JULY 16 - ANNIE HALL (UA/Provided by MGM) Turning thirty this year, "Annie Hall" appears as fresh as ever. Neurotic N.Y. comic Alvy Singer looks back at various aspects of his life, including the women he has known. Annie may have been his one great love, but the relationship wasn't meant to be. For most fans, this is Woody Allen at his peak. "Annie" took Oscars for Best Picture (beating out "Star Wars"), Best Director and Best Script. Diane Keaton, at her "la-di-da" finest, won a statuette too. 94 Min. (1977)

JULY 23 - THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (RKO/Provided by Warner Bros.) "Keep watching the skies!" Things start to sizzle at the North Pole after a team of scientists and military personnel unearths a freeze-dried alien being. According to Hollywood gossip, producer Howard Hawks had a heavy hand in the direction of this legendary sci-fi thriller filmed in Glacier National Park and at a Los Angeles ice storage plant. 87 min. (1951)

JULY 30 - WAIT UNTIL DARK (Warner Bros.) Alan Arkin is way over-the-top as the nastiest of the villains, while the ever-classy Audrey Hepburn scored a Best Actress nomination for her more restrained effort as the plucky and exceedingly resourceful heroine-in-distress. The lights-out climax of this jittery chiller is jump-out-of-your-skin scary. Let the screaming begin. 108 Min. (1967)

AUGUST 6 - ALL THE KING'S MEN (Sony/Columbia) Nothing much has changed since Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning morality tale was brought to the big screen. Power corrupts and politics can be a dirty business. Burly Broderick Crawford won a Best Actor trophy for his larger-than-life portrayal of Willy Stark, an honest man who gets ethically sidetracked on his way to the governor's mansion. "Men" won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe as Best Picture of 1949. Forget the recent remake and stick with the superior original. 109 Min. (1949)

AUGUST 13 - CASABLANCA (Warner Bros.) You must remember this ... Rick's Cafe, "play it, Sam," the usual suspects, "here's looking at you, kid", Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, "of all the gin joints," the Marseillaise, "we'll always have Paris," Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet. Everyone's favorite Hollywood romance is barely #2 behind "Citizen Kane" on the AFI list of America's Greatest Movies. The timeless melodrama of love, valor and compassion during WWII hasn't dated one whit. My, how time goes by. 102 Min. (1942)
