The Cable Guy
The Beverly Theater

Jim Carrey turns the friendly neighborhood cable installer into something genuinely unsettling in this mid-90s comedy that's equal parts hilarious and uncomfortable to sit through. The Beverly Theater's intimate screening room, with its excellent acoustics and cozy 150-seat layout, makes for a great spot to revisit this one—there's something about watching Carrey's manic energy on the big screen, surrounded by other people laughing (or wincing) at the same moments, that hits different than streaming it at home.

The story follows a lonely, awkward cable guy who latches onto a customer after a simple apartment hookup, and things spiral into increasingly bizarre territory from there. It's a comedy with real teeth, showing Carrey stretching beyond the rubber-faced physical humor he was known for at the time into something darker and stranger. Between the film's cult following and the theater's cocktail lounge and terrace for before or after, it's a solid excuse to spend an evening with a movie that's aged into something of a weird little classic.
