November 22 & 23 • 7:00pm, November 24 • 2:00pm
The Iowa Theater
I find it wonderfully serendipitous that this month’s Way Back Wednesday features have showcased films starring Tom Hanks, culminating perfectly with the release of his latest movie to close out the month! Hanks is joined by Robin Wright (Jenny in Forrest Gump) in this generational story about families and the special place they inhabit, sharing in love, loss, laughter, and life. PG-13, 1 hr 44 min

This one is a Thanksgiving Tradition at The Iowa and Popcorn is always Half Price on Way Back Wednesday!
Easily excitable Neal Page (Steve Martin) is somewhat of a control freak. Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife and kids, his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination. 1987, Rated R, 1 hr 33 min
