SIFF

David Lynch fans rejoice, for SIFF is spending an entire week dedicated to the director of some of the oddest – and best – films of the last thirty-plus years. The retrospective includes nearly all of Lynch’s films, such as Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr.  and even a collection of his shorts. Additionally, SIFF is playing Spielberg’s classic E.T., the Norman Foster doc How Much Does Your Building Weight, Mr. Foster? and a double feature of Means Girls and Fight Club.

Central Cinema

It’s all about one movie this week at CC, Indians Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Landmark Theatres

Midnight Madness for the week is John Carptener’s cult classic Big Trouble in Little China.

The Grand Illusion Cinema

Two distinctly different movies in the U District; Independent Spirit Award nominee Littlerock, which focuses on a pair of Japanese siblings making their way in Los Angeles, and the one-take horror film The Silent House.

Northwest Film Forum

Samuel Fuller’s House of Bamboo is the sole fiction work on Cap Hill. A pair of documentaries are showing too; the city-planning holdover Urbanized and El Sicario, Room 164, a simple interview with a notorious Mexican cartel assassin.
