Breakheart Pass will be shown on Saturday, December 11 and Pillars of the Sky will show on Saturday, December 18.

Charles Bronson plays a prisoner fighting for his life and the lives of everyone else on the train.  The movie was made in 1975 and is 1 hour and 35 minutes long.
Pillars of the Sky is a western filmed on the Palouse. After getting settled on the reservation, Native Americans move to battle when the cavalry build a bridge and intend to open a road across the reservation. Filmed in 1956 and directed by George Marshall.
