The 2006 Best Picture nominee "Little Miss Sunshine", a dark comedy about a dysfunctional family, is one of several free flicks showing at the Dallas Angelika Wednesday.
It’s times like this I wish I were an unemployed housewife, so I could spend the day in a cold movie theater watching dwarfs and hot dog vendors, suicidal teenagers and unlikely pageant girls, beautiful amnesiacs, Boston bank robbers …
What am I babbling about? In celebration of a decade-full of great movies, the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station this Wednesday, Aug. 3, will have free movie day during which they offer FREE admission to such greats as Station Agent (the dwarf and the hot dog guy), Mulholland Drive (amnesiac), Little Miss Sunshine (suicidal teen and pageant girl), 500 Days of Summer, Children of Men, Bend it Like Beckham and The Town (bank robbers) (full list here).
Yep – the Angelika at Mockingbird Station is 10 years old. Still seems new, doesn’t it? It’s been the go-to place for some of the decade’s best movies — not necessarily the mainstream faves, but some incredible stuff, and just a hop skip and a jump from our neighborhood!
