Our new comedy series really funny, chosen by john landis!
|
The Sag Harbor Cinema has invited John Landis - director of Animal House and An American Werewolf in London - to be its first guest curator.
Really Funny promises an irreverent summer with a selection of ten titles chosen by one of the finest names in American comedy. Covering an ample portion of film history, Landis' selection spans from Laurel & Hardy to Howard Hawks, Mel Brooks and Melissa McCarthy, and includes lesser known treasures, ready to be rediscovered as Elaine May’s A New Leaf, made in 1971. “Comedy is the most unforgiving of genres. You either laugh or you don’t. Highbrow, lowbrow, witty words or just slapstick, if it makes you laugh then it's successful. These are of some of the many motion pictures that make me laugh. And laughter is the best way to deal with so much of life”, says Landis of his selection. |
All screenings start at 6:00pm
Tickets are $10 online and at the door: online sales close at 3pm.
All films will be presented at Pierson High School Auditorium, 200 Jermain Ave, Sag Harbor, NY

Sunday, March 17, 2019, 3pm Pierson High School Auditorium, 200 Jermain Ave, Sag Harbor, NY Directed by Gregory La Cava in 1933, GABRIEL OVER THE WHITE HOUSE stars Walter Huston as Judson Hammond, a recently elected American president and a hack who becomes a true man of action and principle after a violent car crash. Congress starts impeachment proceedings, to which he reacts with a string of less than democratic measures. After attending a pre-screening of the film, an infuriated Louis B. Mayer intimated to his assistant to “put that picture back in its can, take it back to the studio, and lock it up!”. Bruce Goldstein has been the Repertory Program Director of the Film Forum since 1986 and received a special New York Film Critics Circle award for visionary programming. His now-iconic repertory format created more than 400 film festivals. Among his many achievements are the popularization of “Pre-Code” movies as a distinct genre; his early series “Movies in Scope,” which helped create a public demand for the letterboxing of videos; and the reputation of Film Forum as flagship theater for new prints and restorations. In 1997, he founded Rialto Pictures, a distribution company specializing in classic re-releases |

ALL THE WAY
Sunday, March 31, 2019, at 3pm Pierson High School Auditorium, 200 Jermain Ave, Sag Harbor, NY Directed by Jay Roach in 2016, ALL THE WAY stars Bryan Cranston as President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Both the play and the film describe Johnson’s efforts to muster support from Congress and among the civil rights leaders (Martin Luther King Jr. is played by Anthony Mackie), for the Civil Rights Act; and to get it passed. “In Cranston’s hands, this accidental president comes across as an amazing bundle of contradictions, someone who seems at once too vulgar for the job and just right for it”, wrote ‘New York Times’ television critic Neil Genzlinger when the film was released. Robert Schenkkan is a playwright, screenwriter and actor. He received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1992 (for The Kentucky Cycle) and a Tony Award for Best Play for All the Way, in 2014. His films include the screenplay for The Quiet American (2002), based on Graham Greene’s novel and directed by Phillip Noyce, and Hacksaw Ridge, co-written with director Mel Gibson in 2016.
