My Own Private Idaho (1991)

"In this loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Henry IV,” Mike Waters is a hustler afflicted with narcolepsy. Scott Favor is the rebellious son of a mayor. Together, the two travel from Portland, Oregon to Idaho and finally to the coast of Italy in a quest to find Mike’s estranged mother. Along the way they turn tricks for money and drugs, eventually attracting the attention of a wealthy benefactor and sexual deviant."

If this is your first movie with us, welcome! The Byrd is currently replacing the chairs in the main auditorium, but the recently renovated balcony is now open. Hooray! Hosts will be up there 10-15 min before showtime in the front row. If it isn’t packed, we tend to spread out so people can relax their elbows. You’re welcome to sit with or come say hi! After the movie, we’ll chat outside under the marquee. Please stay and talk with us!
