Welcome to MOVIE CLASSICS THEATER (MCT)

On July 20th a selected audience attended the presentation of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It was a rather moving evening. The presentation was followed by an interesting discussion.

The Season 2012/2013 will slowly come to its end, but not before our annual Open Air show on August 17th, presenting Steven Spielberg's classic thriller Jaws at the Theater in Paradise.

And in August or September will will have one more Summer Break Special presentation showing the pilot episodes of the US comedy series The New Normal again, for those who missed the presentation in June.

In a few weeks you will find our scheduled presentations of the up-coming Season 2013/2014. We are very sure that there will be quite a few shows amongst the many attractions which you might fancy again. So MCT is looking forward to welcome you soon to one of our coming events and hopes that you will enjoy the new season.

Summer Break Special
The New Normal - Pilot Episodes

From the producer of Glee comes this new US sitcom about a kind of family that not long ago would have been considered rather strange, but nowadays may pass as The New Normal. This NBC show is about a gay couple that is looking for and finding a surrogate mother. Unfortunately the mother of their child comes with a conservative and very bigoted grandmother who tries everything in her power to thwart their plans.

Although the German TV station Pro7 already airs this show
MCT decided to screen the sitcom for this year's Pride Special anyway. Dubbed the show just is not as funny as the original.

The Letter
With all her heart she still loved the man she killed. Melodrama at its best. The film got Bette yet another Academy Award nomination.
Strictly Ballroom
A feel-good movie that made the audience want to Rumba till late into the night and try the Paso Doble right in the Sky Lounge.
Brazil
Art can be challenging. This satyric retro sci-fi movie left the audience exhausted.

Girls Will Be Girls
Three Hollwood girls went crazy, and so did the MCT audience. 'All About Eve' met 'Sunset Boulevard' met 'Valley of the Dolls'.
Arrested Development
Jason Bateman tried the best to remain sane as as the only same member of a family of nutcases. Hilarious!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Everybody had fun at this classic open-air movie with plenty of audience participation. Many costumes were ravishing and a real match to those worn by the characters on-screen.
