    “She Came To Me” - (R; 1 hour, 42 minutes) - This film is a truly modern romantic comedy, a multi-generational love story set against the iconic backdrop of New York: A composer suffering from creative block finds inspiration after a chance encounter with an unusual woman, a couple of bright teenagers fight to prove to their parents that young love can last forever, and for a successful therapist who seemingly has it all, love arrives in the most unexpected of ways. Stars Anne Hathaway, Peter Dinklage and Marisa Tomei. Final screenings at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18 and Thursday, Oct. 19.

    “Killers of the Flower Moon” - (R; 3 hours, 26 minutes) - At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, and Jillian Dion, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese; screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book. During its two-week run at Harbor Theater, there will be two showings daily: Friday, Oct. 20, 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.; at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21, Sunday, Oct. 22, Wednesday, Oct. 25 and Thursday, Oct. 26.

    “Monumental stuff: a story about the deadly legacy of America’s colonial sins, both vast and intimate in scope. Exceptional filmmaking, by an exceptional filmmaker.” – John Nugent, Empire Magazine

    “This is a story of historic injustice and inhumanity, resonating with current wrongs, that more people need to know about — it’s not just a Wild West fairy tale.” – Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    “Goya: Visions of Flesh and Blood” - Exhibition On Screen -  (2016; 1 hour, 30 minutes - one show only) - Heir to Velázquez, a hero to Picasso. Discover Spain’s celebrated artist with this cinematic tour de force based on the National Gallery’s must-see exhibition Goya: The Portraits. Francisco Goya is Spain’s most celebrated artist and considered the father of modern art. Not only a brilliant observer of everyday life and Spain’s troubled past, he is a gifted portrait painter and social commentator par excellence. Goya takes the genre of portraiture to new heights and his genius is reappraised in a much-anticipated landmark exhibition at The National Gallery, London. Directed and filmed David Bickerstaff; produced by Phil Grabsky  Friday, Oct. 20, 2 p.m.

    “Director David Bickerstaff peppers his lively narrative with the insights of curators, painters, and historians, able storytellers all.” – Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader

    “Beetlejuice” - (1988; PG; 1 hour, 32 minutes) - Free family film! - Bring the family to Harbor Theater for free admission and free popcorn and enjoy this classic film! After Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house. When the unbearable Deetzes (Catherine O’Hara, Jeffrey Jones) and teen daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success. Their efforts attract Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a rambunctious spirit whose “help” quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia. Not really scary at all, but full of silliness and “camp” horror motifs. If you missed this one in the 80s, don’t miss it now! One show only: Saturday, Oct. 28 at 2 p.m.
