In a late-career performance , Wayne plays an aging rancher who , abandoned by his usual employees , sets out on a massive cattle drive aided only by a group of young schoolboys . Dern is memorably creepy as a shaggy-haired rustler shadowing the herd . The music by John Williams , some of his very best , is alternately rousing and elegiac .

2 p . m . A docent leads a 40-minute tour , docent ' s choice .
2 p . m . Sunday Cinematheque : Music by John Williams : Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , USA , 1984 , 35mm , 118 min . Directed by Steven Spielberg , cast : Harrison Ford , Kate Capshaw , Ke Huy Quan . Indy ( Ford ) is recruited to infiltrate an ancient , evil cult that has kidnapped and enslaved all of the children from a small village in India . This follow-up to Raiders of the Lost Ark adds a great deal more humor and even a musical number to its continuing tribute to classic Saturday matinee adventure films and serials , but it ’ s the brilliant action sequences , including a rollicking mine-car chase , that makes this memorable and a must see on the big screen . This 35mm stereo print provides a fine showcase for one of the very best scores of John Williams , who builds on the familiar Raiders march with a whole new set of themes and leitmotifs .
12:30 p . m . A docent leads a 40-minute tour in the permanent collection .

2 p . m . Sunday Cinematheque : Music by John Williams : The Missouri Breaks , USA , 1976 , 35mm , 126 min . Directed by Arthur Penn , cast : Jack Nicholson , Marlon Brando , Randy Quaid . Real-life next-door neighbors Brando and Nicholson made only one film together , this dark and odd 70s Western from acclaimed auteur Penn ( Bonnie and Clyde ). Nicholson plays the leader of a gang of horse thieves who are hunted by Brando , a highly eccentric hired killer who occasionally works in drag . John Williams ’ music is appropriately minimalist and moody .

2 p . m . Sunday Cinematheque : Music by John Williams : Born on the Fourth of July , USA , 1989 , 35mm , 144 min . Directed by Oliver Stone , cast : Tom Cruise , Kyra Sedgwick , Willem Dafoe . Vietnam veteran Stone ’ s second movie to deal directly with the war is an adaptation of the autobiography of Ron Kovic . A gung-ho marine who was wounded and paralyzed during his second tour of duty , Kovic returned to the U . S . and became a leading anti-war activist . Born on the Fourth of July is solidly anchored by a powerhouse Cruise performance as Kovic and John Williams ’ mournful Americana score , featuring trumpet soloist Tim Morrison .
