The new Film Forum JR. season opens with Walt Disney’s timeless coming-of-age tale BAMBI (March 30/31), voted #3 on the AFI’s list of “Top 10 Animated Movies.”
 
April opens with BABE (April 6/7), the story of a pig who yearns to work as a farm’s sheepdog. Next up, Charlie Chaplin explores the ups, downs and inner-workings of the industrial age in MODERN TIMES (April 13/14).
 
April continues with the mystery spoof CLUE (April 20/21), based on the popular board game, including 3 alternate endings. Director Jonathan Lynn will be in person on Saturday, April 20; Satyajit Ray’s incomparably moving PATHER PANCHALI (one morning only on Saturday, April 27), the first of his “Apu Trilogy.”
 
May: KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (May 4/5), Ishirō Honda’s action-packed battle between the cinema’s two greatest monster super-stars; BUGS, DAFFY AND FRIENDS (May 11/12), a collection of shorts featuring your favorite Warner Bros. characters, including Porky Pig, Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner, Tweety & Sylvester; Tim Burton’s EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (May 18/19), starring Johnny Depp; and Penny Marshall’s A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (May 25/26), starring Geena Davis and Tom Hanks, based on the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during WWII.

June begins with the silent comedy classic SAFETY LAST! (June 1/2), with Harold Lloyd iconically hanging from a skyscraper’s clock, featuring live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner; followed by a new 4K restoration of William Wyler’s FUNNY GIRL (June 8/9), starring Barbra Streisand; then CROOKLYN (June 15/16), from the Academy Award-winning Spike Lee; and BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM(June 22/23), a British romantic soccer comedy starring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley.
