Donna Reed and James Stewart star in "It's a Wonderful Life."

“Miracle on 34th Street” (1947) shows at 7 p.m. tonight. This popular holiday movie features a mysterious old man who appears during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and claims to be Santa Claus. A young girl, and most of the city, struggles to decide if they believe him. 

Maureen O’Hara, John Payne, Edmund Gwenn and a young Natalie Wood star in this classic.

James Stewart again helps Clarence get his wings at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday in “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946).

It’s the story of George Bailey, who thinks he is worth more dead than alive until he meets an angel in training who helps him see how important his life truly is.

Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell and Henry Travers also star in the holiday standard.

Tickets are $3. For more information, call (270) 234-8258.
