SUMMARY:Friday Night Film Series
DESCRIPTION:The Friday Night Films Series has shown 170 films from 18 countries such as the USA\, Mongolia\, France\, Spain\, Denmark\, and Sweden. The Friends of the Ashland Public Library pay for the Public Viewing License\, and film goers’ optional donations provide the funds for the movies\, which then become part of the library’s collection. Most films are shown closed captioned. \nFilms begin at 7:00pm in the Community Room on the lower level of the library.\n\n \n\n\n\nDate\nTitle / Description\n\n\nSept 8\nGolden Boys PG 1 hour 37 minutes \nFriday Night Film viewers saw the trailer for this film and requested it. Three retired sea captains live together and agree to advertise for a reliable\, able woman to cook and keep house. The catch—one must marry her so the other two can stay on for free. The plans go awry when a lovely\, strong-willed woman appears. \nDavid Carradine\, Rip Torn\, Bruce Dern\, Mariel Hemingway\, special appearance Julie Harris.\n\n\nSept 15\nThe Lightkeepers PG 1 hour 37 minutes \nA curmudgeon tends a remote Cape Cod lighthouse\, away from society\, especially women\, and then a young man washes up with a past full of secrets and a similar aversion to women. Two beautiful\, spirited women test the men’s resolve. \nRichard Dreyfuss\, Tom Wisdom\, Bruce Dern\, Blythe Danner\, Mamie Gummer.\n\n\nSept 22\nAmerican Friends PG 1 hour 36 minutes \nSelected because the plot sounds similar to The Lightkeepers\, but the scene is Switzerland and England. \nBased on Michael Palin’s grandfather\, a don at Oxford. A stuffy professor at St. John’s College\, Oxford\, heads off for a walking holiday in Switzerland. High up on a rocky Swiss plateau\, he encounters an American woman and her young ward. Being in the company of two charming women is a refreshing change from his well-ordered world at Oxford. Back in England\, with somewhat altered views on life\, about to be elected president of his college—a post for a bachelor—he is taken aback when the two women appear for a visit at the all-male school (where no women are supposed to be) and it becomes apparent that both are competing for his affection. American Friends is a beautiful\, charming film. \nMichael Palin\, Trini Alvarado\, Connie Booth\, Alfred Molina.\nFrom a story by Michael Palin\, screenplay by Michael Palin and Tristram Powell (director). \nRoger Ebert\, Chicago Sun-Times: “Ramin Bahrani is the new Great American Director.”\n\n\n Sept 29\nSpring Forward R (language) 1 hour 52 minutes \nThe profound\, unlikely friendship between two men of different generations delivers “the fullest possible emotional impact\,” Leonard Maltin\, Los Angeles Times. An ex-con in his first job out of prison works with an older man. Wary of each other at first\, the two men gradually develop a friendship and trust. In one of the most memorable scenes the two men talk on a porch all the while looking straight forward. Liev Shreiber\, Ned Beatty\, Ian Scott\, Teri Gilpin. \nVariety: “…deeply affecting.”\n\n\n\n  \n
