West Side Story (1961) – June 9

Dancing, singing and just the right amount of snaps, “West Side Story” is a modern interpretation of “Romeo & Juliet.” When Maria falls in love with a boy from the wrong gang, they must keep their relationship a secret. What ensues is the climax of a family feud where the last man standing wins.

North By Northwest (1959) – July 7

What’s a classic film series without a little Alfred Hitchcock?

Starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint, this thriller features murder and romantic intrigue. Grant’s character, Roger Thornhill, travels across the country to escape the rumors in New York. Accompanied by his lover, Saint’s Eve Kendall, the couple learns that all secrets must come to the light and who they can really trust.

Some Like It Hot (1959) – August 11

The perfect title for a perfect hot summer day, “Some Like It Hot” is a comedy starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe.

When Joe (Curtis) and Jerry (Lemmon) witness a gang murder, the two must go on the run as women. During their time as the opposite gender, they encounter the most unexpected of predicaments, including Ms. Sugar Kane Kowalczyk.

Considered one of the best comedies ever made, this film will have you laughing from start to finish.
