Four Friday Films
Join us for four delightful movies. Two are foreign films you might have missed: 'The Lunch Box' and 'Bread and Chocolate.' Another is a classic from the '40s that blends nostalgia and drama: 'How Green Was My Valley,' featuring Maureen O'Hara. And one is a film whose description (a young boy learns to dance) belies its compelling story. This one, 'Billy Elliot,' you may well have seen.
