Moonstruck Lights Up Red Bank for Valentine’s Week — With a Local Dining Bonus
Classic film series brings Cher and Nicolas Cage's beloved romantic comedy back to the big screen — plus a local dining perk
Red Bank, NJ — Romance, laughter, and a little Italian-American magic come to the big screen as Marquee Classic Movies, hosted by film presenters Debbie Higgins and Joe DeIorio, brings a special Valentine’s Week screening of the beloved Academy Award®–winning romantic comedy Moonstruck (1987) to the Basie Center Cinema House on Thursday, February 12.
Starring Cher in her Oscar-winning role alongside Nicolas Cage, Moonstruck is widely regarded as one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. Set in Brooklyn’s Italian-American community, the film follows Loretta Castorini, a practical widow whose orderly life takes an unexpected turn when she falls for her fiancé’s passionate brother. Filled with sharp dialogue, heartfelt performances, and unforgettable moments under a glowing full moon, the film remains a timeless celebration of love, fate, and family.
The screening is part of the Marquee Classic Movies Winter Series, a growing community film program curated by Higgins and DeIorio to bring classic cinema back to the big screen through a shared, theatrical experience. Known for their engaging introductions and immersive touches, the duo continues to build a welcoming space for movie lovers to gather and experience film together.
