NOT a Laughing Matter... Political Movies in Summertime!

After last year's Canadian film series, the viewers remembered several excellent, funny, scary, and prescient films for our current times and situations.

So this year, we're presenting a full half-century of picture-show speculation. Guaranteed you will laugh, you will cry, you will stay up all night biting your nails, or you will swear off TV news.

July 8 Andy Griffin, Patricia Neal in A FACE IN THE CROWD, 1957
July 15 Tim Robbins, Alan Rickman in BOB ROBERTS, 1992
July 22 Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro in WAG THE DOG, 1997
July 29 Tom Hollander, James Gandolfini in IN THE LOOP, 2009

Free discussion after the show, and free popcorn and lemonade to keep us energized.
