MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Main Attractions
What main films will play at the
Hiway? Predicting in advance what films
will play at our beloved one-screen
Hiway is the biggest challenge that
we face. It is very hard to know ahead
of time. The films listed here are an
educated guess. Our website is always
the best place to get up-to-the-minute
information.
Scheduling our main films is weekto-week. On Monday, we decide what
main film will play starting that Friday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the
showtimes for the upcoming week and
then update our website and telephone
hotline.
We also send out a weekly email (sign
up at our website). Sometimes, we book
a main film a few weeks in advance,
which we post on our website.

Hotline at 267-864-0065)

Doyle’s classic character. In 1947, a
retired and aging Holmes reflects upon
his life, career, and the unsolved case

appeal. Following the death of her
beloved dog, she explores new paths
and relationships and experiences

period adaptation of Flaubert’s classic
novel about a pretty, bookish country
girl who marries a dull doctor. When life
proves boring, she commences a series

Special programs
H
Summer 2015
Classic Thursdays
The Hiway Theater has a new year-round
film series: Classic Thursdays. We will have a
classic film every other Thursday night.
Dates subject to change.
Due to the fact that we are a single screen
theater, we occasionally must postpone
special classic screenings. This happens
due to unavoidable contractual obligations
with our distributors. Any change will be
announced at least a week ahead of time,
and will result in pushing the date forward
or back one week. So before you come,
please check our website or hotline for
confirmation.
Why? Because that’s how the movie biz
works.
Believe us, we wouldn’t have this “subject
to change” policy if we didn’t have to. (If we
made the rules, we’d show 3 or 4 different
films every week!) But that’s not how the
movie business works, so we must be
flexible in programing these special titles.
All things considered, this is the best way
to bring you the most varied programming
possible.
Stay up to date by email.
The best way to stay aware of everything
happening at the Hiway is to get our weekly
email. You can sign up right from our
website. Each week, we will let you know
about the Hiway’s upcoming films and
events. We’ll also let you know about the
screenings at our sister theater, the Ambler,
which members can attend for the same
member price as the Hiway.
Ticket prices for Classic Thursdays.
Our normal ticket prices apply to Classic
Thursdays, except for young cineastes:
patrons 18 and younger will only be charged
an admission of $3 for this series.
Hiway: June 18 Thurs 7:30
Date subject to change.

1959 - 2 hr 16 min - color - USA - DCP - MGM - d: Alfred Hitchcock - w/ Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason

A rollicking Technicolor tale of the legendary
English outlaw, ROBIN HOOD is regarded as

with dashing action, fine comedy, and incisive
acting.

Annie Hall
Give us your
suggestions.
1977 - 1 hr 33 min - color - PG

One of the few comedies to win the
Oscar for Best Picture, ANNIE HALL
is the unforgettable story of the
meeting, romance, and break-up of
Woody Allen’s neurotic comedian

quirky character. Lauded for its
unconventional narrative and
wonderful dialogue, this film
influenced scores of romantic
comedies that followed.
