Galaxy Quest (Dean Parisot, 1999)
Thanks to hilarious dialogue and stand-out performances from its all-star cast – including Alan Rickman, Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Enrico Colanltoni, Justin Long, and Missi Pyle – sci-fi parody Galaxy Quest has officially taken on a life of its own as an out-of-this-world cult-comedy. Kitschy, campy, and fun, Galaxy Quest is a total send-up of both Hollywood and the enterprise of science fiction franchises.

The Outsiders (Francis Ford Coppola, 1983)
The Outsiders is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by S.E. Hinton (who also wrote the screenplay). Besides being considered one of the best “teen dramas” ever made, the film is especially notable for its remarkable ensemble cast – including C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Diane Lane, Leif Garrett and Tom Waits.

Kung Fury (David Sandberg, 2015) and Manborg (Steven Kostanski, 2011)
Together as a Friday Late Night Movie event: Both of these indie short films have won legions of fans (and racked up crazy viral love) for their imagination and technical ingenuity, so we thought it was a good idea to pair them together for some big screen time. This will be a seriously fun Friday Late Night you do not want to miss.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (Mike Judge, 1996)

Featuring the voices of Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Cloris Leachman, Robert Stack, Eric Bogosian, David Spade, David Letterman, and Greg Kinnear.
