Eleven: If you thought the movie “10" was something, wait till you see this one. Bo De rek move over (or roll over?) Oh, in case you're wondering — in order to compete with "10" they had to rate this one X. Brooks West stars. Midnight Friday and Saturday. Manor East 823-8300 Raiders of the Lost Ark: It looks like this movie title has been permanently affixed to the marquee of this theater and the film will be shown forever. Maybe that's how motion pic tures get the figures for "largest net gross" — if this one's left around much longer it's sure to win. It still stars Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Karen Allen as his fiesty female com panion. Rated PG. Time Bandits: A fictional-kid movie for adults about a little boy who gets mixed up with six dwarfs who have a map which shows holes in time, where one can step into the Middle Ages or onto the deck of the Titanic. Strange but interesting. Starring a zany cast of characters includ ing Shelly Duvall, Sean Con nery, Ian Holm, and directed by Terry Gilliam (Monty Python fans rejoice!). George Harrison provides the musical score. Eye Of The Needle: Donald Sutherland plays a Nazi spy on the loose in England. Kate Nelli- gan is the affection-starved wife who has an affair with Suther land and then must destroy him to save herself, to say nothing of the Free World. This is a well- made thriller resembling the films of the '40s. Rated R. Stripes: Bill Murray stars in this cross between "Private Ben jamin" and "Animal House." He plays a cabbie who enlists while in a rut over his going-no- where life and ends up forming his own brigade and teaching his troops everything he knows. Midnight Friday and Saturday. Rated R. MSC Cepheid Variable 845-1515 Y) octor DooVittle: Rex Harri son stars in this Academy Award winning musical version of the fondly remembered chil dren's tale.

Thursday at 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. in 601 Rudder. MSC Aggie Cinema 845-2916 Ea Cage Aux Folles II: If you liked La Cage Aux Folles I, you'll really like this continuation of the story of Renalto and Albin. This time they find themselves involved in international intri gue and the results are funny as always. This is the sequel to the movie that conquered America's fear of captions (French no less.) Rated R. Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and 9:45 in Rudder Theater. No Nukes: The film footage of the five "No Nukes" concerts held at Madison Square Garden, N.Y.

Midnight Friday and Saturday in Rudder Theater. 1 he Idolmaker: Lacking the looks to be a rock idol herself, Vinne Viccari (Ray Sharkey) molds others to fame.

Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in Rudder Theater. Plitt Cinema I&II: 846-6714 rxIlAmerkan Werewolf in London: Expect to alternately laugh and be sick. Writer- director John Landis created this weird story of a werewolf, com plete with full moons and man- in to-fur transformations. David Naughton plays the werewolf.

Arthur: Dudley Moore plays a millionaire playboy (Arthur) whose life has been one long, usually drunken spree until he falls for a nobody (Liza Minnelli) from Queens. John Gielgud as Arthur's salty-tounged valet and best friend just about steals the show. Theme song by Christopher Cross. Rated PG.
