Houston’s sky-high cinema, Rooftop Cinema Club, reveals the full September movie lineup rich with strong female-led talent, Black Cinema, anniversaries, and special events to shake your tail to. And with the sun setting earlier over the Uptown skyline, the venue’s double features are back every Friday and Saturday night beginning September 7!
Tickets for September are on sale now at rooftopcinemaclub.com/houston.
Diversity takes center stage this month with films like “Eve’s Bayou” Sept. 7, “Beyond the Lights” Sept. 14, “Boomerang” Sept.20, and “Love Jones” Sept. 26, as well as “Selena” Sept.4 and “La Bamba” Sept. 29. Also during this time are some big anniversaries: “The Notebook” celebrates 15 years, “Pulp Fiction” is 25 and “Road House” celebrates its 30th.
“We wanted to feature some truly unique films and events for September,” said Gerry Cottle, owner and founder of Rooftop Cinema Club. “It’s the first month heading into our fall season so a little less heat and sun adds to the magic and fun during a popular time of the year for rooftoppers.”
In particular, Houston told us how bad they wanted a magical rooftop night with their favorite wizard, and Rooftop listened! Don’t miss the 15th anniversary of “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” on Sept. 12. The venue will be decked out in Potter décor, special Hogwarts menu items, and seats by “house.” Dress up if you like (or not) to show your true allegiance!
Sunday, September 22, is another special screening, but this time for our furry friends as we transform to Wooftop Cinema Club for “Secret Life of Pets 2.” For this screening only, we’ll have a dog-friendly setting for fans to show off their pooches, particularly in their favorite superhero outfits for fun and prizes. We’re also on the lookout for any dog-owners wanting to “marry” their pets during a special ceremony that evening. More info to come!
