kills an artist in self-defense during an attempted rape, she finds herself trapped in a web of blackmail and guilt.

Hitchcock's innovative direction showcases his early genius for suspense, including the famous "knife" sequence where the word repeatedly punctuates conversation. Originally planned as a silent film, Blackmail was transformed into Britain's first successful talkie during production, with both versions released simultaneously.

Featuring Anny Ondra's compelling performance as the tormented Alice and Hitchcock's signature visual storytelling, the film builds to a thrilling climax at the British Museum. Restored from the original 35mm elements with enhanced audio, this classic demonstrates why Hitchcock became known as the Master of Suspense.

Phantom of the Opera

Experience Lon Chaney's iconic performance in the original silent horror masterpiece. Chaney is the terrifying Erik, a disfigured genius who lurks in the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera House, orchestrating events to promote the career of his beloved protégée, Christine Daaé.

Directed by Rupert Julian, this film is renowned for Chaney's own grotesque and groundbreaking makeup, revealed in one of cinema's most shocking moments. Featuring magnificent sets, including the famous Technicolor masquerade sequence, and a powerful organ score, Phantom remains a landmark of gothic horror and a testament to the power of silent film.
