Each week we will have a 15-minute discussion prior to watching the film, followed by insights gained while viewing the film.
Our theme for the Fall Quarter will be Films of the 1970s. Titles include the Conversation, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Straight, Time Being There, Two-Lane Blacktop and Blazing Saddles. Join us as we explore drama, action and comedy from our younger years!
