In 1941, Lon Cheney starred in cinema's first, and most famous, werewolf movie. In 1964, he returned to the genre with Face of the Screaming Werewolf, a movie that's, um, a movie. But barely. Joy Cinema. 9:15 pm Wednesday, May 20.
Never mind Kanye. French New Wave director Jacques Rivette's dark and twisted fantasies are even stranger, and don't require you to endure Nicki Minaj cameos. Church of Film presents his pirate revenge adventure Noroit, inspired by Thomas Middleton, though containing unauthorized samples from Shakespeare. North Star Ballroom. 8 pm Wednesday, May 20.
Hecklevision takes on the videogame adaptation Double Dragon, a film that makes Super Mario Bros. look like…actually, no, it still looks like shit. They're both just the shittiest. But at least this one has the T-100 with bleached-blond hair. Hollywood Theatre. 9:30 pm Wednesday, May 20.
Ruth Gordon may not be the sexiest of cinematic cougars, but if Harold and Maude taught us anything, it's that the voice of Cat Stevens is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Hollywood Theatre. 9:30 pm Thursday, May 21.
NW Film Center's Nicholas Ray retrospective arrives at the director's most celebrated work, Rebel Without a Cause (Friday-Saturday), in addition to the James Mason-starring addiction drama Bigger than Life (Saturday-Sunday) and noir classic On Dangerous Ground (Sunday).

Filmed by Bike returns for its 13th year of showcasing two-wheeled cinema.

Cinema 21 provides its monthly Tommy Wiseau dose with The Room and episode of his impossibly awful—even by Wiseau standards—sitcom, The Neighbors. Cinema 21. 10:45 pm Friday, May 22.
Stanley Kubrick accomplished many things in his long and storied career, but perhaps the most impressive is how he managed to take a movie full of kinky sex and make it as boring as Eyes Wide Shut. To stay awake, try to spot the digital furniture censors dropped into the (extremely dull) orgy scene. NW Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium. 2 pm Saturday, May 23.
Never mind the questionable hockey moves in The Mighty Ducks. I'm more curious as to why a judge who thinks the best rehab for a dickhead lawyer busted for DUI is to put him in charge of a bunch of at-risk kids. Hollywood Theatre. Saturday-Sunday, May 23-24.
People often criticize Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket for essentially being two drastically different movies stapled together. But between the harrowing boot-camp sequence and the surreal examination of soldiers' moral decay, at least they're both among the best war films in history. Century Clackamas Town Center. 2 pm Sunday, May 24.
Profile Theatre opens up its cinematic sock drawer for a showing of Hysteria, the story of how the first electric dildo got a bunch of Brits' knickers in a bunch. Hollywood Theatre. 7 pm Monday, May 25.
