About the film
Jim Henson’s merry band of puppet-eers come together for an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind adaptation of what may be the quintessential Christmas tale: the timeless classic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens! With a cast featuring Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and all your favorite Muppets (except Elmo), the film also stars Hollywood icon Michael Caine as Ebeneezer Scrooge.
A box office hit upon its release in 1992, The Muppet Christmas Carol was the first film to be produced after the passing of the legendary Muppets’ creator Jim Henson and was crucial in continuing the pop-cultural legacy of The Muppet franchise.

When Clark’s big plans to surprise his family with a special Christmas present get derailed by a workplace misunderstanding, it’s up to his crazy Cousin Eddie to set things right and help everybody learn the true meaning of the holidays.
Written by John Hughes, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is one of those movies you can watch a thousand times and still laugh out loud! Starring Chevy Chase, Randy Quiad, Beverly D’Angelo, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Johnny Galecki, this classic holiday film is stuffed with more comedy gold than a Christmas turkey!

About the film
One summer in 1960, five students from nearby HBCU Howard University in Washington, D.C. who were members of the Nonviolent Action Group opted to climb aboard the horses on the carousel at the Glen Echo Amusement Park — a carousel designated as “Whites Only” — in order to initiate a sit-in protest and gain recognition for the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement. Soon thereafter, folks from the surrounding communities, including many from nearby Jewish neighborhoods, joined the students and formed a picket line in support of their cause. The courageous act prompted counter-protests from the American Nazi Party and other proponents of segregation, in addition to gaining national attention in the media at the time. This little-known and now-almost-forgotten event, which preceded the famous March on Washington by two years, resulted in a reversal of Glen Echo Park’s policy of segregation and ultimately helped set off a ripple effect through the rest of America’s Civil Rights Movement that has since impacted the lives of countless others.
Using archival footage and voice-over narration from notable Hollywood actors like Jeffery Wright, Mandy Patinkin, and Dominique Thorne, Ain’t No Back to A Merry-Go-Round brilliantly tells the story of some of the individuals who played a role in the protests and how their actions demonstrate that the power to make positive social change is immensely stronger when we all work together.

About the film
Carrie White has a complicated life. At sixteen, not only is she in the depths of adolescence, but she’s also the daughter of an abusive, religiously fanatic mother and is often bullied at school because of her naïveté.

Based on Stephen King’s first novel, this unforgettable film from director Brian De Palma was originally released in 1976, so this year will mark the 50th anniversary of this classic horror film! It was also the first film adaptation of King’s work (which now amounts to more than 100 movies and TV shows), so what better way to kick-off our Enter the Kingdom series..?!
