This week's spotlight titles are all designed to dazzle the senses, hit your funny bone, and make you feel darn good:

Jonathan Demme's "Married to the Mob" (1988) starring a luminous Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine, Dean Stockwell, and a scene-stealing Mercedes Ruehl.
Alfonso Arau's 1992 cross-cultural hit "Como Agua Para Chocolate" (Like Water for Chocolate), a romantically charged adaptation of Laura Esquivel's timeless novel.
And, a first-ever Club listing of a television series now streaming! Disney+'s groundbreaking TV series from Marvel Studios, "WandaVision," starring Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, and the inimitable Kathryn Hahn.
The stuff of life, indeed.

The holy trinity of The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, and The Towering Inferno reign supreme for reasons that have much to do with their hammy star casts, sprawling narratives, and varying degrees of special effects. The latest installment of the Carreón Cinema Club: "It's a Disaster" Edition spotlights five films that either embrace the camp or offer a more grounded reality to the term "disaster."
1. The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) -- Directed by Val Guest
2. Threads (1984) -- Directed by Mick Jackson
3. The Swarm (1978) -- Directed by Irwin Allen
4. Airport (1970) -- Directed by George Seaton
5. Greenland (2020) -- Directed by Ric Roman Waugh
