The screenings are listed below.

• September 7 - Dirty Dancing -  It’s the end of summer—but there’s still the end-of-season talent show. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey play the star-crossed young lovers who meet at an Upstate summertime resort—he’s the dance instructor and she’s the Peace Corps–bound debutante. Their forbidden love is channeled through their forbidden dance, and they will change each other’s lives forever.
• September 17 - Funny Girl -  Barbra Streisand’s Oscar-worthy performance is the highlight of this musical biography of Fanny Brice, the well-known stage, film, and radio comedian of the early twentieth century. Brice, bursting with talent but not a “traditional” beauty, is desperate to start a career on the stage.
• September 24 - The Human Comedy -  Multiple protagonists tell the home-front story of the small town of Ithaca, California.

• October 15 - A Leetter to Three Wives - Gregory Peck stars as Philip Green, a journalist transplanted from California to New York assigned a series for his new magazine on the subject of anti-Semitism.
• October 22 - The Seventh Cross - Spencer Tracy is George Heisler, one of seven prisoners who escape from a German concentration camp in 1936. The commandant of the camp is determined to track them down and vows that each one he recovers will be put on a cross to die.
• October 29 - Cat People -  In the 1940s, there was a shift toward more realistic portrayals and shooting on location, but there was also a corresponding move toward the fantastic. In this Val Lewton–produced horror/suspense film, Irene (Simone Simon) is haunted by legends from her European upbringing about young women who turn into predatory felines when sexually aroused. Despite this, she falls in love and plans to marry a man she met at the zoo.
