The Princess Bride was considered a modest success when it was first released theatrically in 1987, but like many such films, increased in popularity over the years due to frequent TV appearances, video and even theatrical rereleases.

Now, you can relive the love story between Westley (Sarandon) and Buttercup (Wright) and the vengeance of Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) as told by granddad (Falk) to his ailing grandson (Savage) in this delightful action/comedy/romance!

A young boy at home sick and bored to tears is visited by his grandfather.  To cheer him, Grandpa has brought a storybook; The Princess Bride, a tale of the love between the beautiful Buttercup and the besotted Westley, a love cruelly interrupted by Westley's tragic apparent death at sea when seeking his fortune. 

Concerned that the story sounds suspiciously like a yucky romance, he is soon enthralled by the tale, interrupting at various times with questions and commentary!  

This is a film not to be missed on The Strand's giant screen, HD Digital Projection and 45 speaker surround sound.  Not even the local stadium cinemas offer that kind of hi-tech sound system!

IT'S A MOVIE!  IT'S A FARM MARKET!  IT'S THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS AT THE STRAND!

Before each movie, Mazur’s Farm will be selling tomatoes and other produce in front of the theater. Eat Them Before They Eat You!

Mazur’s Greenhouse and Farm

329 Benvenue Road Zelienople  412-999-3079

We all know what happens when science messes with Mother Nature. Ants the size of gas trucks. Spiders bigger than a house. A green lizard that spits fire and terrifies Japan.

Now scientists are meddling with our food and suddenly, America gets a frightening tomato surprise!

Federal Agent Mason Dixon and his cracked team of experts race against time to stop vicious tomatoes from destroying the human race. A nosy reporter and a masked gunman bent on killing Mason add to the chaos.

This campy cult classic actually did such a great job of spoofing B movies that it spawned three more movies, a cartoon series, three video games and a comic book.

Starring: John Wayne, Claire Trevor & Thomas Mitchell

Stagecoach won 2 Academy Awards (Best Supporting Actor-Mitchell, Best Score) and John Ford got a nomination for Best Director.  This classic western was one of many memorable collaborations between Ford and upcoming megastar John Wayne.  Although he'd directed several westerns during the silent film era, Ford had yet to direct a 'talkie' western.  

The film was almost never made as Ford insisted on Wayne in the pivotal role of outlaw, 'The Ringo Kid'.  But his stubbornness paid off as Stagecoach was lauded as one of the most influential films ever made. Edward Buscombe writes that the introduction of Wayne's character was "one of the most stunning entrances in all of cinema...The camera dollies quickly towards a tight close-up...so fast that the operator can't quite hold the focus.   Orson Welles argued that it was a perfect textbook of film making and claimed to have watched it more than 40 times during the making of Citizen Kane.

A simple stagecoach trip is complicated by the fact that Geronimo and his Apache warriors are on the warpath. The passengers on the coach include a a drunken doctor, two women, a bank manager who has taken off with his client's money, and the famous Ringo Kid, among others.

Starring: Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell & Basil Rathbone

Based on the Johnston McCulley story The Curse of Capistrano, originally published in 1919, which introduced the masked hero Zorro, the movie's story is set in Southern California during the early 19th century. 

The Mark of Zorro deals with the apparently foppish son of a wealthy ranchero, who returns to California after a sojourn at school in Spain, only to be horrified at the way the common people are being mistreated by corrupt Governor (J. Edward Bromberg).  

Don Diego (Power) adopts the guise of Zorro, a Robin Hood-like outlaw who becomes a defender of the people. Meanwhile, he romances the governor's beautiful niece, Lolita (Darnell), and flirts with the governor's wife Inez (Gale Sondergaard), filling her head with all the pleasures of Madrid and raising her desire to move there — with her corrupt husband. He also has to fend off the governor's ablest henchman, the malevolent Captain Pasquale (Rathbone)

The film's largest claim to fame is the climactic duel between Zorro (Power) and Captain Pasquale (Rathbone). Rathbone was known already in Hollywood as an outstanding classical fencer, but moviegoers were treated to the surprise of Power being excellent in his own right. The duel is extremely ornate and full of finesse, as opposed to Rathbone's more famous duel with Errol Flynn in Robin Hood.  The duel in The Mark of Zorro is considered by many movie buffs to be the finest swordfight in cinema. Rathbone suffered two scratches on his forehead during its filming, and later said of Power, "He could fence Errol Flynn into a cocked hat."
