Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst), the daughter of hard-drinking mom Annette (Ellen Barkin), and Becky Leeman (Denise Richards), who is motivated by her former beauty-queen mother, Gladys (Kirstie Alley), are among the top contenders in an annual beauty pageant in small-town Minnesota that turns ridiculously competitive — and ultimately into a literal glitter-soaked death match. Fargo meets Miss Congeniality. Twin Cities sensation Leslie Vincent brings the GLAM to the Parkway stage with a not-to-be-missed opening set.

The glow of the holidays is behind us as we stare down the cold, grey Minnesota winter. So let’s get inside and laugh together! Afraid of commitment? You can always buy tickets to the individual films as well!

Kick off the new year with the next installment of this special series, pairing music from one of the best jazz movie soundtracks along with an acclaimed movie! 

It's the short film competition where YOU and other audience members decide what's worthy of the silver screen by yelling "GONG" or "LET IT PLAY.”

Nine intertwined stories examine the complexities of the one emotion that connects us all: love. David (Hugh Grant), the handsome newly elected British prime minister, falls for a young junior staffer (Martine McCutcheon); Sarah (Laura Linney), is unable to balance her office love life with her devotion to her mentally ill brother; Harry (Alan Rickman), a married man, is tempted by his attractive new secretary; and Jamie (Colin Firth) falls for his Portuguese housekeeper. Because nothing says Christmas like inappropriate workplace romance! Join us before the movie for a live music set by Colin Bracewell!

When bratty 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) acts out the night before a family trip to Paris, his mother (Catherine O'Hara) makes him sleep in the attic. After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true. But his excitement sours when he realizes that two con men (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the family home. Think Die Hard but with less swearing and the same amount of gratuitous violence!

New York City policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) is visiting his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and two daughters on Christmas Eve. He joins her at a holiday party in the headquarters of the Japanese-owned business she works for. But the festivities are interrupted by a group of terrorists (led by Alan Rickman) who take over the exclusive high-rise, and everyone in it. Very soon McClane realizes that there's no one to save the hostages — but himself and the true meaning of Christmas. Rated R (it helps if you say it in a really low voice).

Buddy (Will Ferrell) was accidentally transported to the North Pole as a toddler and raised to adulthood among Santa's elves. Unable to shake the feeling that he doesn't fit in, the adult Buddy travels to New York in search of his real father — Walter Hobbs (James Caan), a cynical businessman. Walter reluctantly attempts to start a relationship with Buddy, leading to emotional growth and public singing.

As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) is obsessed with having the perfect family Christmas, much to the chagrin of wife Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo). Things go awry when his hick cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) and his family show up, Clark's employers renege on the holiday bonus, and his children are recast for the second time in a row.

Join us at the Parkway Theater for the Mille Movie Club in "reel" life! Cocktails in the lobby from 6-7 pm, followed by a screening of Moonstruck.

George Bailey (James Stewart) has so many problems, he is thinking about ending it all — and it's Christmas! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback. As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence (Henry Travers) — who then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn't been for all his good deeds over the years. George realizes that he has actually had a wonderful life and runs through the town, screaming like a maniac.

In this live-action adaptation of the beloved children's tale by Dr. Seuss, the reclusive green Grinch (Jim Carrey) decides to ruin Christmas for the cheery citizens of Whoville. Reluctantly joined by his hapless dog, Max, the Grinch comes down from his mountaintop home and sneaks into town to swipe everything holiday-related from the Whos. However, the bitter grump finds a hitch in his plans when he encounters the endearing Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen). Jim Carrey turns in a delightfully subdued performance.

A gadget salesman (Hoyt Axton) is looking for a special gift for his son (Zach Galligan) and finds one at a store in Chinatown. The shopkeeper (Keye Luke) is reluctant to sell him the `mogwai' but sells it to him with the warning to never expose him to bright light, water, or to feed him after midnight. All of this happens and the result is a gang of gremlins that decide to tear up the town on Christmas Eve. After the past year, though, maybe the Gremlins deserve Christmas more than us.

Celebrate the holiday season with a screening of the epic madcap, slapstick, gotta-see-it, you-ain’t-seen-nothing-like-it comedy Hundreds of Beavers at The Parkway!

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, and Sam the Eagle are along for the ride, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases — past, present, and future — all while seemingly unaware that he is a human surrounded by puppets.

