Hello All!

It has been many months since you last heard from us but it is that time of the year when we’re needing to raise some money for our two or three films series held throughout the year. We’re selling Annual Memberships again (see below for payment options) and we hope to be able to start the 2009 Spring Series on March 8th. The Annual Membership cost is still $50.00. We think this is a great deal, especially if you plan on attending most of the shows. Really is a bargain price on Premium movies. Also, your support, in this way, helps us plan for more titles.

We have a list of titles for this spring that we think you’ll find interesting:

Trouble the Water (unrated, 93 Min., 1 Oscar Nomination)

Frost/Nixon (R, 122 Min., 5 Oscar Nominations)

Slumdog Millionaire (R, 120 Min., 10 Oscar Nominations)

Happy-Go-Lucky (R, 118 Min., 1 Oscar Nomination)

Milk (R, 128 Min., 8 Oscar Nominations)

Doubt (PG13, 104 Min., 5 Oscar Nominations)

Waltz with Bashir (R, 90 Min., 1 Oscar Nomination)

The Secret of the Grain (unrated, 151 Min.)

Because many of these titles have been nominated for Academy Awards it is difficult to actually date some of them until we see who wins. But we’re pretty sure, with your help, we’ll be able to bring all eight of these titles to Buffalo this spring. We will have the actual schedule and more information about each title ready to share just as soon as we can. We are planning on Sunday & Monday showings of these titles this spring. There will be an early Sunday show (about 1:30) and a Monday evening show.

So, if you’d like to help us out, and we hope you will, you can either buy a membership online or send us a check. Or you can come into the theater and buy a membership in person starting this coming weekend. Perhaps many of you will be coming in to see Clint Eastwood’s picture, Gran Torino which is playing Friday through Monday?

Checks can be made payable and sent to:

Bennett Street Films
157 E. Bennett
Buffalo, WY 82834

The webpage where you can buy memberships (or simply donate) using PayPal or a Credit Card can be found on our Memberships page.

If you haven’t yet, and you would like to see all the Oscar nominees, BoxOfficeMojo has an Academy Award List that’s pretty straight forward

Side note: We’re hoping many of the other titles listed there will be able to fit in to the regular programming at the theater. Stay tuned!
