• Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) stars in this 24-carat romantic comedy based on Truman Capote’s best-selling novella. George Peppard is the struggling and sponsored young writer who finds himself swept into Holly’s dizzying delightfully unstructured lifestyle as she determinedly scours Manhattan for a suitable millionaire to marry. Complimentary Mimosa’s served at the December 8th 2pm matinee. Additional dates December 7, 9, 10 

• Christmas in Acidland. It’s the wildest Christmas show ever! The Yuletide weirdness offers plenty of seasonal nostalgia heavily seasoned by kitsch including animation shorts, musical interludes from Liberace, Ricky Nelson, a tranquilized-looking Rosemary Clooney and more. December 3 & 23 

• Ghostbusters II. The sequel finds the Ghostbusters strapping on their proton packs for more hauntingly funny hijinks. This time, they must stop a medieval tyrant from using an innocent child and a river of anger-infused slime flowing under Manhattan to come back to life and conquer the world. With the AZ Ghostbusters and life-size Vigo December 14. Additional dates December 17 & 19 

• Silent Night, Deadly Night. The tale of Billy Chapmen orphaned at five after witnessing the murder of his parents at the hands of a Santa suit-clad madman on Christmas Eve. December 11 & 16 

• Nerd Nite Phoenix presents the Star Wars Holiday Special Highlights & Toy Drive with Guest Presenter Dustin Diehl. The infamous 1978 TV movie set in the Star Wars galaxy. Chewbacca and Han Solo visit the Wookiee home planet of Kashyyyk to celebrate the Wookiee holiday Life Day.  Highlights from the special will be played in conjunction with a special presentation from local Star Wars aficionado and former Ignite Phoenix Presenter Dustin Diehl. New Toys will be accepted and donated to Toys for Tots AZ. Patrons who donate will receive a FREE ticket to a future FilmBar Show. December 18 

• The Hebrew Hammer. A Jewxploitation spoof in the vein of Shaft and Austin Powers, The Hebrew Hammer is the story of Mordechai, a handsome Orthodox Jew (a.k.a. the Semitic super stud!) hired by the Jewish Justice League after discovering that Santa’s evil son — who has come to run the North Pole after staging a coup with the help of a reindeer, Blitzen — has plans to eradicate Hanukkah. With Ugly Holiday Sweater Contest December 22, additional dates December 25 & 26 

• Life of Brian. In Judea, a boy is born in a manger a short distance from and about the same time, as Jesus Christ. Three wise men from the East are for a time deceived by this proximity into believing that he is the promised Messiah, but it soon becomes apparent that he is, in fact, only a hapless peasant named Brian. However, the “Life of Brian” causes plenty of commotion for the Roman Empire and leaves him desperate to escape his burgeoning popularity. December 25 

• The Graduate. Shy Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) returns home from college with an uncertain future. Then the wife of his father’s business partner, the sexy Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), seduces him, and the affair only deepens his confusion. That is, until he meets the girl of his dreams (Katharine Ross). But there’s one problem: she’s Mrs. Robinson’s daughter! December 28, 29 & 30
