Hugh Wilson’s THE FIRST WIVES CLUB: 30th Anniversary!
(PG, 1996, 102 min)
"It isn’t about getting even, it’s about getting everything." Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton are in top form in this classic battle-of-the-sexes comedy. Three Manhattan women, each dumped by their husbands for a newer, younger model, join forces to turn heartbreak into hilariously clever payback. Outrageous schemes, perfectly timed cons, and biting wit ensue as these longtime friends navigate revenge with flair and humor. Sharp, clever, and gleefully over-the-top, The First Wives Club celebrates women who play by their own rules — don’t tell them what to do, and don’t tell them what to say.

Michael Hoffman’s SOAPDISH
(PG-13, 1991, 97 min)
“All that glitter... All that glamour... All that dirt.” Step behind the scenes of daytime television with Soapdish, a cult comedy where ambition, vanity, and petty rivalries run wild. Sally Field stars as Celeste Talbert, the long-time star of the soap opera The Sun Also Sets, who finds herself entangled in a web of deceit and betrayal. Her co-star Montana Moorehead (Cathy Moriarty) schemes to replace her, while the rest of the eccentric ensemble — including Kevin Kline, Whoopi Goldberg, Carrie Fisher, Elisabeth Shue, and Robert Downey Jr. — navigates their own chaotic ambitions. Sharp, witty, and gleefully over-the-top, this classic 90s comedy revels in the absurd lengths people go to for fame, fortune, and revenge.
