Event Details
Celebrate the release of 50 Movie Nights with Turner Classic Movies host, film expert, and bestselling author Dave Karger at the Academy Museum.
In 50 Movie Nights, Karger brings together 50 engaging conversations with acclaimed artists from across the entertainment industry—including Scarlett Johansson, Paul Rudd, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sterling K. Brown, Carol Burnett, Ava DuVernay, Don Cheadle, and many others—who each share the 20th-century film that has had the greatest impact on their lives. Filled with insightful stories, film recommendations, and stunning photography, 50 Movie Nights is an invitation to discover—or rediscover—some of the most beloved films ever made.
Each ticket includes a copy of 50 Movie Nights, signed by Karger during the event.
Guests may also... purchase a separate ticket to a special presentation of The King of Comedy (1982), beginning with a conversation between Karger and actor, director, and producer Jason Bateman, exploring the film's enduring legacy, followed by a screening of Martin Scorsese's comedy.
