Do you like to chat about movies? Participants view each film on their own and then join a group discussion and critique via Zoom. Movies are selected through discussion and a decision of Chat participants. Join the Movie Chat and bring your recommendations! This week’s movies are:

The Dish - IMDB 7.2/10 (2000) A radio receiver was set-up on a sheep farm near a remote Australian town to allow communications with space probes and astronauts from the Southern Hemisphere. The movie takes a smart, and witty look at the differing U.S. & Australian cultures.

Forbidden Planet - IMDB 7.5/10 (1956) A starship crew in the 23rd century goes to a distant planet to investigate the silence of a colony set-up 20 years ago. They find only two survivors, a powerful robot, and the strange, evil and irresistible force within the planet.

* Director: Fred M. Wilcox

* Actors: Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen

Copies of these movies are often available on DVD at the Edgewater Branch library for checkout with your library card or you can watch them online through a streaming service of your choice.
