Tuesday, March 25th - The Piano (1993)
Picked by Wes Anderson
Set in 1851, a mute Scottish woman arrives in colonial New Zealand for an arranged marriage, with her precocious young daughter and beloved piano in tow. Her practical new husband refuses to transport the piano to their home and makes a deal with his neighbor, George Baines to take the piano off his hands. Attracted to Ada, Baines agrees to return the piano in exchange for a series of piano lessons that become a series of increasingly charged sexual encounters. As pent-up emotions of rage and desire swirl around all three characters, the savage wilderness begins to consume the tiny European enclave.

Wednesday, April 30th at 7:30 PM - Harold & Maude
Picked by Richard Linklater
Young, rich, and obsessed with death, Harold finds himself changed forever when he meets Maude at a funeral. A lively woman sixty years his senior who encourages the morbid teenager to look on the bright side and live life to the full, Maude is a million miles away from the women Harold's mother tries to set him up with. But the substantial age difference raises eyebrows when their relationship takes a romantic turn, and Maude's impending 80th birthday may separate the pair forever.
One of the things in this world you genuinely and definitely cannot construct is an old building. Add to that: the rarity of an actual existing and operational movie palace. This one has a history literally like no other left in Houston.
