Howard the Duck
The Beverly Theater

The Beverly Theater brings George Lucas's infamous 1986 cult classic to the big screen in downtown's Arts District. This oddball Marvel adaptation follows a wisecracking extraterrestrial duck who crash-lands in Cleveland and gets wrapped up in a battle against an interdimensional demon. With its bizarre premise, practical effects that range from charming to unsettling, and a soundtrack that leans hard into '80s rock, it's the kind of movie that has to be seen to be believed.

The film flopped spectacularly on release but has since earned a devoted following for its sheer audacity and campy sensibility. Watching it in The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat space adds another layer to the experience—there's something about sharing the more bewildering moments with a room full of people that makes the whole thing even more entertaining. The venue's excellent acoustics means you'll catch every quack and synth-heavy musical cue in all its glory.
