Beeban Kidron’s TO WONG FOO THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, JULIE NEWMAR
(PG-13, 1995, 105 min)
“You know what? This town needs a little sparkle.” Hit the road with Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo as three drag queens who turn a sleepy Midwest town upside down. Sequins fly, heels click, and makeovers run wild as they spread sass, style, and unstoppable charisma everywhere they go. Full of outrageous comedy, dazzling costumes, and unforgettable moments, this cult classic is pure, unapologetic fun — a glitter-filled joyride where confidence reigns, friendships blossom, and everyone gets a chance to strut their stuff. Bring your best wigs, bring your friends, and prepare for a fabulous good time!

Adam Shankman’s HAIRSPRAY
(PG, 2007, 115 min)
“I’m big, I’m beautiful, and I’m here to boogie!” Get ready to dance, sing, and laugh with John Travolta as the fabulously over-the-top Edna Turnblad in this modern camp classic musical. In 1960s Baltimore, plucky teen Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) dreams of dancing on a local TV show, shaking up segregation, winning hearts, and proving that everyone deserves to strut their stuff. Along the way, she’s joined by a dazzling ensemble including Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, and Zac Efron, creating a whirlwind of energy, style, and comedy. Bursting with vibrant choreography, outrageous costumes, and infectious songs, the film builds to the unforgettable anthem “You Can’t Stop the Beat”, a joyous celebration of individuality, empowerment, and sheer fun. Bold, hilarious, and irresistibly tuneful, it’s a musical party on screen you won’t want to miss.
