SUZY STUMP: UNITED ARTISTS 90TH ANNIVERSARY FILM SERIES >>>

Anyone who is in the Tacoma area should make a point of stopping by The Grand Cinema, especially over the coming two weeks when it will continue to screen celebrated classics as one of the 20 select "markets of independent theaters and cinema houses in key cities throughout the United States" playing host to the United Artists 90th Anniversary Film Festival. (Not a bad promotional idea from the studio purchased by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner in November 2006, right?).

Beginning Friday, Midnight Cowboy (1969), Raging Bull (1980) and The Great Escape (1963) will hit The Grand’s screens through Aug. 7. Beginning Aug. 8: Some Like It Hot (1959), From Russia with Love (1963) and The Pink Panther (1963). Whoa, 1963 was all that.

[The Grand Cinema, starts Friday, Aug. 1, each movie will have several screenings throughout the week, but will not necessarily play every day, $4.50-$8, 606 Fawcett Ave., Tacoma, 253.593.4474]
