The Luckiest Man in America and Thank You Very Much to show at Reg Lenna Center for The Arts.

Based on a true story, The Luckiest Man in America (Wednesday, May 14, at 7 p.m.) is set in May 1984, when an unemployed ice cream truck driver from Ohio (Paul Walter Hauser) steps onto the game show Press Your Luck harboring a big secret: the key to endless amounts of money. His winning streak is threatened when the bewildered executives in the control room start to uncover his real motivations. The Luckiest Man in America is rated R and is 90 minutes long.

Andy Kaufman’s provocative comedy is documented in Thank You Very Much (Friday, May 16, at 7 p.m.) Through never-before-seen footage and intimate recollections, filmmaker Alex Braverman explores Kaufman’s brief but impactful life and career. As the lines between performance and reality blur in our present age, Kaufman’s genius resonates more than ever. Thank You Very Much is unrated and is 99 minutes long.

Upcoming Movies at The Reg include Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland’s historical war drama Warfare (May 21 at 7 p.m.), Carey Mulligan in the music comedy The Ballad of Wallis Island (May 28 at 7 p.m.) and the fantasy adventure The Legend of Ochi (May 30 at 7 p.m.)
