A Christmas Story
Directed by Bob Clark. US. 1983. Age 6+. 98 min. Warner Bros. blu ray.
Sponsored by Upattinas School
- Sat, Dec 22, 2:00 pm
“A Christmas Story grasps the full scope of childhood injustice and obsession. Amid the comically cranky Santa Clauses and tree-lighting mishaps, the movie’s key moment is a Billingsley crying jag, prompted by a fight with the neighborhood bully and the fear that his dad will clobber him. More»
It’s a Wonderful Life
Directed by Frank Capra. 1946. NR. 130 min. Paramount. 35mm.
Sponsored by Upattinas School
Sat, Dec 22 thru Sun, Dec 23 -- Roll over to view showtimes.
What can we say about It’s a Wonderful Life that hasn’t been said a thousand times before? One of the most popular movies of all time (though it wasn’t a hit when it was first released), this is a film that has come to represent all the hope, good will, and sentiment that define the holiday season. Please join us in rooting for Jimmy Stewart, Clarence the Angel, and all his friends as they discover that each of us, in our own way, is a vital part of the world, illustrating that John Donne was right in saying “each man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. Therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls – it tolls for thee.”¯ Attaboy, Clarence! (Bill Roth)
