Is it important to the story? Yes! Does the audience need to care about it? No! That’s a MacGuffin!

This month we’re celebrating one of film’s great narrative devices — coined by screenwriter Angus MacPhail and popularized by Alfred Hitchcock — and the series wouldn't be complete without Steven Spielberg’s globe-trekking, breathtaking amazing race!

Harrison Ford smoulders as the adventurous, gold snagging archaeologist on a mission full of face melting fun and skin crawling suspense. Travel from Nepal to Cairo as Indiana Jones races to get the treasured Ark of the Covenant (that's our MacGuffin!) before his archenemies.

Can he use his brawn and brains to stop Nazis and the occult? And what exactly are the Ark's amazing powers? Only those who find this fabulous relic will know. The excitement and romance is non-stop as Indy plunges through jungles and desert sands in search of treasure.

“Love don’t make things nice, it ruins everything."

Whether you're pro or anti-Valentine's Day, there's simply no better movie choice for February 14th than Norman Jewison’s tale of melancholy and longing.

Determined to end a streak of bad relationship luck, Loretta (Cher) reluctantly agrees to marry her unremarkable beau Johnny (Danny Aiello). She also takes charge of reconciling Johnny’s relationship with his estranged brother, Ronny (Nicolas Cage) who, as it turns out, is a hot-headed, coal-shovelling, aria-loving, crazy-eyed baker with one hand. Under the glow of an absurdly large full moon, Loretta and Ronny get lost in a passionate tango of words and must determine, before Johnny’s inevitable discovery, if it’s the real deal or if they've simply been…moonstruck.

Winner of three Academy Awards and on basically every "best rom-com" list ever, Moonstruck will have you singing "That's Amore!" all the way home from the theatre.

Just in time for Wiarton Willie's annual outing, catch up with this beloved comedy starring Bill Murray as jaded, sarcastic TV weatherman on a Groundhog Day assignment in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania who’s caught in a seemingly endless time loop.

Dismayed at first, Phil (Murray) eventually takes advantage of his situation to engage in some wacky, consequence-free hijinks. But no amount of practice can win Phil the heart of his beautiful producer Rita (Andie MacDowell), forcing Phil to reconsider his caddish ways and do some serious soul searching.

Part charming romantic comedy, part heady exploration of the terrifying monotony of existence and the possibility of achieving spiritual transcendence through self-improvement and good works, "Groundhog Day" demands to be seen over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. Whether or not Willie spots his shadow, we predict that this comedy classic will bring approximately 101 minutes of pure fun.

Our next edition of High Tea Cinema falls during the month of hearts and flowers and we think the best gift you could give to everyone you love is the chance to sit in the dark, sip some tea, nibble on a scone and watch a little regency-era romance on the big screen!

This time we'll be watching one of the latest adaptations of Jane Austen's classic novel Pride & Prejudice, starring Kiera Knightley (period film MVP) as the spirited and witty Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as the dashing yet maddening Fitzwilliam Darcy. Transport yourself to a quaint British village that's thrown into a frenzy when two wealthy bachelors arrive and set the hearts of all the single ladies (and their mothers!) aflutter.

As always you'll get a delicious scone and cup of themed tea with your ticket so you can feel extra posh and Darcy-level smug about the classy afternoon you're spending at the cinema.

Join Sasha Tease and her special guests for our Clapback Queens series. The queens will provide some fabulous drag performances, offer hilarious commentary on the film, and bring their shade expertise to rate the clapbacks of our favourite female protagonists.

What do you get when you mix a script written by two comedy powerhouse writers Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo & a stacked all-star cast of some of the funniest people working today, including Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy (who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in this film), John Hamm, & Chris O’Dowd? You get one of the funniest comedies of the last 20 years.

Annie's (Kristen Wiig) life is a mess, but when she finds out her lifetime best friend is engaged, she simply must serve as Lillian's (Maya Rudolph) maid of honour. However, competition between the maid of honour and a bridesmaid, over who is the bride's best friend, threatens Lillian's big day.

*Drag pre-show starts at 9pm followed by the film.
