Heartthrobs

Overview

Here's a great way to program a film series: pick movies starring all the leading men that graced teenage bedroom walls in the 80s, 90s and 00s. That mightn't have been how Golden Age Cinema and Bar actually put its latest season together, but the resulting lineup is called Heartthrobs — and Leo, Brad, Heath, Keanu and River are all accounted for.

Wherefore art thou Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet? Here, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and kicking off the season on Saturday, March 12. Come back two weeks later to swoon over a young Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise, then fall head over heels for Heath Ledger in Two Hands the following week.

The Saturday, April 9 session truly is something special, even within this 100-percent ace selection of flicks — because the Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix-starring My Own Private Idaho, aka one of the best movies either has ever made, is on the bill.

Then, wrapping things up is the 80s heartthrob fest that is The Outsiders on Saturday, April 23, with a stacked cast that includes Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Ralph Macchio and C Thomas Howell.
