This Is Spinal Tap

Saturday, February 7 at 7 PM

Strand Theatre 

Actor and Director Rob Reiner passed away a few weeks ago, and Bill Justice wanted to sponsor one of Reiner's many great films. We chose his first as a director: This Is Spinal Tap.


Reiner appears in the film along with Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, and Christopher Guest as the most unforgettable rock legends who never existed.



Hilarious, but all too accurate, at the same time.


"These go to eleven." — Nigel Tufnel


"It's such a fine line between stupid, and uh… clever." — Nigel Tufnel


"Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation." — David St. Hubbins 

"We're very lucky, in a sense, that we have two visionaries in the band... It's like fire and ice, basically... I feel my role in the band is to be kind of in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water." — Derek Smalls. 


"Well, this piece is called 'Lick My Love Pump.'" — Nigel Tufnel. 


"Doormen? No, not really. They just... they let us in." — David St. Hubbins. 


"Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported." — Ian Faith. 


"The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand." — Song lyric from 'Big Bottom' in This Is Spinal Tap 

 

"We've got armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening." — Nigel Tufnel


Tickets are available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse in advance for $9. They will be $10 at the door...


Look, when it's cold outside, it will likely be pretty cold in the Strand. Dress accordingly.


Free popcorn!!!

Charade Free at the Strand Theatre Friday after Thanksgiving


Gary Sessums is sponsoring a Thanksgiving gift for all at the Strand Theatre: a free showing of the film "Charade", a romantic comedy starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in what's been called "the best Alfred Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never made." Co-starring Walter Matthau, James Coburn, and George Kennedy; Charade is a suspenseful thriller that blends suspense, romance, and comedy.

The ending, as in every self-respecting suspense movie, is a dramatic climax. In the movie's denouement, the real villains are revealed. (it is not the butler)

In that spirit of Thanksgiving we are inviting you to make donations to River City Rescue Mission.

Celebrate Thanksgiving with us at the Strand.

It's a free movie, suitable for all ages, and did we mention the free popcorn?
