"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" - (1936; 1 hour, 55 minutes) - The third film in Lincoln Theater’s Classic Film Club, Stars and Noirs. Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper), a resident of small-town Vermont, leads a simple life until he inherits a vast fortune from a late uncle. Soon, unscrupulous lawyer John Cedar (Douglas Dumbrille) brings Deeds to New York City, where the unassuming heir is the object of much media attention. When wily reporter Babe Bennett (Jean Arthur) gains the trust and affection of Deeds, she uses her position to publish condescending articles about him -- but are her feelings for him really that shallow? Gary Cooper and Jean Arthus star in this Oscar nominated Best Picture that won a Best Director Oscar for Frank Capra. Film Historian and Classic Film Club host, Jeannie MacDonald will provide a brief introduction to the film and a post-screening Q & A. Playing Thursday, Jan. 1 at 7 p.m. and Friday, Jan 2 at 2 p.m. Tickets: Free for Classic Film Club members, $10 adult, and $7 for LT members and youth.

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" - (1971; 1 hour, 40 minutes) - Free Family Film for 2026 - The original “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” based on the beloved 1964 children's novel by Roald Dahl. The world is astounded when Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder), for years a recluse in his factory, announces that five lucky people will be given a tour of the factory, shown all the secrets of his amazing candy, and one will win a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate. Nobody wants the prize more than young Charlie, but as his family is so poor that buying even one bar of chocolate is a treat, buying enough bars to find one of the five golden tickets is unlikely in the extreme. But in movieland, magic can happen. Charlie, along with four somewhat odious other children, get the chance of a lifetime and a tour of the factory. Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the odious children, but can Charlie beat the odds? Free screening Sunday, Jan. 4 at 1 p.m.
