Gulliver's Travels (1939) - 1:00pm

Gulliver washes ashore on Lilliput and attempts to prevent war between that tiny kingdom and its equally-miniscule rival, Blefiscu, as well as smooth the way for the romance between the Princess and Prince of the opposing lands. In this he is alternately aided and hampered by the Lilliputian town crier and general fussbudget, Gabby. A life-threatening situation develops when the bumbling trio of Blefiscu spies, Sneak, Snoop, and Snitch, manage to steal Gulliver's pistol. Rated G.

Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989) - 12:00pm & 3:00pm

Sponsored by Realtor Katherine Gannon

Suburban scientist Wayne Szalinski’s (Rick Moranis) colleagues wouldn't be laughing now if they could see his kids. Zapped by their dad’s electronic magnetic shrinking invention, the children suddenly find themselves at eye-level with the ants. Swept up and put out with the trash, the tiny troupe must begin a thrill-filled adventure of "size"-mic proportions as they try to keep from being stepped on by their parents, eaten by the family dog, or shredded by a menacing lawnmower. Rated PG.

Rear Window (1954) - 6:00pm & 9:00pm

Sponsored by Realtor Katherine Gannon

Wheelchair-bound photojournalist L.B. Jeffries (James Stewart) and his beautiful fiancee Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly) spy on their neighbors and then solve a brutal murder no one else believes occurred. Unavailable for more than 20 years, Hitchcock’s REAR WINDOW is an eloquently entertaining, exhilarating, and bittersweet film. Rated PG.
