In January 2023, The Roxy curated one of our most beloved series, a 15-film journey through the 2022 list of the greatest films ever made, curated by the journal Sight & Sound. This month, we return to the canon with SIGHT & SOUND: REDUX, another dazzling array of the world's best movies. Best of all, every ticket purchased to one of these films is an entry into a drawing to win subscriptions to Sight & Sound and the Criterion Channel.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: Questions arise when Senator Stoddard (James Stewart) attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) in a small Western town. Flashing back, we learn Doniphon saved Stoddard, then a lawyer, when he was roughed up by a crew of outlaws terrorizing the town, led by Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). As the territory's safety hung in the balance, Doniphon and Stoddard, two of the only people standing up to him, proved to be very important, but different, foes to Valance.
