NOT NECESSARILY NOIR

HARDCORE
A straight-laced Michigan businessman travels to Los Angeles in order to find his teenage runaway daughter. The sleazy private eye he hires to help in his search turns up disturbing news: the girl has been pulled against her will into the dangerous and degrading world of pornography! With all the ticking tension of a time bomb, this thinly disguised modern-day urbanization of John Ford's classic western The Searchers emerges as one of the most shattering personal dramas of the 70s. "Oh my God, that's my daughter!" Starring George C. Scott, Peter Boyle, Season Hubley, Dick Sargent, and Leonard Gaines. Written and directed by Paul Schrader. In COLOR. 35mm Studio Print. 109 mins. 1979. THURS at 8:00 only!

ROLLING THUNDER
An army officer, freed after seven years in a Vietnamese POW camp, returns home to a hero's welcome—a hot new car and a suitcase full of silver dollars—only to find a new nightmare awaiting him as a gang of vicious thugs rip him off and in the process murder his wife and young kid. What then begins is a relentless quest for vengeance that will only be over after everyone responsible has paid the ultimate price. A low-budget exploitation shocker with a deep, dark emotional twist and a personal acknowledged favorite of Quentin Tarantino. Starring the remarkably intense William Devane in the role of a lifetime, Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Haines, and Dabney Coleman. Written by Paul Schrader. Directed by John Flynn. In COLOR. 35mm Studio Print. 95 mins. 1977.
THURS at 6:00 and 10:00
