Maurice (1987): 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 9

At Cambridge in Edwardian, England, the conventional Clive (Hugh Grant) and the passionate Maurice (James Wilby) fall deeply in love, only to be torn apart by the crushing social expectations of their class and era, in this sumptuous and deeply moving adaptation of E.M. Forster’s long-suppressed autobiographical novel. Rated R. 140 minutes.

Bound (1996): 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 16

Tough ex-con, Corky (Gina Gershon), and her lover, Violet (Jennifer Tilly), concoct a scheme to steal millions of stashed mob money and pin the blame on Violet’s crooked boyfriend Caesar in this acclaimed first feature by the famed Wachowski’s (“The Matrix”).

Rated R. 109 minutes.

FTOYS (2025): 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 23

This multi-award-winning film is the absolutely stunning directorial debut of Annapurna Sriram (“Billions;” “The Blacklist”), who also stars. “Heated Rivalry’s” steamy François “Scott Hunter” Arnaud also has a major role! The twisting — and twisted — story, inspired by the Taro, follows The Fool as an innocent sex worker who sets out on a moped through Trashtown, USA, in search of a lucrative payday. Psychic after psychic after psychic has told her that a dreadful Curse has been cast upon her, and that this Curse can only be lifted by the slaughter of a sacrificial lamb, and… a payment of $1000. Having neither of these, the trusting ingenue goes on an adventure with an ever-bloodied girlfriend (the striking Sadie Scott) only to discover the pervasively transactional reality of our world.

While this unrated film contains no actual sex, there are several crudely suggestive scenes, so we suggest considering it as Rated R for Revolutionary. 106 minutes.

Mulholland Drive (2001): 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 30

Aspiring actress Betty (Naomi Watts) arrives bright-eyed in Hollywood and takes in a mysterious amnesiac woman (Laura Harring) she discovers in her aunt’s apartment, drawing both into a labyrinthine mystery of identity, obsession, and shattered dreams in this hypnotic neo-noir masterpiece from visionary director David Lynch (“Blue Velvet,” “Twin Peaks”). Routinely cited by critics as one of the greatest films of the 21st century, this is essential cinema not to be missed.

Rated R. 147 minutes.
