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:

It Happened One Night   rated 8.1/10 (1934) A renegade reporter trailing a young runaway heiress for a big story joins her on a bus heading from Florida to New York, and they end up stuck with each other. It won the five major Oscars. It is pure Capra-corn and still a delight.

·        Director: Frank Capra

·        Stars: Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert and Walter Connolly

Ideal Husband   rated 6.8/10 (1999) This comedy of well-respected people in high places, who may have a skeleton or two in their closet, is full of erroneous assumptions, unrealistic expectations, and clever dialog.

·        Director: Oliver Parker

·        Writers: Oscar Wilde (book) and Oliver Parker (Screenplay)

·        Stars: Rupert Everett, Julianne Moore and Peter Vaughan

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.
