Teenage Groundhog Day [Special Screenings, Sept. 14-21]

Rushmore. The Frida Cinema’s Wes Anderson tribute continues with the 1998 movie that deservedly made Jason Schwartzman much more than just a Phantom Planet drummer and reopened the eyes of filmmakers to the wonder that is Bill Murray. Failing student Max Fischer (Schwartzman) is the king of extracurricular activities at his prep school, and his life seems on the upswing when he comes under the wing of millionaire Herman Blume (Murray). But it all starts coming apart after Max befriends and falls hard for teacher Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), who also becomes the object of Blume’s affections. The Frida Cinema, 305 E.

American Valhalla. It’s getting to the point where Iggy Pop is featured in more documentaries than he is on hit songs (and this is coming from someone who is a HUUUUGE Iggy/Stooges fan). American Valhalla chronicles his recent musical collaboration with Queens of the Stone Age front man Josh Homme, who co-directed the film with Andreas Neumann. It shows how the musicians came together; the recording of their first demos in the California desert that led to 2016’s Post Pop Depression, one of Iggy’s best albums; and slices of their sold-out American/European tour, including the epic performance in London’s Royal Albert Hall. Art Theatre, (562) 438-5435. Fri., 9 p.m. $8.50-$11.50.

Heavy Metal. And they call it . . . Heavy . . . Metal. OC Weekly‘s Friday Night Freakouts presents Gerald Potter­­ton’s 1981 cult classic, filled with music that many back in the day did not consider “heavy metal.” Black Sabbath? Definitely! Blue Oyster Cult, Nazareth, Journey and Sammy Hagar? Hmm, some parts of their catalogs push it. Cheap Trick, Devo, Donald Fagen, Grand Funk Railroad and Stevie Nicks? PUH-LEEZ! Of course, we didn’t really care, as we were stoned out of our minds, trying to keep up the adventures of Loc-Nar, the source of ultimate evil, passing through time and space and gratuitous animated boobies. The Frida Cinema; thefridacinema.org. Fri., 11 p.m. $10.

OC Design Film Fest. The first event, presented by and benefiting the Orange County chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers, showcases interior design in cinema and television. Screened is Steel Magnolias, the 1989 hit about a newly arrived young beautician trying to fit in with a clique of women in a small Louisiana town’s hair salon. Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts and Sally Fields are among the stars. Also showing is the 2003 rom-dram Something’s Gotta Give, in which near-senior citizen swinger Jack Nicolson, who has a taste for young women, falls in love with the accomplished Diane Keaton, who is closer to his age. Attendees also hear from speakers Beth Rubino and Melinda Ritz and enjoy popcorn and soda. Dress Circle ticket holders get all of that, plus a catered lunch and a swag bag. The Frida Cinema; thefridacinema.org. Sat., 9 a.m. $30; Dress Circle, $50.

The Karate Kid. It’s either the 1984 family drama that had Ralph Macchio shipped off to the San Fernando Valley and Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) or the 2010 remake with Jaden Smith sent to China and Mr. Han (Jackie Chan). Whichever one it is (I’m betting on the latter), the story involves a kid learning kung fu to defend himself against bullying classmates who train together at a show-no-mercy dojo. Everything builds to a showdown tournament. Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort & Marina, (949) 729-3863. Sat., dusk. Free, but it still costs to park on the premises.

The Secret Life of Pets. Watch this 3D-animated tale under the stars.

Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and low-backed beach chairs for comfortable movie viewing outdoors in Oasis Plaza, which is adjacent to Whole Foods Market.
