John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre in 35mm at the Vista

From the event description:

 In August, on four successive Saturdays, we'll be showing the original movie (the inspiration) as our morning matinee and the movie it birthed (the inspired) in our midnight slot. First up, we screen John Huston's 1948 masterpiece, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," which filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson watched countless times as he thought of than wrote his own masterpiece "There Will Be Blood." Huston's original is based on a book by mysterious author B Traven. It tells the story of down-on-his-luck Fred Dobbs (played with anti-heroic commitment by Humphrey Bogart) who, stranded in Mexico, befriends fellow vagabonds Tim Holt and Walter Huston (director Huston's own father).

When: Saturday, Aug. 10, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Where: Vista Theatre, 4473 Sunset Drive
Price: $12.75 - $72

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991 Heisei) at the Vista

From the event description:

One of the great things about how long the Godzilla series has lasted is that new cycles allow the moviemakers to remake/re-imagine/re-invision some of the earlier entries and make them better. Such is clearly the case with "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah," the 1991 version, the third movie in the Heisi era (which began with "The Return of Godzilla" in 1984).

When: Sunday, Aug. 11, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Where: Vista Theatre, 4473 Sunset Drive
Price: $12.75 - $20
