What it is: In 1970s San Francisco, spores from space begin duplicating and replacing the human residents. A small group of people become aware of the threat of the 'pod people' and look to fight back... or merely escape!


Why we're showing it: Considered one of the best remakes of all time, and a classic of 1970s paranoid cinema, Invasion of the Body Snatchers updates the themes from the 1950s version, highlighting a culture on the cusp of the Me Decade.
