Join us to watch these unforgettable, award-winning films.
- Nov 23 Grand Torino Clint Eastwood (In Doreene McLeod Room)
“even the misfires show an urgent engagement with the tougher, messier, bigger questions of American life”
- Dec 14 The Princess Bride (In Room 200)
Director Rob Reiner breathes vividly coloured cinematic life into William Goldman’s wondrous, wide-eyed, witty novel. Roger Ebert says: The Princess Bride “is filled with goodhearted fun, with performances by actors who seem to be smacking their lips and by a certain true innocence that survives all of Reiner’s satire.” Good Holiday fun!
- Jan 11 Away From Her (In Doreene McLeod Room)
A film adapted from the Alice Munro story “The Bear Can Over The Mountain.” Gordon Pinsent and Julie Christie. Characters are portrayed as multifaceted people filled with wisdom and true beauty, thanks to their age and not in spite of it.
