In celebration of its 30th anniversary, the endlessly quotable, always fashionable, hilariously iconic 90s rom-com Clueless returns to select theaters nationwide on Sunday, June 29 and Monday, June 30, courtesy of Fathom Entertainment and Paramount Pictures. 

Starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, and Brittany Murphy, the 1995 film is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma. 

Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is the most popular and glamorous girl at Beverly Hills High. Although she may be the envy of scheming Betties and persistent Barneys, she has an innate drive to help those less fortunate, especially when it comes to love. Despite her total confidence in knowing what’s best for others, Cher is totally clueless when it comes to her own heart.

Each screening features an exclusive introduction by cinema critic and historian Leonard Maltin, discussing the landmark film’s timeless appeal and offering special insight into the classic motion picture.

Locally the film will be screened at AMC Loews Stony Brook 17, Island Cinema de Lux in Holtsville and Showcase Cinema de Lux in Farmingdale. To purchase tickets in advance, visit www.fathomentertainment.com.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Monty Python and the Holy Grail will return to select theaters nationwide on Sunday, May 4, and Wednesday, May 7, courtesy of Fathom Entertainment.

“Fathom Entertainment has prided itself in bringing classic and cult classic films back to the big screen where they deserve to be enjoyed by fans – old and new alike. Few classic comedy films top the great Monty Python and the Holy Grail in terms of legendary status. Fathom is delighted to bring it back to theaters upon its 50th anniversary,” said Ray Nutt, Chief Executive Officer at Fathom Entertainment.

Grossing the highest box-office of any British film in the U.S. when released in 1975, this “cult classic” comedy from the Monty Python team loosely follows the legend of King Arthur (Graham Chapman), along with his squire (Terry Gilliam) and his Knights of the Round Table (John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin), as they embark on a fearless quest in search of the elusive Holy Grail.

Locally, participating theaters include AMC Loews Stony Brook 17, Island 16: Cinema de Lux in Holtsville, Regal Cinemas in Deer Park, Showcase Cinemas de lux in Farmindale and Regal UA in Farmingdale.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at Fathom Entertainment in advance or at participating theater box offices.
