Join us on this lovely Star Wars Day for a different kind of space movie and an early masterpiece from a director who has made several movies about space creatures. First up is John Carpenter’s student film Dark Star, working from a earlier draft of what would ultimately become Dan O'Bannon’s script for Alien. John Carpenter directs this weirder, sillier space tale. After that we rediscover Steven Spielberg’s first masterpiece. A white knuckle thriller that still holds up 51 years later.
