Edgewater Village Chicago is holding a series of gatherings to chat about movies. Participants will view each film on their own and then join a group discussion 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 Slapshot and Grand Budapest Hotel.

Slapshot (1977) What the puck? This one's coming in high and hard! See Paul Newman on ice (or on the rocks as we like to say) see the notorious Hansen Brothers and possibly only coincidently, even some hockey. This is no major league, it's "Slap Shot"!

Director: George Roy Hill

Stars: Paul Newman, Michael Ontkean and Strother Martin

Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) Looking for a place to stay? Try "The Grand Budapest Hotel", Wes Anderson's fast paced masterpiece of carefully crafted crazy set in a commodious hotel known for its refined taste and above all, its discretion. Rated “R” for ridiculous!

Director: Wes Anderson

Stars: Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Bill Murray, Saoirse Ronan, Harvey Keitel and Willem Dafoe

Copies of these movies are 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.

Registration is required. You will receive an email with the link to join the online Zoom discussion group.

This program is offered in partnership with the Edgewater Branch Library.
