Join us January 21st at 7:00pm for our movie night featuring I, Tonya.

 

The French Connection

Wednesday January 15th at 7:30 pm, in the Party Room

Shot during a cold and gray New York winter in 1971. This movie is all surface, movement, violence, and suspense.

Popeye Doyle is nihilistic, racist, and prone to violent street smarts. Relive the famous chase scene as Popeye Doyle threads his car through city streets, chasing an elevated train.

A Shot in the Dark

Wednesday December 4th at 7:00 pm, in the Party Room

The funniest of the Pink Panther movies;   Peter Sellers at his best

A bedroom seduction scene interrupted by the most vicious judo attack in comedy history
