Ladyhawke
1985, 121min/color, 35mm
Directed by: Richard Donner
Cast: Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Pfeiffer
Upon breaking out of a dungeon, youthful thief Phillipe Gaston (Matthew Broderick) befriends Capt. Navarre (Rutger Hauer), a man with a strange secret. Navarre and his lover Lady Isabeau d’Anjou (Michelle Pfeiffer) were cursed by the wicked Bishop of Aquila (John Wood), who desires Lady Isabeau for himself. His dark magic prevents the pair from ever being in each other’s presence except at twilight, so they enlist Gaston in a dangerous plot to overthrow the Bishop and break his evil enchantment.
The Hitcher
1986, 97min/color, Digital
Directed by: Robert Harmon
Cast: Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh
When Jim Halsey stops to pick up a hitcher (played unforgettably by Rutger Hauer) one rainy night, he is soon dying to turn back time. Initially overlooked at the time of its theatrical release, in the ensuing years THE HITCHER has developed a strong cult following among genre devotees.
