BCC is a monthly tribute to those well-worn, latchkey-kid VHS staples, more oddball & subversive than you remember, on 35mm prints with alcoholic drinks & a real live audience Back in the latchkey-kid days of scant parental involvement, limitless freedom, and VHS tapes, there were certain films that served as comfort food—the cinematic equivalent of english muffin pizzas, crinkle cut fries or Capr
i Sun juice pouches. Over the years they've been ignored by the canon, dismissed as "so bad it's good" kitsch, and relegated to cable TV purgatory. Basic Cable Classics is a monthly tribute to those well-worn VHS staples that still hold up all these years later. Each screening in the series includes two such films, united by their respect for genre entertainment as an art form and by the fact that they tend to be fun to watch slightly intoxicated. Every month we revisit the true classics on 35mm prints, with surprise special guests, trivia to test your better-than-IMDB brains and prizes straight out of the Woolworth's bargain-bin. Past Double Features include:
Summer Lovers & Summer School
Kindergarten Cop & Conan the Barbarian
Adventures in Babysitting & Cocktail
The Last Boy Scout & Blind Fury
