On Sept. 11, the film club officially kicked off the school year with It Happened One Night. The concensus was that the movie was good, as far as I could tell. But that's more for them to let me know by sending comments. Here's the line up for Sept. 25th's film club session.
The Adventures of Robin Hood
(1938) NR
This 1938 swashbuckler, which won Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Interior Decoration and Best Original Score, stars Errol Flynn as Robin Hood, champion of the poor and disenfranchised. Robin Hood goes up against his worst enemy, Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Basil Rathbone), a cold-hearted royal who's after the woman Robin Hood loves, Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland). provided by Netflix
The Lady Vanishes
(1938) UR
Traveling aboard a transcontinental train, young Iris Henderson (Margaret Lockwood) becomes alarmed when an acquaintance, elderly governess Miss Froy (Dame Mae Whitty), suddenly vanishes. Inexplicably, all the other passengers deny having seen the woman. So Iris turns to her lone ally -- handsome music scholar Gilbert Redman (Michael Redgrave) -- for help. As the two search for clues to Froy's disappearance, they uncloak a sinister plot. provided by Netflix
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
(1939) UR
When idealistic junior senator Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) arrives in Washington, he's full of plans and dazzled by his surroundings -- qualities he retains even in the face of widespread corruption on the part of his colleagues. Jean Arthur puts in a sharp performance as Smith's cynical secretary, and former cowboy star Harry Carey makes a fine vice president in this Academy Award-winning classic from director Frank Capra. provided by Netflix
The Wizard of Oz
(1939) G
Dreams really do come true. … Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Munchkins and all of Oz's other fantastic characters spring to life in this restored version of the 1939 classic starring Judy Garland. Featuring commentary from film historian John Fricke and several cast members, this renewed version will send fans soaring over the rainbow. Also included: a featurette about the restoration process, a storybook and more.
Start voting NOW! By the way...The Adventures of Robin Hood is my Uncle Rick's favorite movie of all time and The Wizard of Oz is, his wife, Aunt Mary's favorite movie of all time. So we are pitting them against each other!
