Be Kind, Rewind

December 11–31, 2026

Join us as we rewind the best and biggest films of 2026—from favorite titles that graced the Siskel Film Center’s screens to movies that thrilled audiences across the country. A mini-reflection on the cinematic year that was, BE KIND, REWIND offers a survey that may include everything from suspicious samurai to nervous dinner-party hosts, from powerful ancient warriors to powerless country-club employees, and more. As the final days of 2026 slip away, the Siskel Film Center invites you to consider what these films reveal not just about the movies of the year but about 2026 itself.
