Showtimes are as follows:

Friday 12 – Ban 1 Productions presents $6 Double Feature

7 & 11PM – SMOKEY & THE BANDIT

Saturday 13 – Ban 1 Productions presents $6 Double Feature
5 & 9pm – BURT REYNOLDS TRAILER PARK (Burt Reynolds Trailers)
7 & 11PM – SMOKEY & THE BANDIT

In addition to the Burt Reynolds love fest, the Repertory Cinema at Chandler Cinemas is asking everyone to bring non-perishable foods or a new or slightly used toy with them to the movie.

From the Repertory Cinema at Chandler Cinemas people:

We know times are tough right now for everyone, but some have it much tougher than others. So we want to help make the holidays a little brighter for them. Over the next month, you can help out the less fortunate–and see free movies at the same time–with the COME AS YOU ARE HOLIDAY FOOD & TOY DRIVE.

Here’s how it works: From Friday, November 28 through Wednesday, December 24, whenever you bring in a non-perishable food item or a new (or gently used) toy, you will be given a coupon for a free movie (on your next visit), and your name will be entered into a drawing to get free movies throughout 2009! No limit to how many items you can bring in!
