'Prizzi's Honour' and 'The Butler'

20/6/2015

In May the group enjoyed a tongue-in-cheek gangster movie, ‘Prizzi’s Honour’, starring Jack Nicholson, Kathleen Turner and Angelica Huston. Suffice to say many men schemed and fought but the superior tactician got her desired outcome.

The movie for June is ‘The Butler’. It has many leading actors involved and has attracted many favourable reviews. Your Convenor has not seen the movie so it will be new for me as well.

About our Film Discussion Group

Do you enjoy watching films? Do you find discussing films adds to your enjoyment? Do you find that you can better understand a movie by hearing and sharing thoughts about the film? We certainly do. At our Film Discussion classes we discuss a film we have watched during the month. In 2023:

We will select a film screening at BPACC
Participants will attend the film at a time that works with their individual commitments
We will meet to discuss the film at 2pm on the 2nd Wednesday

If a participant cannot attend a specific film, they can come along to learn about the film, or add to the discussion by talking about another film they have seen.

BPACC sell books of ten tickets for $100.00 (Meaning the films only cost $10 each) or I will have individual tickets available for $10 from a book prepurchased.
