Rated PG <imdb>
Traveling with her father’s theatre troupe through war torn Europe, little Sally Salt has seen it all. Frankly, she’s unimpressed with both reality and fantasy—until the day she meets the most famous liar in history. Tall tales keep the Baron young and adventure keeps him a step ahead of Death. Suddenly the whole world seems richer and more fantastic and she can’t get enough! Were life’s special effects always this good?

The Big Sleep (1946)
Directed by Howard Hawks
Not Rated <imdb>
You know you’re in good hands with a screenplay by William Faulkner based on the novel by Raymond Chandler. Step into a world of suspense and intrigue where danger lurks in every shadow. The immortal Humphrey Bogart portrays private detective Philip Marlowe and Lauren Bacall plays her part as a smart and classy rich girl as only she can. This film noir thriller set the standard.

Miracle on 34th Street
Directed by George Seaton (1947)
All Ages <imdb>
Of course Santa Claus is real! And this classic film really is as funny and charming as you remember… When Kris Kringle is called to fill in as a department store Santa, he can’t help getting involved with the two saddest people in the world: divorced businesswoman Maureen O’Hara and serious-minded Natalie Wood—a little girl with no use for her imagination. They’re a tough pair; even Kris loses his faith for a second. But in the end, the spirit of the season will triumph, Macy’s will make peace with Gimbels and Santa Claus will receive his mail. “It’s silly, but I believe!”

Everybody knows what happens when you wish upon a star… Walt Disney’s painterly masterpiece about a marionette come to life will look like a mural come to life when projected on our big screen. They don’t make wooden little boys like this anymore.
