An unconventional single mother relocates with her two daughters to a small Massachusetts town in 1963, where a number of events and relationships both challenge and strengthen their familial bonds. Starring Cher, Winona Ryder, Christina Ricci & Bob Hoskins. "Tells its story (which is as much about mom's coming of age as the kids') in a nice mix of daft comedy and dramatic set pieces... Terms of Endearment without the tearjerking." - Miami Herald "It's sweet and funny one moment, melodramatic and contrived the next. Blending the moods, and often holding the film together through sheer force of personality, Ryder gives her most affecting performance to date." - Seattle Times COME EARLY! Doors 3pm, pre-show 3:30pm - Go in the draw to WIN a gorgeous Mothers Day gift.

R18Sex scenes

Something is wrong with Anna (Isabelle Adjani). Having taken a lover, she abruptly asks her husband, Mark (Sam Neill), for divorce. He's desperate for an explanation, but Anna's answers are elusive at best. She's in crisis – becoming emotional, avoidant, self-harming, and neglectful of their son. Mark has no idea, but behind her increasingly erratic behavior is a monstrous secret. The films of Andrzej Żuławski lie beyond narrative, emotion, and sanity. POSSESSION is a raw depiction of the monstrosity of marital strife and the fear of female sexuality. A Hollywood favorite combining existential dread with doppelgangers, blood, and body horror, POSSESSION is truly one of a kind. COME EARLY! Doors 7pm, pre-show 7:30pm

Rocky Horror “the longest running movie in history” became a sanctuary for people who saw themselves as outsiders, especially queer and gender-nonconforming people. It now unites everyone. No longer mere movie-goers, they became a tribe and kept coming back, week after week. Jan Grefstad made The Hollywood Rocky Horror’s rightful NZ home, the first to screen it as a midnight movie that ran from 1978 to 1988. Come back to it's home at The Hollywood - get dressed up and ready to dance, but please leave the rice at home! COME EARLY! Doors 7pm, pre-show 7:30pm
