At once a taut, deeply engrossing political thriller and one of the most fascinating films ever made about the inner workings of the press, Alan J. Pakula’s All the President’s Men plays as part of our Wayback Wednesday series, celebrating the cinema of 1976.

Academy-Award winners Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman star in this true story as Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. When they cover a seemingly routine story of a break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington’s Watergate office building, their reportage and subse­quent revelations move Congress to force the President of the United States to resign.

After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.

Calling to mind classic summer blockbusters like ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘ET the Extra-Terrestrial’, The End of Oak Street is a crowd-pleasing throwback hit.

The Summer Book follows an intergenerational family spending a transformative summer at their rustic vacation home on an unspoiled, remote island in the Gulf of Finland.

Adapted from Tove Jansson’s beloved novel, the film explores grief, nature, and the delicate bonds between a young girl, her wise grandmother (Glenn Close), and her grieving father (Anders Danielsen Lie).

“A masterpiece that appeals to the senses.”
