Sling Blade 30th Anniversary (1996, R)

Celebrate 30 years of Sling Blade, the Academy Award–winning film written by and starring Arkansas native Billy Bob Thornton. This powerful Southern drama tells the story of a quiet, complex man navigating life after institutionalization, forming unexpected bonds along the way. Deeply moving and richly acted, the film remains a landmark in independent cinema and a compelling piece of Arkansas film history.
