John Hughes' film about a "righteous dude" (Matthew Broderick) whose determination to have a day off from school and show his friends the best day of their lives (in spite of a vengeful principle), makes this film one of the most iconic teen comedies ever made.

Friday, June 21: FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS (Hosted by Paul Anthony)
Hunter S. Thompson's drug-fueled and alcohol-soaked memoir of "gonzo journalism" was long-considered to be unfilmable, until Terry Gilliam turned it into the star-studded psychedelic road trip that we know and love as FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. Featuring memorable turns from Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro, Tobey Maguire, and many more. Sometimes, what happens in Vegas should be shared with the world.

"Plastics." Mike Nichols took home the Oscar for directing the THE GRADUATE, which made a star out of newcomer Dustin Hoffman for his portrayal of Benjamin, a recent college graduate who starts an illicit affair with the wife of his father's business partner, the alluring Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). Things get more complicated when Benjamin does the unthinkable, falling for Mrs. Robinson's daughter, Elaine (Katharine Ross). Featuring an unforgettable soundtrack by Simon & Garfunkel.
