On Oct. 7, see “Pirates of the Carib- bean” (2003) starring Johnny Depp, Geof- frey Rush, and Keira Knightley. Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor’s daughter, from Jack’s former pirate allies, who are now undead. The film is rated PG-13 and runs for 143 minutes. There will be a screening of “Hitchcock” (2012) on Oct. 14. The film stars Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren. In 1959, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma, were at the top of their creative game as filmmakers. Despite opposition, Alfred decided his next film would be an adaptation of the lurid horror novel, “Psycho.” While Alfred self- financed and labored on this film, Alma finally lost patience with his roving eye and controlling habits with his actresses. The movie is rated PG and is 98 minutes long. “Psycho” (1960) will be shown on Oct. 21. This film stars Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. A Phoenix secretary who stole $40,000 from her employer goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man dominated by his mother. The humdrum first 20 minutes then lead into one of the most shocking and suspenseful films of all time. The film is rated R and is 109 minutes long. “Arsenic and Old Lace” will be pre- sented on Oct. 28. The film stars Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Raymond Massey, and Peter Lorre. Mortimer Brewster is an author known for his diatribes against mar- riage, yet in the opening scene it is Hallow- een and he is getting married at City Hall to his neighbor, Elaine. Later, while Mortimer tries to tell his good news to his two single aunts, he finds out his aunts’ hobby: kill- ing lonely old men and burying them in the cellar. This Frank Capra classic is a dark screwball comedy highlighted by Grant’s priceless facial expressions. The film is not rated and runs for 118 minutes.
