A new month, and a new batch of classic cinema hits the Triangle area of North Carolina. See what’s hitting theaters in Cup of Moe’s Triangle area classic cinema guide, February 2018 edition!

Durham’s Carolina Theatre hosts its Retro Film Series on Friday evenings. February 2018 kicks off with “Night of the Comet” and “Teen Witch” on Friday, Feb. 2 2018. Following on Feb. 9 is a fantastic Coen Brothers double feature of “The Big Lebowski” and “Fargo.” I’m excited to announce that Cup of Moe is sponsoring “The Big Lebowski,” one of my all-time favorite films. Then, on Feb. 16, a comedic double header of “Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein” pairs with “Carl Reiner’s The Man With Two Brains.” In a special Sunday Retro Film Series entry, hit up the rescheduled “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” with “Christine” in historic Fletcher Hall.
Closing out the month, Nevermore Film Festival which celebrates sci-fi, dark fantasy, horror, suspense, mystery, and action-thrillers returns to Carolina Theatre for its 19th run. The 19th annual Nevermore Film Fest spans Feb. 23-25 2018. Stay tuned for the lineup!
