While the saying “any publicity is good publicity” rings true in most circles, Mystery Science Theater 3000 always found the opposite. The show, starring a man and his robot sidekicks stuck on a space station blasting bad films, morphed into a cult classic through zany one-liners like “They must have spent tens of dollars on this.” Twelve years after the show’s demise comes Cinematic Titanic, with a full-length film and the original cast of MST3K—Joel, Servo, Crow, Frank and Pearl. The geek fest commences Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Wells Fargo Center. 50 Mark West Springs Road, Santa Rosa. 8pm. $35. 707.546.3600.

An all-inclusive knowledge on knives and their related accoutrements? A deep-seated obsession for slicing recently departed flesh? These aren’t characteristics parents usually foster in their children—unless, of course, the family’s lineage is heavily splattered with a long line of butchers. The Dutch film 'The Odd One Out' is part of the third annual Petaluma International Film Festival, and explores the effects of a child’s inability to assimilate into the family business. A complete schedule of films is at www.petalumafilmfestival.org, and The Odd One Out screens Saturday, Oct. 22, at Boulevard Cinemas. 200 C St., Petaluma. 9:50pm. $10. 707.762.7469.

So apparently the Olsen twins have a ridiculously attractive younger sister with a slightly more relevant film career than her entrepreneurial New York Minute sisters. In “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” one of many films featured at the Mill Valley Film Festival, Olsen plays Martha, a young woman damaged by two years in a family style cult. The film follows her path towards redemption and quest to reconnect with her estranged sister. Check out director/screenwriter Sean Durkin’s debut film Saturday, Oct. 15, at the Smith Rafael Film Center. 1118 Fourth St., San Rafael. 8pm. $25. 877.874.6833.

Young love is impossible to dictate. ‘Happy Family,’ the second movie in the Marin Italian Film Festival series, is a meta-rich film bringing a scriptwriter, Ezio, into the depths of his own story when two brazenly different families are reluctantly brought together through the stubborn love of two 16-year-olds. As the script carries on through its production stages, the members of each family bug Ezio to write them in for a bigger part. This family affair screens Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Marin Civic Center. 10 Ave. of the Flags, San Rafael. 5:30pm and 7:45pm. $14. 415.499.6400.

It’s easy to classify the films that have defined America. They feel like home—and they’re all preserved in the National Film Registry, the subject of a new documentary on film preservation. As an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival as well as various others across the country, These Amazing Shadows takes a place next to many of the movies it commemorates. The documentary tells the story of the Registry, which preserves “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” films as ordered by the Library of Congress. From The Sound of Music to Charlie Chaplin to independent documentaries and even home movies, these meaningful films represent American cultural history. The collection is explored in the documentary, with interviews from many prominent filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight), John Lasseter (Toy Story, Finding Nemo) and many more. Pay tribute to the classic films that touched you most at one of three screenings on Thursday, July 21, at 8:15pm; Saturday, July 23, at 3pm; Sunday, July 24, at 5:15pm. Sixth Street Playhouse, 52 W. Sixth St., Santa Rosa. $8–$10. www.rialtocinemas.com.

Only the very fit and/or very crazy can even fathom racing the Tour Divide, probably the world’s hardest mountain bike race which runs 2,700 miles from Banff, Canada, to Antelop Well, N.M., at the Mexican border.

551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. 7pm. $15. 707.522.0719.
