Social Distancing: Fargo Theatre Film Club

I'm Very Excited About This Month's Selection

I know I miss seeing movies up on the big screen. There’s something exciting about watching something with a crowd who are all invested in the same thing at the same time. But if you’re missing that communal film-going experience during the pandemic, the Fargo Theater has you covered with their virtual film club they staryed last year. And this month’s movie caught my attention because it’s a stone cold classic, The Philadelphia Story from 1940. A rich heiress is about to get married, and the 1940-equivalent of the paparazzi is trying to crash the wedding with the help of her ex-husband.
It’s witty. It’s hilarious. Some of jokes surprised me with how cutting they are for 80 years ago.
And the cast is insane. Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart. All legends.
I re-watched it just a couple weeks ago and it’s as much fun as any modern day movie.
The Fargo Theater is hosting a Zoom discussion on the film on February 24th. All you gotta do is watch the movie ahead of time. You can stream it on HBO Max.

Now is a great time to catch up on old movies. It’s nice to relive the old days, you know, before COVID.
Let me know what you’re watching on Facebook and Twitter.
