In the universally beloved Kermit the Frog’s first feature film and origin story, our little green friend embarks on a cross-country road trip to Hollywood in search of stardom.

Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)
Rosanna Arquette and a pre-superstar Madonna headline Susan Seidelman’s effervescent comedy, which follows a repressed housewife (Arquette) who lives vicariously reading romantic personal ads, especially those submitted by the effortlessly enigmatic Susan (Madonna).

Solaris (1972)
In Andrei Tarkovsky’s influential sci-fi epic (remade by Steven Soderbergh in 2002 with George Clooney), a psychologist is sent to a space station orbiting a mysterious planet called Solaris in order to determine what made the crew there go insane. Of course, he also falls victim to the same mysterious phenomena, becoming unable to distinguish hallucinations from reality. Clinton, July 9.
Beetlejuice (1988)
Tim Burton’s Halloween classic tells the whimsically eerie tale of a recently deceased couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) who decide to haunt their own house when a new family (Catherine O’Hara, Jeffrey Jones and a young Winona Ryder) moves in. When their antics fail, they turn in desperation to sleazy “bio-exorcist” Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton)...big mistake. Rooftop Cinema at Lloyd Center, July 10.
Galaxy Quest (1999)
When the washed-up cast of a popular space opera TV series are mistaken for actual heroes by aliens in need of help defending themselves from hostile intergalactic warlords, the actors must use their fake experience to complete a very real mission.
