THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) dir Jim Henson and Frank Oz w/Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Kathryn Mullen [93 min; DCP]

LABYRINTH (1986) dir Jim Henson w/David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly [101 min; DCP]
LABYRINTH is a modern-day Alice in Wonderland that pits a teen (Connelly) against the Goblin King (a perfectly cast David Bowie) in an attempt to rescue her kidnapped baby brother. Full of Jim Henson’s typically imaginative creature design, the film’s eye-popping sets, including the M.C. Escher inspired castle, create a wholly believable world existing just behind the facade of reality.

MUPPET MOVIE SINGALONG (1978) dir James Frawley w/Kermit, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and the whole Muppet gang + Charles Durning, Milton Berle, Mel Brooks, James Coburn, Dom DeLuise, Elliott Gould, Bob Hope, Madeline Kahn, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Telly Savalas and Orson Welles [95 min; Digital]
An origin tale for everyone’s favorite troupe of felt-skinned entertainers, THE MUPPET MOVIE follows Kermit the Frog from his humble beginnings as a swamp-bound crooner to his current place as an internationally renowned writer/director/actor. Come sing along with the Muppets during this special singalong screening – we’ll project the lyrics on screen so you can feel like you’re truly one of the gang!
