Election/You Can Count on Me

This double feature presents two beloved indie dramedies: in ELECTION (1999), a vengeful teacher (Matthew Broderick) stops at nothing to prevent an ambitious student (Reese Witherspoon) from winning a high-school election for student-council president; and in YOU CAN COUNT ON ME (2000), a small-town single mom (Laura Linney) finds her life turned upside down when her wayward brother (Mark Ruffalo) shows up after a long absence.
