Movie Night at FCCSR

Each month a bunch of us get together to watch a movie.  Our preference is for small films that didn’t attract a lot of box-office attention but have something to say about the human condition. That said, over the years we’ve watched movies of every type (except flying-body-parts action flicks.)    We usually meet on the last Friday of the month in the DeHaan Center at Pilgrim Park, which is equipped with a high definition big screen, comfortable easy chairs, fresh coffee and a microwave for the all-important free popcorn.

Join us!

Here’s what’s coming up in the months ahead:

• June 28. “The Intouchables.”  A big comedy hit in France last year. Sort of like “Driving Miss daisy, but funnier, with a wheel chair and in French.
• July 27. “The Sweet Smell of Success.” To celebrate Burt Lancaster’s 100th birthday, we’ll watch the best film he ever made (and the one that established Tony Curtis as a serious actor.)
• August 30 “A Royal Affair.” A 2012 dramatization of a true incident in Danish history, when a German Doctor ruled in place of a mad young King while he carried on an affair with the Queen.
• September 27 “Anna Karenina.” The controversial 2012 adaptation of Tolstoy’s classic written by Tom Stoppard and staring Keira Knightly and Jude Law.
• October 25 “The Hustler.”  Our Movie Night regulars specifically requested this 1961 classic. Superficially, it’s about big-money pool, but it’s really an exploration of what “Character” really means.
