**Metropolis** **Les Miserables** - (1935 w/ Fredric March and Charles Laughton) **Casablanca** **To Kill a Mockingbird** **Blade Runner** As an old school movie-goer, i don’t think it’s proper to show the feature without showing an animated short beforehand. As such, the following cartoons should be included: **The Zoot Cat** (Tom & Jerry - Tom’s bid to impress kitty fatale with a zoot suit clipped from a hammock, Jerry gets the girl in the end) **Solid Serenade** (Tom and Jerry - Tom attempts to woo kitten with a slap-bass rendition of _Is you Is or Is You Ain’t (My Baby)_ **Hillbilly Hare** (Warner Brothers - Bugs calls a square dance for the Coys and Martins) **Three Little Bops** (Warner Brothers - Three hep shoats blow the bebop while the Big Bad Wolf tries to join the jam) **Saturday Evening Puss** (Tom and Jerry - While the mistress is away, Tom gathers the alley cats for for a raucous party to the accompaniment of _Darktown Strutter’s Ball_. Jerry rats them out and the mistress steams home to put the boot to the puss. # ---

Actually, I knew what bebop was, and I could figure out “hep” and “jam”, but the sentence as I saw it had multiple possible meanings. I was thinking of “blow” as in “let’s blow this joint”, which was throwing me off. ---
