Tom Cruise (in Risky Business) looks ready to celebrate the opening of SIFF Cinema Egyptian.

After closing its doors last summer, the Egyptian Theatre is finally ready to officially reopen its doors as the newly rebranded SIFF Cinema Egyptian. To celebrate, this weekend SIFF hosts a weekend of beloved films that were hits at the Egyptian: Risky Business, Amélie, Enter the Dragon, Pan's Labyrinth, My Neighbor Totoro, and more. Best of all, the screenings are free. Well... basically free. Admission is free when you present a receipt (dated October 1–5) from any Capitol Hill business, otherwise tickets are $5. Either way, it's a bargain and a great way to welcome back a Capitol Hill cinematic institution.
