The 1970s were a swinging time. Whether you were a sailor on a mission, a private investigator on a case, a public servant encountering an alien invasion, or an employee stealing cash, in the back of your mind, you were on the lookout for a willing partner and a casual tumble.
Experience the self-indulgent decade of free love and “me” with four A-list pictures on Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
On October 6, see The Last Detail (1973), starring Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid. Navy lifers Billy Buddusky and Richard Mulhall show naïve sailor Larry Meadows the time of his life as they escort him to a prison in Maine.
On October 13, watch Night Moves (1975), starring Gene Hackman and Melanie Griffith. Weary Los Angeles private detective Harry Moseby locates a 16-year-old runaway and stumbles into a cross-country conspiracy in the Florida Keys.
On October 20, enjoy Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), starring Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams. San Francisco Health Department investigators Elizabeth Driscoll and Matthew Bennell realize that people are being replaced by unemotional duplicates.
On October 27, come for the breathtaking finale to our Swinging 70s film series, and see a movie Roger Ebert called "an intelligent, well-acted, and very scary thriller with a clockwork plot worthy of Hitchcock."
This event is free and open to all.
