A film buff's bonus: in-person stars with favorite movies

For $25, ticketholders to Wednesday night's sold-out American Film Institute anniversary event will get more than popcorn, soda, and a seat for a classic movie; they'll also get to ogle some of the very stars in the movies. To celebrate the 40th year of the AFI, the largest nonprofit film exhibitor and cinematic arts educator in the US, live introductions to each of 11 films shown at the Arclight Hollywood complex will be given by a legendary star in the film or the filmmaker. The lineup, with the year of the movie's release, and the presenter:

  • "Spartacus" (1960) Kirk Douglas
  • "The Birds" (1963) Tippi Hedren
  • "The Sound of Music" (1965) Julie Andrews
  • "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) Warren Beatty
  • "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) Jack Nicholson
  • "Rocky" (1976) Sylvester Stallone
  • "Star Wars – Episode IV: A New Hope" (1977) George Lucas
  • "When Harry Met Sally" (1989) Billy Crystal and Rob Reiner
  • "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) Angela Lansbury
  • "Unforgiven" (1992) Clint Eastwood
  • "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994) Morgan Freeman

    Why is Christian Science in our name?

    Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

    The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

    Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
