FALL AND WINTER SCHEDULE
2010 - 2011
Barbara Steffek-Hill travels the world (and scours our DVD collection) to find the best movies you may have missed on your way to the multiplex. All films are digitally projected and accompanied by our fairly awesome sound system. Light snacking is encouraged!

Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940)
Directed By Norman Taurog
Not Rated
<imdb>
The fabulous dance team of Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell moves to the music of Cole Porter and the effect is electric! Two song-and-dance men vie for the affections of the same lady in one lavish production number after another. It simply doesn’t get any better than this.
Saturday, September 18 at 6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

The Prestige (2006)
Directed by Christopher Nolan
Rated PG-13
<imdb>
Now you see it, now you don’t. A close friendship between turn-of-the-century magicians Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale becomes a bitter rivalry when an illusion turns deadly. Mystery and suspense abound as their acts grow increasingly daring. Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson also star.
Saturday, October 16 at 6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Radio Days (1987)
Directed by Woody Allen
Rated PG
<imdb>
The lives of a working-class, Rockaway Beach family serve as the backdrop for Woody Allen’s love letter to the Golden Age of Radio. Episodes of everyday life are skillfully interwoven with scenes from popular radio programs, behind the microphone and offstage. Dianne Wiest, Mia Farrow, Julie Kavener and a very young Seth Green star in a film that turns nostalgia for a medium into a meditation on the nature of memories.
Saturday, November 20 at 6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Spellbound (1945)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Not Rated
<imdb>
In this psycho-thriller, Ingrid Bergman is a psychiatrist at an upscale institution who has serious doubts about Gregory Peck, a new doctor with a reputation that precedes him. He seems too young to have achieved so much recognition. Is he really the man he says he is or a sinister stranger?
