Bryn Mawr Classic Film Lovers Meetup Group

Join us for dinner before the film at 5 pm at Don Mezcal Mexican Grill in Bryn Mawr! As always, if you’re joining us for dinner please RSVP in the comment section of the event by Friday at 6 PM. Thank you! In this witty, moving dramedy, straitlaced David (writer/director Jesse Eisenberg) and rambunctious Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour of Poland, hoping to explore their family history. As they visit the places where their recently deceased grandmother grew up and survived the Holocaust, the cousins must confront the tensions in their own relationship.

To make a better life for her family, Mildred (Joan Crawford) bootstraps herself from waitress to wealthy restaurateur, but that’s not enough for her venomous firstborn (Ann Blyth). Mildred says she’ll do anything for her daughter’s love. How far will that take her? Noir meets melodrama in this tale of murder and motherhood from Michael Curtiz (Casablanca).

This screening will be presented in conjunction with the film course Women in Noir, taught by Jennifer Fleeger, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm.

As jungle combat quickly dispels rookie soldier Taylor’s (Charlie Sheen) idealism, his unit is caught up in a battle of wills between the principled Elias (Willem Dafoe) and the hard-edged Barnes (Tom Berenger). This searing Vietnam War saga won four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

This screening will be presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar, taught by Andrew Owen, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm.

IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU BUY YOUR TICKETS WELL IN ADVANCE FOR THIS FILM! Let’s meet before the film for dinner at Jin Ding Restaurant at 1051 Conestoga Road in Bryn Mawr at 4:30 PM Saturday! If you are joining us for dinner, please please RSVP in the comment section of this event by Thursday 11/21 at 6 PM – thank you! Featuring beloved songs like “Defying Gravity” and “For Good,” this spectacular adaptation of the Tony-winning musical relates the untold origin story of Oz’s Wicked Witch of the West (Cynthia Erivo) and her relationship to the glamorous Glinda (Ariana Grande).
