This Weekend (Friday June 28th - Sunday June 30th) at the Carolina Theatre of Durham, it’s the ActionFlix Film Series!
WHAT IS ACTIONFLIX?
Action! To some it just means violence, but the greats of action cinema give us something more, turning shootings and explosions into something artful and often spectacular. From the taciturn classics of the ’70s, through the cartoonish ’80s and on to the super-heroic 90s, ActionFlix offers that elusive combination of a great story, unforgettable characters, and an unmatched technical mastery of stunts 'n' squibs necessary to transcend genre thrills and achieve great cinema.

Luc Beeon’s The Fifth Element (1991)
Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Guy Hamilton’s Goldfinger (1964) [55th Anniversary Presentation!]
