The Beach Theatre periodically shows a cult classic on Friday nights, such as "The Big Lebowski" or "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." "Cult classics" are movies that usually aren't very popular with reviewers or the mainstream, but they still have found a following with people who love movies that aren't mainstream. Another cult classic is "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that plays at this theatre every Saturday night. A lot of people thought the movie was terrible, but it has recieved a huge following, particularly with the midnight audiences, that has made it last in theatres since 1975.
Anyone who would like to suggest a cult classic for our 'Friday Night Cult Flicks' is welcomed to do so. Please email us through our Contact Us page or call us at 727-360-6697.

REVIEW: "The Big Lebowski is the type of movie that is so funny, and so clever, you want nothing more but to meet the Coen brothers, congratulate them personally for their unique talent, and get inside their heads and find out what makes these two geniuses 'tick'... The first time I saw this movie... I enjoyed it, but did not fully appreciate its level of humor and raw talent... But trust me, this is a movie that gets more funny every time you see it, even if it's your thousandth time seeing it. Its level of comedy, action, brutality, and vulgarity become that much more evident and important. The characters are brilliantly written by the coen brothers, and, likewise, are brilliantly portrayed by the actors. The Big Lebowski is like no other film. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. There is no other film such as TBL that is sharp and witty all the way through. One of the Joel and Ethan Coen's best, and one of the movie industry's best comedic films of all time. You want to go see this flick." - Written by "cleaf" on IMDB.com.