It's the short film competition where YOU and other audience members decide what's worthy of the silver screen by yelling "GONG" or "LET IT PLAY.”

Dumped and depressed, English rose Iris (Kate Winslett) agrees to swap homes with similarly unlucky in love Californian Amanda (Cameron Diaz) for a much-needed break. While Amanda navigates the lanes of a picture-perfect English village, bumping into local lad Graham (Jude Law) — Iris finds herself in a palatial Hollywood mansion where she has a romantic run-in with Miles (Jack Black). Kate Winslet would later sue the casting director. Come early for a live music set by Favorite Girl!

The actor and filmmaker known for his eccentric brilliance is back on the road with a new project and tribute to his late father, veteran actor Bruce Glover. 

When the woodworker Geppetto (Christian Rub) sees a falling star, he wishes that the puppet he just finished, Pinocchio (Dickie Jones), could become a real boy. In the night, the Blue Fairy (Evelyn Venable) grants Geppetto's wish and asks Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards) to serve as the wooden boy's conscience. But the naive and trusting Pinocchio falls into the clutches of the wicked Honest John (Walter Catlett), who leads him astray to the sinful Pleasure Island — proving that if your nose doesn’t grow from lying, it probably will from peer pressure. 

Neal Page (Steve Martin) is an advertising executive who just wants to fly home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family. But all he gets is misery in the form of Del Griffith (John Candy) — a loud-mouthed, but nevertheless lovable salesman, who leads Neal on a cross-country wild goose chase that keeps Neal just out of arm’s reach of tasting his turkey. As a bonus, sitting in a darkened theater with your family will offer a welcome respite from arguing about politics. Come early for a pre-movie set of toe-tapping, two-tone tunes from Meatraffle SKA!

In New York, mysterious radioactive ooze has mutated four sewer turtles into talking, upright-walking, crime-fighting ninjas. The intrepid heroes — Michelangelo (Michelan Sisti & Robbie Rist), Donatello (Leif Tilden & Corey Feldman), Raphael (Josh Pais), and Leonardo (David Forman & Brian Tochi) — are trained in the Ninjutsu arts by their rat sensei, Splinter (Kevin Clash). The heroes must face off against the villainous Shredder — an evil ex-roommate of Splinter’s who apparently decided the best way to fight crime was by committing more of it.

As America's stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall). Enter the Rockford Peaches: an all-female professional baseball team led by superstar Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis), her scrappy sister Kit Keller (Lori Petty), a chain-smoking scout (Jon Lovitz), and a washed-up coach (Tom Hanks). Together, they battle their way to fame and glory — though still for a fraction of the pay of male professional athletes. Presented by A Bar of Their Own!

On his way to school, Bastian (Barret Oliver) ducks into a bookstore to avoid bullies. Sneaking away with a book called "The Neverending Story," Bastian begins reading it in the school attic. The novel is about Fantasia, a fantasy land threatened by "The Nothing," a darkness that destroys everything it touches. The kingdom needs the help of a human child to survive. When Bastian reads a description of himself in the book, he begins to wonder if Fantasia is real and needs him to survive. Contrary to the film title’s implication, the runtime is 1 hour and 47 minutes.

Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe), a teen down on his luck, works as a caddy at the snob-infested Bushwood Country Club to raise money for his college education. In an attempt to gain votes for a college scholarship reserved for caddies, Noonan volunteers to caddy for a prominent and influential club member (Ted Knight). Meanwhile, Danny struggles to prepare for the high pressure Caddy Day golf tournament while absorbing New Age advice from wealthy golf guru Ty Webb (Chevy Chase). But you already knew all of that, as well as every line of dialogue. Also starring a very subdued Rodney Dangerfield.

After being institutionalized and barely escaping electric shock therapy (this is a kid’s movie, folks!), Dorothy (Fairuza Balk) discovers she is back in the Land of Oz, and finds the yellow brick road is now a pile of rubble and the Emerald City is in ruins. Discovering that the magical land is now under the control of an evil empire, she sets off to rescue the Scarecrow (Justin Case), the Tin Man, and the Lion with the help of her new friends in the original Oz sequel/prequel no one asked for.

It's the short film competition where YOU and other audience members decide what's worthy of the silver screen by yelling "GONG" or "LET IT PLAY.”
