The Stranger

(FILM) Three reasons to see the 1935 movie Ruggles of Red Gap, even if you've never heard of director Leo McCarey: (1) it mocks your neighbors—Ruggles is set in Washington State, and it demonstrates that, among other deficits of knowledge, none of us rubes can recite the Gettysburg Address; (2) it stars the hilarious Charles Laughton; and (3) there's only one print in existence, so this may be your only chance to see it on the big (well, moderately sized) screen. (Grand Illusion, 1403 NE 50th St, 523-3935. $5–$7.50, 7 and 9 pm.)
