What’s not to like? Mamma Mia has it all: Your favorite ABBA songs sung by Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, and a cast of other attractive stars (Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried, Stellan Skarsgard, to name a few). There’s dancing and frolicking and a big family wedding all on a small sundrenched Greek Island. Ok, so Pierce can’t sing—no big surprise, but wait, this version of the summer’s hit musical invites you to sing along! Feel free to sing even WORSE than Pierce! The words to each and every song will magically appear on the screen. So warm up those vocal chords, bring your friends, and come prepared to belt it out at the Pickford. We’ll keep the aisles clear in case you want to do a little dancing of your own.

Sparrows
Friday Only!
107 minutes • 1926 • USA • Silent • In English • Unrated
Hidden deep in the Southern swamps, the Grimes family operates a "baby farm" where unwanted or "lost" children are cruelly underfed and overworked. Mama Mollie (Pickford), the oldest of the kids, protects the others as best she can and keeps up their courage by telling them that God watches over them just as He does the smallest sparrow. When the police close in to rescue a kidnapped two-year-old who has been stashed at the farm, Grimes makes plans to throw the toddler into the bog. To save her little "sparrows," Mama Mollie leads them on an escape through the alligator-infested swamp in one of the most harrowing scenes in cinema history. This powerful Gothic suspense thriller was based on 1920s news reports of real life baby farms. Sparrows' elaborate sets and magnificent cinematography create a nightmare world that later inspired the classic film Night of the Hunter.

Stella Maris
Saturday Only!
100 minutes • 1918 • USA • Silent • In English • Unrated
From 1916 to 1919, the team of Mary Pickford, scriptwriter Frances Marion and director Marshall Neilan advanced the art of film to a greater degree than perhaps any American director of their day - even D.W. Griffith. With subtle acting and exquisite filmmaking technique, the two produced some of the finest silent films of all time. And Stella Maris can be considered the apex of their work together.
