It gives me great pleasure to host our cinematic journey during the summer session.

Although each prior session hasn’t followed a central theme, the movies I chose this time arranged themselves quite neatly in a theme. We’ll see an “Oldie,” an animated film, a foreign film, a drama, a comedy and a new category; films about Los Angeles. The balance are movies I thought excellent. I choose films for their excellent writing, dialogue, acting, and their overall aura. If you enjoy delving more deeply into this art form enhanced via a group discussion, then this is the place to be. We will continue our quest to find the answer to: “What makes a movie a timeless masterpiece?”
