Greetings fellow film fans:
We finally have some free movies in Laramie, including "Shane."
We're planning on showing old silent movies outdoors downtown on Friday,
July 14 from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. The three short films we're showing
are The Goat, starring Buster Keaton, Easy Street, starring Charlie
Chaplin and An Eastern Westerner, starring Harold Lloyd.
If you would like to volunteer to help show these movies during the
street dance, email me, Robert Roten (ro...@lariat.net) before Friday,
July 14.
This involves carrying projectors, film and other equipment to the site
before the film and then back to my pickup after the film. If you'd like
to learn how to run an old 16mm film projector, being a volunteer Friday
night is a good way to learn.
The projectors will be set up at the northwest corner of Second St. and
Grand Ave. (in front of Cross Country Connection). The movies (silent
Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton films) will be shown on
the side of the Music Box Building across the street.
We had done this every year from 2000 until 2016, but there were no
volunteers to help with this last summer, so it didn't happen last year.
We are also going to show the classic western "Shane" (1953) for free
at the Albany County Public Library, 8th and Grand, at 7 p.m. on Sunday,
July 16. We could use some volunteer help on that showing, too. This
event is co-sponsored by the library and the Laramie Film Society.
"Shane" is on a number of great films lists and is considered to be a
top 10 film in the Western genre by many. It was listed number 45 in
AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies list, and ranked number three in AFI's
Western genre voting. In 1993, Shane was selected for preservation in
the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as
being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.”
We've shown Westerns at the library during Jubilee Days like "High
Noon," "Rio Bravo" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" since 2008.

There are Planet of the Apes triple features, Rise of the Planet of the
Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes
today in both Laramie theaters. They begin at 4 p.m. at the Fox Theater
in 3D (six hours, 15 minutes total running time). Well, it is not for
everyone.
The same triple feature also plays in 2D at the STUDIO CITY UW + ARQ®
theater in Laramie, starting at 4:15 p.m. Enough monkey business.
It should come as no surprise that the third film in the current planet
of the apes trilogy, "War for the Planet of the Apes" opens this week at
both Laramie theaters.

Back yard movies
For Laramie Film Society members only, in July and August only. We will
show a movie of your choice in your back yard, or wherever you want
(certain restrictions apply) with Laramie Film Society's own equipment.
Contact Robert Roten (ro...@lariat.net) for more information on this
program.
Thanks to our sponsors, The Alibi Pub, Mizu Sushi restaurant and The
Pedal House, supporting all Laramie Film Society activities.
All I ask is this: Do something. Try something. Speaking out, showing
up, writing a letter, a check, a strongly worded e-mail. Pick a cause --
there are few unworthy ones. And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit
support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once.
-- Joss Whedon, writer and film director (b. 1964)

Greetings fellow film fans:
No free movies this week, but at least one promising new film is making
its way into Laramie on Thursday, July 20.
Christopher Nolan (the "Batman" trilogy) one of the best filmmakers
around, tackles the epic historic war movie genre with his new film,
"Dunkirk" opening at the Fox and Studio City UW theaters. This is
getting excellent reviews.
A lot less serious, but also epic is the Luc Beeson ("Lucy") science

Greetings fellow film fans:
We do have a free outdoor movie on Saturday night, July 29, in the patio
of the Alibi Pub Wood Fire Pizzaria and Bakery, 404 S 4th St. We're
planning on starting the movie at dark, 9 p.m., weather permitting.
I could use some help with the setup and tear down. This involves
hauling projectors, amps, speakers, the screen, assembly and disassembly
of the metal screen framework, etc. I plan to start setting up around 6 p.m.
The Saturday movie at the Alibi will be the cult classic zombie movie
The Night of the Living Dead (1968) directed by the late George Romero.
This film kick-started the modern zombie film genre. It has been
selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National
Film Registry as a culturally significant film.
Please note: Only those 21 and older will be admitted to this outdoor
film showing due to liquor license regulations. The Alibi is a sponsor

Greetings fellow film fans:
There are a couple of free outdoor movies this week in the patio of The
Alibi Pub Wood Fire Pizzaria and Bakery, 404 S 4th St.
On Saturday August 12, two Laurel and Hardy films will be shown, The
Flying Deuces (1939) and Utopia (1951) the last film starring the comedy
duo. The movies start at 8:30 p.m., weather permitting. Combined run
time is about two hours.
Please note: Only those 21 and older will be admitted to this outdoor
film showing due to liquor license regulations.
The Flying Deuces was one of the last Laurel and Hardy films produced by
Hal Roach Studios. In it, Hardy, his heart broken, decides to join the
French Foreign Legion. He drags Laurel along with him to become a
Legionnaire, with disastrous results.
Utopia (original title, Atoll K) was a French-Italian co-production
plagued by many problems, including serious health problems for both
Laurel and Hardy. This marked the end of the duo's long film career. The
story has Laurel and Hardy traveling to a remote island to claim a
property inheritance.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy both began their film careers separately
more than 100 years ago in the silent era. The two actors made 107 films
together.
Laurel and Hardy's first film together was in 1921, but it wasn't until
both men were separately signed by Hal Roach Studios that they became
one of the top comedy teams in movies. They worked 20 years with Hal
Roach, and later, for 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers studios, many
of these films were highly profitable. Stan Laurel also helped to write
many of the screenplays for their films.
In 2005, Laurel and Hardy were voted one of the 10 top comedy acts of
all time in a British poll of fellow comedians.
There are three Laurel and Hardy museums. One is in Laurel's birthplace
in England, another is in Germany, and the third is in Hardy's
birthplace in Georgia. There are over 150 chapters worldwide of the
Laurel and Hardy appreciation society, The Sons of the Desert, named
after a Laurel and Hardy film of the same name.

There are a couple of free outdoor movies this week in the patio of The
Alibi Pub Wood Fire Pizzaria and Bakery, 404 S 4th St.
On Saturday August 12, two Laurel and Hardy films will be shown, The
Flying Deuces (1939) and Utopia (1951) the last film starring the comedy
duo. The movies start at 8:30 p.m., weather permitting. Combined run
time is about two hours.

Hal Roach Studios. In it, Hardy, his heart broken, decides to join the
French Foreign Legion. He drags Laurel along with him to become a
Legionnaire, with disastrous results.
Utopia (original title, Atoll K) was a French-Italian co-production
plagued by many problems, including serious health problems for both
Laurel and Hardy. This marked the end of the duo's long film career. The
story has Laurel and Hardy traveling to a remote island to claim a
property inheritance.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy both began their film careers separately
more than 100 years ago in the silent era. The two actors made 107 films
together.
Laurel and Hardy's first film together was in 1921, but it wasn't until
both men were separately signed by Hal Roach Studios that they became
one of the top comedy teams in movies. They worked 20 years with Hal
Roach, and later, for 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers studios, many
of these films were highly profitable. Stan Laurel also helped to write
many of the screenplays for their films.
In 2005, Laurel and Hardy were voted one of the 10 top comedy acts of
all time in a British poll of fellow comedians.
There are three Laurel and Hardy museums. One is in Laurel's birthplace
in England, another is in Germany, and the third is in Hardy's
birthplace in Georgia. There are over 150 chapters worldwide of the
Laurel and Hardy appreciation society, The Sons of the Desert, named
after a Laurel and Hardy film of the same name.
