RAGING BULL 45th Anniversary! Sunday, March 9th 7:00pm

A Film Martin Scorsese didn't initially want to make, Scorsese reached new heights with this bold take on the American boxing film. This film has been said to have saved Scorsese's filmmaking career in America and helped him overcome a serious battle with drug addiction. Raging Bull is often cited as one of the great American films and 45 years on it still packs a punch. |

After Hours 40th Anniversay Sunday, March 16th 7:00pm
|
This high energy odyssey of late night New York's pleasures and perils is an often overlooked gem from one of cinema's most creative voices. Over the years it has become a favourite of Scorsese fans and has inspired many of today's contemporary filmmakers with its non-stop pacing and audacious sense of humour. |

CASINO
30th Anniversary Sunday, March 23rd 7:00pm
|
Scorsese's sprawling desert crime epic was a defining film of the 90s. Blending elements of all his previous crime films, he turns focus to Las Vegas and the corrupt casino industry to shed light on crime in America as a whole. Scorsese held nothing back in this epic of extravagance, excess and greed. One of his most highly regarded films, it is not hard to see why people still talk about it 30 years later. |

GoodFellas 35th Anniversary Friday, March 28th 9:00pm Sunday, March 30th 3pm
|
Considered by many to be Scorsese's crowning achievement, GoodFellas has left an undeniable stamp on cinema history. From all-star performances, a timeless soundtrack, endlessly quotable scenes, and some of the most electric directing and editing in mainstream cinema, it isn't hard to see why it is a favourite among cinephiles and casual audiences alike. |
