Guess what else turns 30 this year? Steven Spielberg's Hook. 

Feel old yet? No. 

Join us and celebrate this family classic. Originally penned as a sequel to J.M. Barrie's 1911 novel, Peter and Wendy, Hook focuses on an adult Peter Pan, played by our late favorite funnyman Robin Williams, who has forgotten his childhood and Neverland. Enter Captain Hook, played by Dustin Hoffman, who kidnaps his children and forces him to return to save them. He not only reunites with the Lost Boys but once again faces off with his childhood nemesis. 

Throw in music by maestro John Williams and stellar performances by all involved, and you've got yourself a cult classic you'll show your kids over and over again.

This week, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Birdcage. Based on the 1978 film and 1973 play La Cage aux Folles, this comedic cult classic takes us to Miami's South Beach, where we meet Armand and Albert, a gay couple who hide their identities when meeting their son's conservative future in-laws. Besides the film's profound moments, it was ahead of its time and packed with memorable scenes and instantly quotable one-liners.
