The newly opened Alamo Drafthouse Cinema location in Mountain View has some really enticing programming in store for comedy fans in late-August.
For starters, Alamo is celebrating the 20th anniversary of “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” Judd Apatow’s directorial debut starring an absolutely hilarious Steve Carell in the titular role. The film also features Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, Catherine Keener and the greatest shoutout to Kelly Clarkson of all time. It screens at 7 p.m. Aug. 22, 4:45 p.m. Aug. 23 and 7 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Mountain View Alamo.
Film-goers can also note the 10th anniversary of another Apatow-directed movie — 2015’s “Trainwreck” — starring Amy Schumer (who also wrote the script). The jam-packed cast includes Bill Hader, Brie Larson, Colin Quinn, John Cena, Tilda Swinton and NBA legend LeBron James, who basically steals every scene that he’s in. “Trainwreck” screens at the Mountain View Alamo at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 23 and 3:45 p.m. Aug. 24.

And speaking of jam-packed casts, Alamo is also revisiting “Clue,” the 1985 whodunnit farce based on the classic board game. The Jonathan Lynn-directed film features an ensemble cast for the ages — including Tim Curry, Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull and Lesley Ann Warren. “Clue” screens at 7 p.m. Aug. 27 in Mountain View. It also has showings at the two other Bay Area Alamo locations — Valley Fair (Santa Clara) and San Francisco — Aug. 23-25.
