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:

Raising Arizona rating 7.3/10 (1987) Early Coen brothers’ farce – a couple’s increasingly desperate attempt to have a baby at all costs, even if it means they have to steal one from a family that clearly has been blessed with an over-abundance.

Director: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen

Stars: Nicholas Cage, Holly Hunter and Trey Wilson

The Man Who Would Be King rating 7.8/10 (1975) A John Huston adventure film–based on a short story by Rudyard Kipling, follows two British soldiers in 19th century India who decide to abandon army life and set themselves up as kings in remote Kafiristan.

Director: John Huston

Stars: Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer

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.
