Event Details

We're kicking off a mini-series presenting some of the most critically acclaimed movies that aren't currently available for streaming.

This week: Cocoon, directed by Ron Howard and starring Don Ameche, Jessica Tandy, and many more. The residents of a Florida rest home get a new lease of life when they stumble across an alien "fountain of youth" in a disused holiday home. Unbeknown to them, aliens have been using the swimming pool in the house to store their cocooned brethren, giving the waters a powerful, rejuvenating quality. A magical story of love, friendship and the human spirit.

Cocoon won two Academy Awards, one for Best Visual Effects and one for Best Supporting Actor.

1985 | PG-13
