Cost: Free with $7 bar minimum

Woah nilly... just when I was waaay over posting these brainwave screenings, they come back with La Cite Des Enfants Perdus or - for those of us who chose to take art instead of French - City of Lost Children. This is one of my favorite films of all time (for real, check my MySpace and you know if it's on MySpace it has to be true) and my favorite Jean-Pierre Jeunet film. "Set in a bizarre and fantastic dystopian city, the eccentric scientist Krank and his twin brother kidnap children to steal their dreams  to prevent premature aging.  In a bittersweet journey, One and orphan Miette travel to The City of Lost Children to find One's baby brother and put an end to Krank and his evil Cyclops army." Yeah, all that and its preeeeeety. 21+
