Miami Indie Cinema Roundup: Arthouse Films Aug. 13 to 19 (VIDEOS)

Remembering Marilyn
In this undated publicity photo courtesy Running Press, Marilyn Monroe is shown wearing a knife-pleated gold lamé gown made from one complete circle of fabric. She wore this dress in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." Monroe passed away a half-century ago this week, a murky death that remains one of Hollywood's most tantalizing mysteries. But look around: Her legend lives on, more vibrantly than ever. In a twist she surely would have appreciated, this 1950's bombshell has become a 21st-century pop culture phenom.

Aug. 5 marked 50 years since Marilyn Monroe's death, and Miami Beach Cinematheque is beginning a film retrospective in the Hollywood icon's honor. Watch her in "Niagara," her first big movie role, and then visit the ongoing exhibit set up at the theater to remember America's most famous blonde bombshell.

Another woman to reminisce over at MBC is Julia Child, the famed American expatriate who turned into a legendary French chef. In "Julie and Julia," Amy Adams plays a budding food blogger who attempts to cook all of Child's recipes in one year. The special screening celebrates what would have been Child's 100th birthday.
