• Central Cinema has The Spy Who Loved Me, one of the more exciting and fun James Bond films with Roger Moore in the title role.
• SIFF was chock full of great documentaries this year; one of the best of them was Dr. Bronner’s Soapbox, a documentary about the iconic soap manufacturer and the empire he built–now run by his son–as part of his colorful and fascinating life. If you missed it during the festival or would like to see it again, you’re in luck–it’s playing at the Grand Illusion for a week. It’s an interesting look at a socially responsible company and the unique characters who built and maintain it.

  Also at the Grand Illusion this weekend: I Have Never Forgotten You, a great documentary about Simon Wiesenthal and 80’s summer camp comedy flick Oddballs

• Midnight at the Egyptian this weekend is A Scanner Darkly, a film that really kinda creeps me out. Based on a Philip K. Dick novel, the film stars Keanu Reeves and features Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder and Rory Cochrane.
• The Lars von Trier comedy Boss of It All plays at SIFF Cinema.
• It’s classic AND modern French filmmaking at NWFF where they are screening the legendary Belle de Jour, the 1967 film directed by Luis Bunuel and starring Catherine Deneuve, and the 2006 follow up, Belle Toujours, directed by Manoel de Oliviera and starring Bulle Ogier in the Deneuve role.
• As always, there’s a ton of outdoor flicks: Seattle Outdoor Cinema has Casino Royale and Movies at the Mural has Hairspray (the original, with Ricki Lake) and Moulin Rouge, which still makes me weepy at the end of it even though I’ve watched it a bajillion times. Outdoor Movie Night in Kirkland has The Goonies, a film much beloved by its devoted cult audience and West Seattle has Monty Python & the Holy Grail.
