Description

An unassuming flight attendant by day, drug smuggler by night—it’s the perfect crime, and plays out just as perfectly on the big screen. Paying homage to ‘70s blaxpoitation films, Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown has made itself comfortable in the canon of great crime films. With an all-star cast of Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, and Robert DiNiro, this 1997 staple is packed with all the Tarantino touches we know and love: violence, lively dialogue, and plot twists around every corner.

Tickets: $15 (Members from $10)


If this month’s premiere of The Talented Mr. Rosenberg leaves you gasping at the audacious schemes of Toronto’s own Yorkville Swindler, delve deeper into the brazen world of conmen, grifters and frauds with Watch List: The Con Is On, a curated collection of the best flimflam films to ever hit the screen.
