A three-time Academy Award winner and one of the most popular and enduring movies of all time, director Billy Wilder's legendary Sunset Boulevard opens the “From Hitler to Hollywood” film series hosted by the German American Heritage Center, its September 3 screening at Davenport venue The Last Picture House treating audience to what Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus calls “a tremendously entertaining combination of noir, black comedy, and character study."

A box-office hit from 2000 lauded by Quentin Tarantino as "a brilliant retelling of the Superman mythology," M. Night Shymalan's psychological superhero thriller Unbreakable enjoys a special August 22 screening at Davenport venue The Last Picture House, the event hosted by, and featuring a subsequent Q&A with, therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright, both of the nationally renowned podcast Cinema Therapy.

Boasting a 91-percent approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes and hailed by the site's critical consensus as "a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody," director/co-writer Edgar Wright's 2007 cult classic Hot Fuzz enjoys an outdoor screening at Rock Island's Rozz-Tox, the August 22 event treating fans to the second part of Wright's "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy" that also includes Shaun of the Dead and The World's End.

Presented as the official back-to-school pick in the venue's Garden Cinema series, the 1982 cult classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High enjoys an August 15 showing at Rock Island's Rozz-Tox, the film praised by Richard Roepner as a work that "continues to resonate as a substantial time capsule of the period," and that stands as "the best ribald teen comedy ever made."
