Celebrate Valentine's Day with Two Unforgettable Screenings at The ShowRoom

originally published: 02/10/2025


Picnic at Hanging Rock

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Get into the Valentine's Day spirit at The ShowRoom in Asbury Park with two special screenings that capture romance, mystery, and timeless storytelling. The films are Picnic at Hanging Rock and Casablanca. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at showroomcinemas.com.

On February 13, 2025 at 7:30pm, experience the 50th anniversary 4K restoration of Peter Weir’s Picnic at Hanging Rock, widely considered the greatest film to come out of Australia. Drifting between dream and reality, this hypnotic mystery follows a group of young women from an Australian boarding school who embark on a Valentine’s Day picnic in 1900—only to vanish without a trace. As the sun-drenched afternoon fades into eerie stillness, their absence lingers like a haunting whisper. Don’t miss this breathtaking film on the big screen.

Then, on February 14, 2025 at 7:30pm, fall in love all over again with Casablanca. Set against the backdrop of World War II, this beloved classic stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as former lovers whose paths cross again in a Moroccan nightclub. With romance, intrigue, and unforgettable dialogue, Casablanca remains one of the greatest love stories ever told.

Whether you're drawn to the haunting beauty of Picnic at Hanging Rock or the timeless romance of Casablanca, this eclectic pair of films offers something for every movie lover. From the allure of an unsolved mystery to the passion of a love that defies war and fate, The ShowRoom invites you to celebrate Valentine’s with two films that prove why cinema continues to captivate hearts.

The ShowRoom is located at 707 Cookman Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
