The greatest hip hop/breakdancing/graffiti/documentary/drama film is alive and well for a special Sunday screening under the stars of the 1983 classic Wild Style starring Fab Five Freddy, Grandmaster Flash and of course graf legend Lee. Presented by Cinespia at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

From the Cinespia hip hop heads:

“Spirited, fun and funky, Wild Style bursts with flavor. Breakdancers, MCs, artists and DJs provide the backdrop for this sweet love story of two graffitti writers. Wild Style has become an invaluable document of the youthful and unaffected scene which became the hip hop movement. Filmed in the South Bronx, it captures the rare moment when these talented kids from one of the poorest neighborhoods in the country created the most important artistic movement of a generation. Starring Patti Astor, Lee Quinones, Fab 5 Freddy, Grandmaster Flash and more. With special suprise guests !!

Ray Liotta + Joe Pesci + Robert DeNiro + Lorraine Bracco x Martin Scorcese = my favorite movie of all time and an all-time classic, 1990’s Goodfellas and it’s playing alongside those who sleep with the fishes. Presented by Cinespia at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. “Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.”

From the f-ing clowns at Cinespia:

“The classic gangster tale told by master filmmaker Martin Scorcese. Based on a true story, Henry Hill rises through through the ranks of the new york mafia in the 50s and 60s, moving from theft to murder. Goodfellas has become an iconic film, not only because of the rare glimpse into the secret world of the mob, but also the wild energy of the camera and hilarious and terrifying performances. Starring Ray Liotta, Robert Deniro and Joe Pesci, with an epic soundtrack loaded with the Rolling Stones, Nillson, the Shangri Las, George Harrison, Aretha Franklin and more.

I couldn’t think of a better place to die laughing than the Hollywood Forever Cemetery as Cinespia presents one of the funniest comedies of all time with the Jim Abrahams and Zucker brothers 1980 classic Airplane!

From Cinespia:

“The one that started it all! Wild, wacky and downright hilarious, Airplane is a brilliant send-up of 70s disaster films told in an endless stream of jokes. When the pilots of a plane become ill, the passengers only hope lies with an ex- army pilot, who’s terrified of flying. Loved for generations, Airplane is still one of the funniest movies ever made! With special guest star Kareem Abdul Jabaar. Join us under the skies for this classic screening. DJ Jun spins before and after the movie.”

An American film legend receives a special Fourth of July weekend tribute as Cinespia pays homage to the late great Dennis Hopper with the director/actor’s 1969 classic Easy Rider at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

From Cinespia:

“Easy Rider was Hopper’s directorial debut, and its meteoric success single handedly changed the film industry forever. Filled with sun-drenched psychedelic photography, elegant, energetic editing and a colorful cast of hippies, call girls, bikers and rednecks. It is one of the most authentic portrayals of the era.

Maverick, outlaw, photographer, director, actor: Dennis Hopper’s life was as colorful and wild as his film career. Whether raving like a madman, or lucid, cold and calculating, Hopper always handled his roles with aplomb. Join us under the stars in a tribute to this remarkable man.

The age old tale of male prostitution and sickly con men in the Big Apple makes it’s way to LA as the 1969 best picture winner Midnight Cowboy, starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman in legendary roles, get’s The Hollywood Forever Cemetery treatment courtesy of Cinespia.

From Cinespia:

“An artistic tour de force on its release, Midnight Cowboy is still a brave and moving portrait of an unusual friendship. Jon Voight plays Joe Buck, a naive country boy who travels to the big city to meet rich women. Instead he meets Ratzo Rizzo, a two bit con man played to perfection by Dustin Hoffman. Together they brave 42nd st, Warhol parties, and the wild world of Manhattan in the late 60s. This colorful backdrop is embellished by Schlesinger’s daring filmmaking which incorporates the techniques of the psychedelic underground film scene with one of hollywood’s greatest stories. Winner of three oscars. Co-presented by Outfest, proceeds will go towards 2010 Outfest Film Festival.
