My friends,

I'm excited to annouce that my favorite movie theater has announced its Fall 2008 lineup for The Heart of Lancaster Presents!  (If you do not recall from my earlier post, this film series presents one vintage film each Monday night at 7pm.  The cost is $9.00 per person.)

The list of fourteen films actually includes two of the films I had suggested in my previous post--The Shawshank Redemption (November 10th) and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (November 24th)!

Getting to Penn Cinema is dead simple, even with a construction snafu.  From points north, take 222 South and get off at the 772 exit for Brownstown.  Make a right at the end of the ramp, then an immediate left-hand turn onto Route 272 South.  Normally, you'd turn right onto Route 722, but the bridge is out, so you'll stay on Route 272 past 722 and make your next available right-hand turn onto Creek Road.  You'll spend about a half-mile at most on Creek Road, then make a left onto 722 (you've bypassed the bridge construction).  After about two miles on Route 722, you'll make a right-hand turn onto Airport Road, and Penn Cinema will be on your left very soon.

I visited the theater thrice this summer and--despite the fact that my Obama car magnet was swiped on my third visit while I was enjoying a film just a couple of weeks ago--I have been thoroughly impressed.

Here's the complete listing:

Sept. 8       Gladiator
Sept. 15     Sleepless in Seattle
Sept. 22     Psycho
Sept. 29     Grease
Oct. 6         Sixteen Candles
Oct. 13       On the Waterfront
Oct. 20      The Wizard of Oz
Oct. 27      Ghostbusters
Nov. 3        Roman Holiday
Nov. 10     The Shawshank Redemption
Nov. 17     Rocky
Nov. 24     Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Dec. 1         A Christmas Story
Dec. 8        The Polar Express

Enjoy!
