This ongoing series allows theater staff and members of the Ambler community to pick and present their favorite films to our engaged community of cinephiles. Our screening of OCEAN'S ELEVEN was selected and will be introduced by Kali, our Ambler Theater head manager.
Indie darling, Steven Soderbergh's remake of the Rat Pack's '60s crime caper is as effortlessly cool as it's predecessor. George Clooney leads a stacked cast of Hollywood A-listers, playing career criminal Danny Ocean. Danny's a recent parolee looking to score one last big job — the catch is he's looking to rob 3 casinos of $150 million over the course of one night with the help of his old pals. OCEAN'S ELEVEN is a fast and loose good time at the movies! Also starring Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon. Presented on a 35mm print courtesy of the Odyssey Film Institute.
"Is Ocean’s Eleven not your favorite film? I used to watch this movie every weekend growing up, and it absolutely altered my brain chemistry. I would spend my nights planning my perfect heist and trying to decide if I was in love with Danny Ocean or wanted to be Danny Ocean. Rewatching it as an adult, I sincerely believe this is the perfect film. There isn’t a second wasted, with its razor-sharp editing and flawless script—which I can probably recite from memory. The cast sweeps you up in their charm, and suddenly you’re watching a magic trick, and it's one I’ll never get tired of. Thank you, Odyssey Film Institute, for making my dreams come true by seeing this on 35mm." -Kali
