Since there are a limited number of hours for us to screen the films on the last day of the exhibit – Sunday, January 13th – we can't show all of the films. But we are reviewing the choices and know that whichever films are selected from this list, there will be plenty of Gene Autry music, comedy and action at our movie marathon!

• Gene Autry Movie Marathon

We will start the movie marathon as soon as the museum doors open and keep it running until closing.

It's hard to believe that the Gene Autry and the Twentieth-Century West: The Centennial Exhibition 1907-2007 at the Autry National Center is coming to an end. We've enjoyed these past few months immensely and are delighted that the exhibit rekindled memories for so many fans while at the same time introduced the Cowboy to a new audience.
