King Kong Saturday, July 25th Starts at Dusk

Quotes from the Movie:

Carl Denham: [after discovering a huge footprint of Kong] Keep those guns cocked.

Crew member: He's tellin' us.

Crew member: I'd hate to have that thing wrapped around me.

Carl Denham: [warning Jack about women] Some big, hardboiled egg gets a look at a pretty face and bang, he cracks up and goes sappy!

Ann Darrow: I thought you didn't like woman?Jack Driscoll: Yeah, but you're not woman.

Carl Denham: Listen, there are dozens of girls in this town tonight that are in more danger than they'll ever see with me.

Jack Driscoll: Yeah, but they know that kind of danger.

Carl Denham: [observing the natives dancing] Holy mackerel! What a show!

Captain Englehorn: And you expect to photograph it?

Carl Denham: If it's there, you bet I'll photograph it!

Jack Driscoll: Suppose it doesn't like having its picture taken?

Carl Denham: Well, now you know why I brought along those cases of gas bombs.

Jack Driscoll: [to Ann] Hey... I guess I love you.Carl Denham: [just before he instructs Ann on how to act in front of the camera] I see you've put on the "Beauty and the Beast" costume!

Ann Darrow: Uh, huh... it's the prettiest!

Carl Denham: And now, ladies and gentlemen, before I tell you any more, I'm going to show you the greatest thing your eyes have ever beheld. He was a king and a god in the world he knew, but now he comes to civilization merely a captive - a show to gratify your curiosity. Ladies and gentlemen, look at Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Carl Denham: Don't be alarmed, ladies and gentlemen. Those chains are made of chrome steel.

First Movie of the Season The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride Rated PG

Saturday, July 18th

A kindly grandfather sits down with his grandson and reads him a bedtime story. The story is one that has been passed down through from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped and held against her will in order to marry the odious Prince Humperdinck, and Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) attempts to save her. On the way he meets an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become his companions in his quest. They meet a few bad guys along the way to rescue Buttercup
