Thursday Matinee Film Series: Movie Favorites

Join us upstairs in the Community Room. No registration required.

Educator and Film Series facilitator Victor Messick is back and “Movie Favorites” is the theme for seven Thursdays starting May 7.

Librarians and Thursday Matinee regulars, Elise, Cheri, Victor, Elly, Colette, Donna, and Carol will share one movie each from their list of favorites and with Victor’s help will facilitate the discussion afterwards. Come watch a movie, stay for the discussion and maybe you’ll leave with a new movie to add to your list of favorites!

Take Shelter: Curtis (Michael Shannon), a father and husband, is starting to experience bad dreams and hallucinations. Assuming mental illness, he seeks medical help and counseling. However, fearing the worst, he starts building an elaborate and expensive storm shelter in their backyard. This storm shelter threatens to tear apart his family, threatens his sanity and his standing in the community, but he builds it to save his family's life. (2011) (2h) Colette has selected this as one of her favorites. She will join us to talk about why after the film.
