Wild Wild West (1990)
Sunday, June 18 | 1 – 4 p.m.
Bring your dad to the Briscoe to enjoy a laidback afternoon of Western movies as we sit back and revisit this steampunk Western masterpiece by director Barry Sonnenfeld (“Adams Family”, “Men In Black”). Loosely adapted from the 1960s television series, “The Wild Wild West”, the film stars Will Smith and Kevin Kline – who plays two roles, including President Ulysses S. Grant. The film also boasts an original film score by Western film score veteran Elmer Bernstein.
Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
Sunday, July 16 | 1 – 4 p.m.
Join the Briscoe for the second film in the summer “Western Sci-Fi” series with this science fiction Western action film directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”, “The Mandalorian”). Based on a graphic novel of the same name film, the film has a star-studded cast that includes Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, and Harrison Ford.
Nope (2022)
Sunday, August 20 | 1 – 4 p.m.
Say “nope” to the dog days of summer by enjoying a cool movie at the Briscoe with this Western Sci-Fi horror film from director Jordan Peele (“Us”, “Get Out”). A family that trains and handles horses for film and television productions has to wrangle something they have never encountered before in a movie that will give you chills.
