	Saturday, November 24 2:00 p.m. MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1944, 113 mins. MGM. Restored 35mm print.

In his first color film, Vincente Minnelli deflty organizes color around Judy Garland, moving seamlessly between song and story. Click here for series review in The New York Sun. 4:30 p.m. THE WIZARD OF OZ GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1939, 101 mins. MGM. 35mm IB Tech print. MGM's answer to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937) builds a fantasy on the foundation of color. From the Emerald City to the Yellow Brick Road, Technicolor has seldom been more fundamental to a cinematic world, or more ornate. 7:00 p.m. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1952, 102 mins. MGM. 35mm. Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly's film about the advent of the talkies is also an homage to Technicolor style and legacy, from the two-color musicals of the late 1920s to the rapturous three-color spectaculars of the 1940s.
	Sunday, November 25 2:00 p.m. GONE WITH THE WIND GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1939, 226 mins. MGM. 35mm IB Tech print. David O' Selznick's Civil War epic starring Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable pushed the limits of the Technicolor process. Directed by Victor Fleming, the film is a landmark for integrating color with light and shadow; for the first time, a Technicolor close-up could rival the nuance of black-and-white. 6:30 p.m. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN TWO BY ANG LEE 2005, 134 mins. 35mm. Ang Lee's exquisite and heart-wrenching story of forbidden love between two ranch hands (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) was a cultural milestone—and won Lee an Oscar for Best Director.
