Based on the true story of fast draws and wild rides, battles with posses, train and bank robberies, a torrid love affair, and a new lease on outlaw life in far away Bolivia.
May 17th, around 6:30 pm, the Columbia Stage Coach will be rolling down Washington Street to kick off the last, in our season, Friday Flix at the Opera Hall! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a 1969 American Western film directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman (who won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film). Based loosely on fact, the film tells the story of Wild West outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker, known as Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), and his partner Harry Longabaugh, the "Sundance Kid" (Robert Redford), who are on the run from a crack US posse after a string of train robberies. The pair and Sundance's lover, Etta Place (Katharine Ross), flee to Bolivia in search of a more successful criminal career. In 2003, the film was selected for the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The film was also selected by the American Film Institute as the 7th greatest Western of all time in their top 10 list for 2008. |

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN

When ghosts go on a rampage, only four men can save the world.
Fired from university research jobs, Drs. Venkman, Stantz and Spengler set up shop as "Ghostbusters," hiring Zeddemore and together ridding Manhattan of bizzare apparitions. But even the spirit exterminators are severly tested when beautiful Dana Barrett and her nerdy neighbor Louis Tully become possessed by demons living in their building. Soon every spook in the city is loose and our heroes face their supreme challenge at a roof-top demonic shrine. If you want your spirits raised, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! |

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
January 11th
The 2ndSaturday Art Night Committee and the Sonora Chamber of Commerce are excited to bring to downtown Sonora, FRIDAY FLIX @ the Opera Hall.
You may have seen these movies…but not like this! This will be an INTERACTIVE movie experience.
We begin this series on January 11th, with a classic movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory released in 1971 starring Gene Wilder who was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for this role.
“A poor but hopeful boy seeks one of the five coveted golden tickets that will send him on a tour of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory. Nobody wants the prize more than young Charlie, but as his family is so poor that buying even one bar of chocolate is a treat, buying enough bars to find one of the five golden tickets is unlikely in the extreme. But in movieland, magic can happen. Charlie, along with four somewhat odious other children, get the chance of a lifetime and a tour of the factory. Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the odious children, but can Charlie beat the odds and grab the brass ring?”
How do you make a movie interactive? When you enter the “theater” you will be given a program and the first 50 people get a goodie bag. The bag will probably contain chocolate and perhaps for one lucky guest…a golden ticket and this is just the beginning! You are encouraged to sing-a-long if you know the words (hint: ompa lumpa) boo and hiss if you are so inclined and by all means enter a world of pure imagination.
