11am NASHVILLE (1975, dir by Robert Altman, Paramount, 160mns, 35MM)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

**WE ARE NOW FOLLOWING THE NEW EASED PROTOCOLS FOR ALL EVENTS THAT BEGAN 6/15/21!

***ALL GUESTS WILL BE TAKEN THROUGH PROTOCOLS PRIOR TO ENTERING THEATER SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE A FUN AND SAFE TIME.

****Please still bring phone photos or actual vaccination cards and masks so we can continue to make sure we are keeping events as safe and worry free as possible.

HOW TO:

1)PLEASE PURCHASE ALL TICKETS FOR FOLKS IN YOUR “HOUSEHOLD” AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WILL HELP US KNOW HOW TO LAY OUT THAT DAY’S SEATING PLAN. So for example, if you are attending in a group of 3 people all of whom will be sitting together, please purchase ALL 3 TICKETS at the same time.

For the time being, we are capping the maximum “household” number to 4 tickets/4 people who can sit next to each other.

2)PLEASE BRING AND BE READY TO WEAR A PROPER MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE THEATER. While you will be able to order, eat, and drink concessions in your reserved seating area and there will be a loosening of mask restrictions, the county will still require folks not yet vaccinated to wear masks at all other times.

3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS OR MOVIE MERCHANDISE you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions & merchandise at our tables in our lobby prior to the screening.

We will be able to sell concessions & merchandise at the theater. But it will make everything much quicker and easier if you pre-order!

4)PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANYONE EXHIBITING COVID OR FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS AT THE DOOR, WILL BE OFFERED COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO A FUTURE SHOW AND ASKED TO RETURN WHEN HEALTHY. So please, if you’re feeling sick, just write us at community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening when you’re healthy. Let’s all do our part to beat this thing so we can go back to the complete movie going experience!

We celebrate the July 4th weekend with two irreverent, idiosynchratic looks at America from master moviemaker Robert Altman. Both on 35mm!

First up is the movie often considered Altman's ultimate achievement and masterpiece: the kaleidoscopic 1975 comedy-drama Nashville. In typical clever Altman fashion, Nashville at first appears to be an ensemble musical-comedy about the country music scene before we quickly realize it's becoming a stand-in for an examination of our country's queasy relationship between entertainers, politicians, political engagement, manipulation.

A brilliant stunning amazing work with incredible country music, performances from an all-star cast busting at the seams, directing that is mind-boggling, and an ending that has rightly come down as one of THE GREAT 1970's endings.

We follow Nashville with Altman's earlier but no less subversive McCabe & Mrs Miller starring real life lovers (at the time) Warren Beatty and Julie Christie as McCabe, a slightly cowardly gambler/businessman, on the run and Mrs. Miller, an opium smoking madame of a brothel, who join forces to make money in the western town of Presbyterian Church.

McCabe and Mrs Miller is one of the great 1970's westerns because it looks at the wild west almost certainly the way it really was. In a strange way, Robert Altman was almost the 1970's John Ford in that Altman was constantly examining different aspects and periods of American history, culture and almost always making masterpieces.

McCabe and Mrs Miller also boasts an incredible Leonard Cohen score, cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond that made him one of THE 1970's cinematographers to get.

Sometimes the best way to honor something is to challenge and question it. Altman does that with America. What better way to celebrate the July 4th weekend then with these 2 35mm classics.

Best always,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS

REFUNDS:

We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.

However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening.

WHY ARE THE TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN NORMAL?

In order for us to re-open, maintain health protocols (which includes operating at only 50% capacity), and screen movies on 35MM, we need to temporarily raise our ticket prices. We apologize.

However, if you could look at this as partially helping Secret Movie Club re-open indoor theaters and 35MM film screening, we would be eternally grateful.

As we can increase capacity, we will IMMEDIATELY LOWER ticket prices.

If you could look at this as all of us being in this together, we WILL remember your kindness.

HELPFUL MILLION DOLLAR THEATER MOVIE PALACE PARKING TIPS:

If you are attending all movies on any given day (the double or triple feature), you can go to ADD ONS and pre-order an all day $6 Grand Central Parking Lot Pass. The Grand Central Parking Lot is at the corner of 3rd Street and Hill Street just 1 block from the Million Dollar Theater entrance on 3rd & Broadway.

Folks just attending one feature can also park at this lot and as long as you grab food/drink from GCM you can get a 90 minute validation stamp that will help the cost of parking.

HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE:

We will have staff in the theater (on both the ground and balcony levels) at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times.

Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs!
