Halloween (1978)
Carpenter's original, the one with the synth line and the very patient camera. Still the cleanest slasher ever made, and it barely shows any blood.

Jurassic Park (1993)
The water glass, the kitchen, the T. rex. Spielberg's dinosaurs hold up better than almost anything made since, and this is a three-day run.
Jurassic Park (1993)
Second day of the Jurassic Park run. Saturday is the one that sells, so buy ahead if you want the good seats.
Jurassic Park (1993)
Last day of the Jurassic Park run over Labor Day weekend. Good rainy-Sunday fallback if the holiday plans collapse.

Halloween House Decorating Contest
Registered houses go on a borough tour map and neighbors vote by email or phone through Halloween. Free, drive it yourself, and cash prizes go to the top three. Register your own house by October 17.
Crawl O'Clock
An hour of open-ended play for babies and toddlers on the move: pop-up tunnel, soft climbing blocks, sensory tiles, shakers and scarves. Come for the whole hour or five minutes.
Music and Movement
Songs, instruments and moving around for small children, Monday mornings in the large meeting room. The branch is closed for the holiday on October 12, so that one week skips.
