- Challengers at the Cedar Lee late Saturday night meetup afterwards TBDCancelled
This is a repeat meetup of the film Challengers with the possibility of going to Best Gyro or New Heights Grill after the film. This is a late Saturday night show as I work on Saturdays. Please meet at 9:15 pm by the benches inside the Cedar Lee theater. Challengers is a film about a female tennis player, her husband, and her ex boyfriend. The film has gotten good reviews but the subject matter may not be for everyone. Please consider joining the group for a late Saturday night movie meetup at the Cedar Lee. We will decide if we want to go home or eat afterwards. We will meet by the benches inside the Cedar Lee before and after the film.

I posted a film for this Saturday night, and in all honesty, I wasn't that excited about the film. I have now change my mind and I will host a movie that I really would like to watch. This is John Ford's film How Green Was My Valley. John Ford directed Steinbeck's epic The Grapes of Wrath (1940) a year before this film. John Ford was a progressive director of films and he won best Director for both The Grapes of Wrath and How Green Was My Valley. This film is about miners in South Wales who go on strike after they have their wages cut by the mine owners. I enjoy seeing films like this on a big screen. This film won 5 academy awards and beat out Citizen Kane for best picture. Meet by the benches of Cinematheque at 9:20 pm and after the film, this will be a movie only meetup. This meetup will not be cancelled so you can decide at the last minute to go. I will be coming to the movie right after work. I also want to say that Cinematheque has been showing some great films and I'm thankful for being on the email list.

- Election (1999) with director Alexander Payne, then dinner at Mia BellaCinematheque (Cleveland Institute of Art), Cleveland, OH

It won three 1999 Independent Spirit Awards—Best Feature, Direction, and Screenplay. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 103 min. plus post-film Q&A.
Special admission $25; members, CIA/CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $20; no passes.
