Willy Wonka at the Strand

Saturday, November 13 at 7 PM

50 years ago Gene Wilder disturbed us all with his portrayal of Willy Wonka...

A poor little boy wins a ticket to visit the inside of a mysterious and magical chocolate factory in his town. When he experiences the wonders inside the factory, the boy discovers that the entire visit is a test of his character, with a marvelous reward if he passes muster.

“If the good Lord had intended us to walk he wouldn’t have invented roller-skates.”–Willy Wonka

“So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you.”–Willy Wonka

“There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you’ll be free if you truly wish to be.”–Willy Wonka

“Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.” Willy Wonka

“Don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted.”–Willy Wonka

“What?”–Charlie

“He lived happily ever after.”–Willy Wonka

“We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams.–Willy Wonka

“So shines a good deed in a weary world.”–Willy Wonka

Coming to the Strand 

Saturday, October 16 at 7 PM.

"The Mustangs: America's Wild Horses" is a feature documentary that is executive produced by Robert Redford, Patti Scialfa Springsteen and Jessica Springsteen. 

Featuring music by Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nelson.

This film takes audiences on an odyssey throughout America to places few people have seen or even know about. There are more than 80,000 wild horses on our federal lands and more than50,000 in government. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Philipps says, "The wild horse is so ingrained in the American imagination that even for those who have never seen one know what it stands for: fierce independence, unbridled freedom, the bedrock ideals of the nation. From car ads to high school mascots, the wild horse-popularly known as the mustang-is the enduring icon of America. But in modern times it has become entangled in controversy and bureaucracy, and now its future is in question. "Watching this movie will make you fall in love with America all over again and understand why the protection of our wild horses and our public lands are worth fighting for.

The Mustangs in Fests The film won Best Documentary at the Houston World Fest and the LA Film Festival and won the Audience Choice Award at the San Diego Film Festival.

It screened at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and Malibu Film Festival and was an official selection in 10 other festivals.

Tickets available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse for $10.
